How I Was Raised
From Pain to Triumph: A Real Nigga's Journey
Lyrics
Won't a near nigga snatch my chain, got bread but I
Expressing the desire to avoid danger and robbery, emphasizing financial success but needing more earnings.
But I needa get paid, in the field I be working like a slave, hope
Working hard in challenging conditions, hoping not to revert to difficult past times.
We ain't going back to them days, from the mud lotta days it rained
Reflecting on past struggles and rainy days, indicating a tough upbringing.
Saw the opps it was in Duquesne, coulda spun
Noting a confrontation in Duquesne with rivals, considering retaliation but they didn't act.
But they ain't do a thang, came back and I had that thang
Returning after a confrontation with confidence and a weapon.
Felt like it I was letting off pain, I don't know why I go
Using violence as a way to release emotional pain, questioning personal choices.
Through thangs, sometimes I be feeling insane
Expressing feelings of insanity and confusion amidst life challenges.
Told my momma that I'm gone make a way, never worried what
Committing to making a successful path, disregarding others' opinions, especially if not said to one's face.
Another nigga say, especially if he can't say it to ya face
Affirming resilience and authenticity, emphasizing a tough upbringing.
Real nigga that's how I was raised
Stating a commitment to being a genuine and honest individual based on upbringing.
From the mud so a nigga lil dirty, talk shit fill em up w like 30
Describing a challenging background, ready to confront adversaries.
Ain't gotta do it cause I hang curry, don't sweat shit
Confident demeanor, not worried about challenges.
Nigga ain't worried
Being unfazed by difficulties, displaying a fearless attitude.
10 toes ima stand on mine, real nigga, ion tell no lies
Standing firm and truthful, dealing with emotional pain by getting high.
Shit hurt so I gotta high, sometimes that's just how I get by
Acknowledging that achieving success led to recognition, emphasizing the pursuit of more.
They ain't care till they seen I was up, being nobody just ain't enough
Reflecting on a tough upbringing and the necessity of striving for success.
Where I'm from we came up rough, for the
Recalling a challenging upbringing and a focus on financial success without judgment.
Bread then I really can't judge, red slugs hit yo mans up
Highlighting loyalty and readiness for violence in defense of friends.
Say my mans name we bust, Herc served white like ku klux
Referencing drug-related activities, associating with violence for protection.
Young niggas had bread we was up
Recalling a time of prosperity with friends.
Why she all over me, she just ain't notice me
Questioning why someone is showing interest now after not noticing before.
Guess she realized that her man wasn't cold as me, sing to the Pussy
Noting a realization about a partner's previous lack of appreciation, playfully comparing to Jodeci.
I'm feeling like Jodeci... Nah i'm just playing
Humorous statement about being in a good mood, not intending to be taken seriously.
Just popped a zan n now I can't stand, I am so high and don't wanna
Describing the effects of drug use, feeling elevated and not wanting to return to reality.
Land, know you a pussy won't boot for ya mans
Distrustful of others, especially when it comes to loyalty.
Won't a near nigga snatch my chain, got bread but I

But they ain't do a thang, came back and I had that thang
Returning confidently after a confrontation with a weapon.
Felt like it I was letting off pain, I don't know why I go
