Lyrics
Sitting on stairs, in street affairs
Sitting in the midst of street matters
Jordan Airs, he got at least seven pairs
Referring to multiple pairs of Jordan sneakers
His voice rare, talk with a mumble
His voice is unique, with a tendency to mumble
Chicago bear hat, quarterback the huddle
Wearing a Chicago Bears hat, leading a huddle like a quarterback
Called a audible of trouble came
Made a strategic decision when faced with trouble
His name Chris, black as his hustle name
Named Chris, emphasizing his black identity and hustling
Reaction to his chains, it's like a basketball game
People's reactions to his chains resemble a basketball game
Watch him winning, hope your team do the same
Successfully achieving goals, wishing the same for others
A menace, he owed dog Kane
A troublemaker who owes allegiance to a figure named Kane
Wish a nigga would go against his grain
Challenges anyone who goes against his principles
Used to stain but moved up in the game
Started from a lower position, moved up in the game
Takin' niggas spots, takin' niggas fame
Taking others' positions and fame in the process
The fortune of a 'caine, long live his reign
Referring to the wealth and power associated with the drug trade
He do it for his son, he do it with a gun
Acting for the benefit of his son, using force if necessary
Whatever he do, yo, he do it till it's done
Completing tasks with determination
A team full of hitters, so they hit and run
Having a team that executes plans and avoids consequences
The prestone even want none
Even the authorities don't want to mess with them
Walk with the G's cause the G's never run
Walking confidently with others who share the same principles
Something to be from the slum and be the one
Proud to come from a disadvantaged background and become successful
This is where he at, this is where he from
Emphasizing his roots and current location
Where I'm from
Reflecting on his origins
Living life with no fear
Living life without being afraid
Putting that truth in my baby girl's ear
Sharing honest advice with his daughter
Told her that dudes gon' want some ass
Warning his daughter about potential advances from men
And whatever you do, do it with class
Encouraging his daughter to conduct herself with dignity
She wanna E, but to me, you gotta earn it
Expressing that respect and success must be earned
You can't circumvent life, you gotta earn it
Life's challenges cannot be avoided; they must be faced
It's the circle of life, that's why we're turning
Life is cyclical, and they are adapting to its challenges
Yo, I hit a choir and the sermon, our messiah is returning
Referencing a religious experience with choir and sermon
With the towel around my neck, I style around respect
Describing his self-respect and style
Know the smell of good shit, the sound of a TEC
Recognizing quality and danger in various aspects of life
They fire, drill, stop dropping roll
Handling challenges with preparedness
I popped out the Cole hip-hop, that was gold
Contributing to hip-hop with valuable content
The way of the road is our ode to the legacy
Embracing the challenges of life as a tribute to their legacy
Come on dog, you know my pedigree
Asserting his identity and lineage
Find it forever be, the sun never set on me
Stating that his impact will last forever
Many reign, but the game never weather me
Many have ruled, but he remains undefeated in the game
If I'm in the building it mean I got equity
Being in a position of influence and ownership
Where articles are black like Ebony
Referencing the black community's representation
Since I was a shorty I was thinking longevity
Thinking about a lasting legacy since childhood
No fear, I say that with levity
Expressing confidence and fearlessness
Where I'm from
Reiterating his roots and current location (repeated)
