Lyrics
Yo, Benji
Addressing someone named Benji.
We was four deep in a Honda
Four people in a Honda, cruising without drama.
Riding through the heights, no drama
Traveling through the heights, drama-free.
Granny threw me out, say I only like to rap and blow ganja
Granny kicked out due to focus on rap and marijuana.
Had the XD on crowd control, this bitch a showstopper
Carrying XD for control, commanding attention.
Naw he ain't my bro if he don't know double G or know mama
Questioning friendship based on knowledge of family and brand.
Got tired of beef, they say I'm soft, I'm tryna go harder
Tired of conflicts, striving to appear tougher.
Don't think you'll ever feel my pain, I can't explain, so why bother
Unique pain, challenging to explain.
So many fake ass niggas, when I see real I applaud it
Recognizing and applauding genuine people amidst fakes.
This shit ain't business, if feelings involved in
Distinguishing personal from business in relationships.
All this shit got me feeling exhausted
Feeling exhausted due to life's challenges.
But shit, I'm grown now, I'm tryna make a way
Transitioning into adulthood, seeking a path.
Plenty days, they probably thought I was okay
Appearances deceive, internal struggles unnoticed.
That shit was fake, whole time was fucked up with no pay
Struggling financially despite appearances.
Failing wishing I could drop out, I can't focus on no grades
Wishing to drop out, unable to focus on grades.
Especially when you a star, and niggas calling for jpay
Star status attracts attention, challenges with communication.
Paid a lawyer for my case, so I don't end up doing the same
Investing in legal representation to avoid repeating mistakes.
I was bussing before rap, before Khado, I had a name
Experienced life before fame.
Gang was hitting licks and stains before I ever flipped the pack
Engaged in illegal activities before entering the drug trade.
9 to 5 was my everyday, if you a hustler
Worked a 9 to 5 job, emphasizing the hustle mentality.
You gon' get up and chase it in every way
Encouraging hustling in every aspect of life.
Gotta get it when you spending, it can't take this to the grave
Emphasizing the urgency of acquiring wealth.
Real hustler music, wake up early, get it and hustle to it
Describing real hustler music, emphasizing hard work.
Salute the real, I been up some nights, I was going through it
Acknowledging and respecting the real struggles.
I seen niggas turn into snakes and I seen bitches choosing
Witnessing betrayal and choosing sides.
You said you love me, then traded on me, that shit confusing
Expressing confusion over love turning to betrayal.
If it ain't making me no paper, screw it
Rejecting pursuits that don't generate income.
If you ain't with me, then fuck is you doing
Questioning others' commitment to the journey.
This that hustler music
Reiterating that this is hustler music.
My name was legendary before I ever came out the pussy, boy
Claiming a legendary status before birth.
Can't fuck with no pussy, boy
Rejecting superficial relationships.
These niggas dying over pussy, boy
Highlighting the dangers of pursuing relationships recklessly.
Been rapping since 14, don't try me like no rookie wait
Experienced in rap since a young age, demanding respect.
Don't push me, I had run-ins niggas, no Khado, gone do his thang,
Warning against testing him, confident in abilities.
I let my people talk they shit, cause I do the same
Accepting criticism from close ones, as he does the same.
You the type to see your man's up pape, then go and try to hate
Warning against envy and betrayal in friendships.
Get your bitch fucked, you gone wanna kill the nigga or run a fade,
Consequences of betrayal in relationships.
In other words gang, don't be a goofy or no fucking lame
Encouraging authenticity and avoiding foolishness.
They must've think I ain't seen a storm, I survived a hurricane
Survived tough times, comparing it to a hurricane.
The way that shit was set up, ay, I should never heard of pain
Reflecting on past pain and challenges.
Now I got some that's dead and gone, trapped inside concrete homes
Mentioning losses and emotional struggles.
Some snakes who faked inside of human souls, I can't even trust the same
Highlighting deception and the difficulty of trust.
You close to where you trying to get to, where you started from
Encouraging persistence despite setbacks.
So you gotta keep going, and that's the point
Emphasizing the need to keep moving forward.
If you stay there, you'll reach that point, you'll look up and be like, shit
Stressing the importance of continuous progress.
It's closer to get to where I'm trying to get than to stop and turn around
Choosing to move forward instead of turning back.
