I came a long way Used to pray I be forgotten Blocking blessings plotting on myself to scheming on some dollars Know some niggas who got booked Way before they turned to scholars And the ones we calling crooks Be the same ones in a collar Outta Gotham down to Queens Hours out in the heat Could've been my last day if Peter ain't intervene Silly accident as kids asphyxiation under tree I was 7 with a rope around my neck was barely breathing Slipped into the swing and best friend ain't even see it Vision dimming by the second I swear that seen that beacon Was happening too fast couldn't tell you what I was thinking Maybe pull me from the afterlife Scenes of my mother grieving Ion know it's luck or a deeper reason Fleet the fight we call life I was over clouds peaking Holding on by thread heard a muffled up door creaking Then Voice inside whispering to me I ain't leaving I ain't done yet On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in worlds right here Okay Switched cribs Momma can't afford to pay the rent Almost 15 people all living in that bih Couple years before earthquake in Haiti in 2010 In about a year all them strangers became my friends Called one my older brother Stevie Blue in the flesh, yes Test me and trust punch a hole in ya chest check up He invited mad friends after school Now we balling with them thinking I'm a part of they crew A petty crime, one stole money and then our Xbox Steve Pressed that Nigga bad and beat into the bedrock Then he taught me how to fight even wrote my first raps with em Had my first drinks I rolling through the town with em One day dolly I was drifting on the couch Then he came home, head gushing, bleeding from the mouth Torn clothes, Brodie told me niggas jumped him for his coat Begging that I find em still too young to run up smoke But I gotta fight for em Type scorn This that on sight war, Life force, nights worn, I'm watching the light warp Getting stronger with him Showed me 50 Cents "Many Men" He said they got him once but fucked up cos he ain't dead so he ain't done yet On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in worlds right here Years later mind reconstructing got to to learn smarter Seen my momma cry, wipe them tears then she worked harder Endurance seared into my eyes and the word "martyr" How much more damage can I take before the day done? Where my fam from we stay tough we know how shit gets Bathing in them cold water bucket and candle lit cribs Even through the struggle it's about the laughs we get in I just want to see my ideas never really cared to get rich Roaches next to rodents in the kitchen Funny how them old problems help you gain a new position Or the opposite while my ma promoted I was chopping at my confidence Them days monotonous I was growing all them silences I know someone feel me not knowing what they deserve Same reason why niggas on block circle the curb This not just for me For all of ya'll I'll make it worth it Felt the burn, close skies and the mud that cover the earth And we still here kicking while we palming them blunts So wipe ya tears ma you looking at ya prodigal son A couple pictures in my mind of what's to surely become Although this the ending track just know I've begun and I ain't done yet! On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here (I ain't done yet) On and on And everyone I need in world's right here And everyone I need in the world's right here Right here
