I just pray that I'm livin' prosperous
Comin' from conditions that's moderate to accomplishin'

Each goal I ever set, that check off my bucket list
A

Gbm
pack a stick back on my shit
A

Dbm
Story I could tell, I could still remember the smell
Of my cell, thought I was in hell, hit mama for mail
Gbm A
I had CO's that I wanted to hurt, I'm speedin' fast, I just wanna reverse
Dbm
Get some fame behind your name and they gon' come at you worse
I've seen friends go to the essence, they left blood on my shirt
Gbm
And I can't never get them stains out
Try and understand what this pain 'bout
A
Half deaf in my left ear from them shots that done rang out
Dbm
I'm tryna own property, put my daughter through private school
Fiends was our neighbors, then mama told us, we gotta move
Gbm
I thought I knew it all, couldn't pay me to follow rules
A
Almost lost my life for some Prada shoes, you gotta choose
[Chorus]
Dbm
Is dying worth everything you done lived for?
Ran out of Arm & Hammer, get more, was piss poor
Gbm
I can't even add up all the clothing stores we ripped off
A
I gotta get fresh, it was so hard to get them zips off
Dbm
I smoke alot, see a opp, spot 'em like a polka dot
Always in the gutter like I bowl alot
Gbm
Open up the Rover top, blow up fifty bag to the heavens
A
Kept a mask plus a weapon, I ain't know if I was gon' blow or not
[Verse 2]
Dbm
I never knew 'bout no fame or no movement (never)
Now I'm recruitin' lieutenants, my women friends they was in there boostin'
Gbm
She must of loved me, she put this onion up in the coochie
A
Played games, my youngest one fades and not the one on Boosie
Dbm
Heavenly scented, the Dodger was rented
Tryna prosper by any means, I'm Malcolm in a Detroit fitted
Gbm
I got the scars from my life of war
A
I love the rap, but I don't like the talk
Dbm
I get excited if the white is soft (powder)
I push the Porsche until the pipes exhaust
Ain't got no felonies, get a license for it
Gbm A
So many thoughts got me thinkin' like, "Shit, I might record this"
The couch was leather, the floor was cold and the phone was cordless
Dbm
Talkin' my mother crib, ounces in my dresser
The cash in my Timberland box, keep all that extras
Gbm
The one they loved the most, kidnap 'em, they'll get the message
A
Stay down 'til you come up, you'll get your blessings
[Chorus]
Dbm
Is dying worth everything you done lived for?
Ran out of Arm & Hammer, get more, was piss poor
Gbm
I can't even add up all the clothing stores we ripped off
A
I gotta get fresh, it was so hard to get them zips off
Dbm
I smoke alot, see a opp, spot 'em like a polka dot
Always in the gutter like I bowl alot
Gbm
Open up the Rover top, blow up fifty bag to the heavens
A
Kept a mask plus a weapon, I ain't know if I was gon' blow or not
