Lyrics
Im giving this everything that I got
Expressing dedication and commitment, giving his all.
The feds came threw and took everything from the block.
Refers to a police raid taking away everything from the neighborhood.
I watch so many Niggas do anything for a watch
Observing people willing to do anything for material wealth, like a watch.
I thought you was my man til you ratted on me.
Expressing betrayal by someone he thought was a friend who cooperated with law enforcement.
This shit broke my heart you turned your back on me.
Feeling heartbroken due to the betrayal and abandonment.
You let these Niggas line me and confine me it was right before 50 was bout to sign me.
Describing a situation where others conspired against him, hindering a potential record deal with 50 Cent.
Now I look crazy, and the lawyer can't save me.
Feeling helpless, and legal representation seems ineffective.
They made me do seven and cousin Ree got attempt.
Describing a criminal past, where he received a seven-year sentence, and his cousin faced attempted charges.
They say it don't make sense conspiracy I can't beat.
Expressing frustration with a legal system that seems unbeatable, possibly referring to a conspiracy charge.
7 hours from the crib they knock me off of my feet.
Being physically distant from home, facing challenges and setbacks.
300 minutes on the phone can barely talk every week.
Highlighting limited communication while incarcerated, particularly with family.
When I am speaking to my son he say he want new sneaks
His son desires new sneakers, possibly emphasizing the personal impact of his incarceration on family life.
He think I am in the army cause Im militant.
Perceived as a disciplined and militant person, possibly for survival reasons.
Gotta walk around wit a knife cause they killing shit
Constant danger, necessitating the need to carry a weapon for self-defense.
Yeah they killing shit.
Reinforcing the dangerous environment where violence is prevalent.
I come from a place where the sun don't shine niggas catching cases.
Describing a challenging environment where legal troubles are common.
Cops and the judge don't play no games
Highlighting a lack of fairness in the criminal justice system.
Know them folks still wanna hang us.
Stating that societal prejudices persist against their community.
Cause we winning, and we up, we up, we up, we up, we up
Repeated emphasis on success and overcoming adversity.
Yeah we winning, we up, we up, we up, we up, we up
-We winning, and we up, we up, we up, we up we up
-Yeah we winning, we up, we up, we up, we up, we up
-If I do the internet then Im brainless
Disregarding the importance of internet fame, prioritizing financial success.
I came for the money
Stating a clear focus on financial gain rather than seeking fame.
I ain't tryna be famous
Rejecting the desire for celebrity status.
I remember eating soups of water Im not ashamed of it
Recalling humble beginnings, emphasizing personal growth and success.
Now it's new Benzes and jets not many friends is left
Having achieved material success but at the cost of losing friends.
Too many times I got hurt
Reflecting on past hardships and betrayals.
They was counting me out
Others underestimated him in the past.
Now they pass me the bag
Now being recognized and offered lucrative opportunities.
Im just counting it out
Counting and enjoying newfound wealth.
I remember them days I use to sleep on the couch
Recalling a time of financial struggle when sleeping on a couch was common.
I front line for the war I was turning it out
Actively participating in conflict or competition and achieving success.
Now Im moving around holding down me and my niggas
Moving forward with close associates.
The only ones with me, the ones that get the picture
Remaining loyal to those who understand his situation.
Stay out indictments stay strap cause they ain't fighting
Avoiding legal trouble and staying prepared for potential threats.
I know Im the one cause they don't like me
Feeling disliked or targeted, possibly due to success.
I come from a place where the sun don't shine niggas catching cases.
Reiteration of the challenging environment and legal issues in the community.
Cops and the judge don't play no games
Emphasizing a lack of fairness in dealings with law enforcement.
Know them folks still wanna hang us.

Cause we winning, and we up, we up, we up, we up, we up
