Ill Life 4 - Preme[00:00:00]
Written by:Raynford Humphrey/Andrew Franklin/Jermaine Thompson[00:00:01]
I used to say[00:00:11]
Do dreams really come true[00:00:12]
Do miracles happen[00:00:14]
Can I get paid for my passion[00:00:15]
When I was young and my American fam would laugh at my accent[00:00:17]
I'd say my accent is 'bout as thick as your glasses ha[00:00:20]
Proud to say I've never caught up with fashion[00:00:23]
These clothes can't cover your soul[00:00:26]
And as of lately[00:00:28]
I've been focused on my lady[00:00:29]
F**k b**ches man them hoes ain't covered in gold[00:00:31]
They wouldn't let me cross the borders the customs had me hold[00:00:34]
It's my story if I ain't tell it it will never be told[00:00:37]
Every man must stand on his own two[00:00:40]
I know the grind taught me how to hustle in '02[00:00:43]
From flippin' burgers to committin' burglaries uh[00:00:46]
From winnin' spelling bee's to catchin' felonies uh[00:00:49]
My hood credentials[00:00:52]
Such way to protection[00:00:54]
Momma I pray I make it to make up for what you been through[00:00:55]
Nobody really gets you[00:00:58]
Feel like the whole world is against you[00:01:00]
And ain't nobody comin' in your rescue[00:01:02]
And all you wanna do is be the best you[00:01:05]
Just know you're born for this ill life[00:01:08]
You ain't the only one goin' through this ill life[00:01:11]
All I know how to live is this ill life[00:01:14]
They gon' see what I did with this ill life yeah yeah[00:01:17]
Uh follow my story[00:01:20]
See the pain in my steps[00:01:22]
Sunshine bring life[00:01:23]
So I'ma reign of the death[00:01:25]
For the sake of my kid I'm tryna find some common ground with my ex[00:01:26]
But it's hard to get right when you left[00:01:30]
And lately sh*t done got me thinkin'[00:01:32]
How I gotta strike in order to become a kingpin[00:01:34]
Let that sink in[00:01:37]
Quiet in the club just smokin' drinkin'[00:01:38]
Or yellin' free my n**gas like I'm Lincoln[00:01:41]
Remember when Cole would open for Drake[00:01:43]
And I would open for Cole[00:01:45]
So I'ma climb to the top I was still two levels below[00:01:46]
That sh*t just feed the hunger I have to settle the score[00:01:50]
Get off toe hop out my bike back to pedellin' dope[00:01:52]
Talk about bein' stressed had to finally accept[00:01:55]
I'd be rich if I could catch a reality check[00:01:58]
Money ain't never make me[00:02:01]
Pu**y ain't never slaved me[00:02:02]
So trappin' while I'm rappin' just prayin' that lord you save me[00:02:04]
Nobody really gets you[00:02:07]
Feel like the whole world is against you[00:02:09]
And ain't nobody comin' in your rescue[00:02:12]
And all you wanna do is be the best you[00:02:15]
Just know you're born for this ill life[00:02:17]
You ain't the only one goin' through this ill life[00:02:20]
All I know how to live is this ill life[00:02:23]
They gon' see what I did with this life yeah yeah[00:02:26]
Uh and what I can say[00:02:29]
Besides I want it[00:02:31]
Want it more kinda sore[00:02:31]
A young boy make a fossils out of these dinosaurs[00:02:33]
Say it say it loud and proud[00:02:36]
Own that sh*t I got ownership[00:02:38]
I can hand out these eviction notices[00:02:40]
Young black landlord[00:02:42]
N**gas can't see me like a sandstorm[00:02:43]
Big gold medals like we ran for 'em[00:02:45]
Still willin' to fall for what we stand for[00:02:48]
Violate I'll cut off your lights like I pulled the lamp cord[00:02:50]
Uh we catch flights then catch feelings[00:02:53]
Hard to smell the hate through the scent of a fresh million[00:02:56]
Realest n**gas recite me the fake never relate[00:02:59]
I'm from where a man is measured by what he got in his safe[00:03:02]
On the corner duckin' police[00:03:06]
Know me I grew up and I blew up now I'm the OG[00:03:08]
Slim n**ga pockets so big[00:03:12]
Got my b**ches on a short leash[00:03:14]
Nobody really gets you[00:03:16]
Feel like the whole world is against you[00:03:18]
And ain't nobody comin' in your rescue[00:03:21]
And all you wanna do is be the best you[00:03:24]
Just know you're born for this ill life[00:03:27]
You ain't the only one goin' through this ill life[00:03:30]
All I know how to live is this ill life[00:03:33]
They gon' see what I did with this life[00:03:35]
