As I stroll down memory lane
All I envision is pain
Uh
H, what up, baby?
Pablo
Bob Marley's flippin' shit like that you know? (La Música de Harry Fraud)

As I look back at my life, before I pack for flights (before)
Before I rock the stage, I hardly ask for advice (uh)
I told my shorty say a prayer for me, I pray I'm back tonight (pray for me)
'Cause cash the only thing I'm after 'til the afterlife (the cash)
I could see it 'fore it happened (uh), my socks was never matchin' (nah)
Piss stains was on my mattress, never heard of payin' taxes
Now I twirl around the atlas, call up harry, "Let's make magic" (let's go)
Lot of losses, life been tragic, we can't shoot 'em, we gon' stab 'em
Pull that new shit up in traffic (skrr), and roll the windows up (roll 'em up)
Ac dumpin', smokin' Kush like I don't give a f*ck (f*ck 'em)
Reminiscin', a couple years ago was feelin' stuck
I just had another baby girl, I need a bigger truck (I need somethin' bigger)
Came from pissy staircases (uh), backwoods spillin' guts
Alcoholics talkin' about their problems, make you spill your cup (back up, nigga)
Uh, bumpin' into niggas I ain't seen in years
Couldn't afford no liquor, I was stressin', I just need a beer
He caught a homicide, shaved his face, a witness seen his beard (uh)
A lot of mixed emotions, keep him focused, tryna see it clear (I'm tryin')
Everything that you ever imagined, I done seen it here (I seen it)
Wanted to shoot, soon as he spun that block 
Too many people there (boom, too many people there)
And I don't need no hook for this shit (I don't)
He frontin' for the 'gram, that make him look like he lit
Before you could blink, we done took us another trip (we gone)
Tequila really got me bent, I think I need another sip 
(Pour me another glass of that, my nigga, uh) one more

Smokin' on somethin' from Sacramento (from Cali)
Big dog, I wasn't bred in your average kennel (rrr)
Always made my way through the zone, learned how to dribble (always)
Now he just really tryna go home, he been in the spittle
Them nurses and the doctors they got his body uncomfortable
Used to eatin' steak and shrimp, they servin' cuzzo Lunchables (damn)
I been battlin' demons for a month or two (uh)
I can hear the storm, it get hard to notice what the thunder do (uh)
Walkin' through the rain until I'm soakin' wet
But I don't fear no evil, keep it solid, 'cause I know I'm blessed (I know it)
Verse 13:11, Quran says that you could help yourself 
Ain't gotta grab nobody arms (nobody)
Really ready to kill, but in this vibe my homie calm (calm)
Rollie arms, make a hater take you from your only mom
Only dons smoke cohibas and politic 'bout this paper
Now I feel like I'm livin' great when I see my neighbors (I know)
Same tax bracket, but my upbringin' was different (different)
I put H on the production, time to touch another million (let's go)
It's hard to sell it if you scared, we cut up squares like we Sicilian
I'm prepared to count a billion
I seen shootouts in the playground, where nobody was safe (boom, boom, boom)
Niggas dyin' to get up off the block, but nobody escape (nobody)
My sis' was in love with Jodeci, she used to play Xscape
And SWV, coke dreams, I wanted a ki (I wanted a ki)
That's on Malik
I tried to make a killin' off of crime until I focused up
Like I can make a million off of rhymes, we was broke as f*ck
Standin' in the buildin' with my .9
Now they know it's us, I really built my name just tryin' to grind (grind)
I know niggas that got knocked for fraud, now I'm locked in with Fraud
When times get hard, make you talk to god like, "Who really in charge?"
The cup was light brown, it remind me of Chico DeBarge
Four, fives and sixes, dice game when you see the garage (when you see the garage)

Four, fives and sixes, dice game when you see the garage (when you see the garage)
Four, fives and sixes, dice game when you see the garage
