Lyrics
Gotta make a way up out da hood they say im hopin too much
Gotta find a way to escape the challenging environment of the neighborhood; facing skepticism for being optimistic.
So I put ma pain inside dis wood they say im smokin too much
Channeling pain into smoking; coping mechanism questioned by others.
Swear to god Im stuck into my ways they say im rollin too tough
Commitment to personal ways, perceived as being too resilient; dealing with challenges of life.
But how the fuck im pose to feel wen niggas scopin to buss
Feeling conflicted due to potential threats; the difficulty of maintaining composure.
Closes niggas to me changin got me feelin some way
Close relationships changing, causing emotional distress.
All alone I pray to god to give me healing some day
Seeking solace through prayer for emotional healing in solitude.
If you aint ridin you a witness gotta keep dem away
Being cautious about those who may betray; emphasizing loyalty.
Maxin out up ina pen couldnt do minimum wage

Said I was blessed wit all dis game im just goin give it away
Grateful for life lessons, willing to share wisdom with others.
Angels watchin over me das who im missin today

Demons workin overtime dey want a nigga to stray

But I ride wit god cause he da reason why im livin today

And das onda name of jesus pain and grieving only done gave me reason

Crazy even heart been shattered feel like it came in pieces

Cant believe um cause they leave me up in ma rainy season
Distrustful of others due to past experiences; navigating through difficult times.
Way I see it grass is greener now dat da day is gleaming
Optimistic about the future, comparing it to a brighter, greener time.
Now dey see it by dat time im outta they reach
Success becoming apparent, moving beyond the reach of doubters.
How im stylin they goin bite but they goin lie through they teeth
Aware of imitators and deceitful behavior; staying true to oneself.
Only family move like da mob look like a modern day meech
Highlighting the loyalty of family, resembling a modern-day organized crime figure.
I come in peace but I keep da heat das if its drama they seek

Turn a boy into a man da streets is how I was growin
