I′m a living little good thing (yeah)

It's like you never lived for me, yeah

Mama said you was a good thing, uhGood, good, good, yeah

Yeah

We came a long way, man, we done came a long way

And we sitting on top of this shit

This shit can go one or two ways

This shit can go up, it can go down

Either way, nigga, I′m prepared

Feel me? Yeah

I be coming in peace, but fuck me

Best beware the others

This shit deep, undercovers creep

This Southern heat make unbearable summers

Just last week, seen yo' mama weep

Crying 'cause she don′t want bury your brother

The blood leaks while the EMTs gotta carry her baby like surrogate mothers

Whoa, thank God we survived around where the terrorists hovered

Though traumatized, wouldn′t trade it for nothing

Through hard times, it was there I discovered

A hustle and making the best out the struggle

I kept grinding 'til this day, up a level

Respect mine, gotta stay out of trouble

′Cause TEC-9s like to air out rebuttals

Cole World, niggas knowing what it is

Just in case they don't, I show ′em what it is

Then summer, I do real numbers

Couldn't dare touch it if they sold the double disc

Block hot, niggas burning up the street

Shots popping and we heard it up the street

It′s a war, niggas running up the score

Jesus said that you should turn the other cheek

Was his niggas getting murdered e'ry week?

Dead bodies, smell the odor in the street

My homie' homie got out on parole

He sold more Coca-Cola than the soda industry

Summertime bring the coldest winter breeze

Hella blues like the Rollin′ 60s

Christ went to Heaven age 33

And so did Pimp C, and so did Nipsey

I told you, I told you

This shit can go up, it can go down, I don′t give a fuck

Nigga, I done seen the highest heights

I done seen it twice

And I've seen the lowest of the lows

And still I rose

Now I′m at your neck, nigga, yeah
