I know you proud of me, look at all this shit I prevailed
The youngest of your seeds, making sure the family eat well
I give 'em what they need, I vow we always be well
I told brodie change his ways, I'm praying he don't see jail
To live another day, I'm praying I won't see Hell
Aingt no telling what I'd do for my family, just know I mean well
No, you aingt next to me, no, you aingt next to me
But I'm hoping you can see, I'm praying you can see
A million dollar curses turn to million dollar dreams
A million dollars on me, but girl, it aingt what it seems
I'm having nightmares, I'm having nightmares of my brother clutching on me
Can't see the snakes up in the grass, so will you show me?
You can't trust these niggas, aingt your friends, what you told me
Young man, just stay up off the streets, it can get lonely
You can do whatever you wanna dream of, what you told me
I aingt understand your words back then, but that's the old me, but look at me now
I'm walking on the stage, they waiting for me like twenty-thre thou'
Too many voices in my head, just know I'm hearing you loud
I'm walking 'round, smile on my face, just know I'm hurting inside
Oh, yeah, I'm hurting inside
So I buy diamonds on diamonds on diamonds galore
Chain after chain after chain, what's the worth?
But it seemed to be the only thing that make me happy
I lost my soul and I lost my daddy
I know, I know
I know you proud of me, look at all this shit I prevailed
The youngest of your seeds, making sure the family eat well
I give 'em what they need, I vow we always be well
I told brodie change his ways, I'm praying he don't see jail
To live another day, I'm praying I won't see Hell
Aingt no telling what I'd do for my family, just know I mean well
No, you aingt next to me (me), no, you aingt next to me (me)
But I'm hoping you can see, I'm praying you can see
Hunnid dollar nightmares turn to million dollar dreams
Riding past the block where my dad got left on the scene
Look at your lil' boy now, we done turned to kings
Shit turned me a grown man 'fore I was seventeen
Had to go and play my own hand, I did this for Nasheema and the whole fam
I got everything, but I just really wanna hold hands with my old man
On wedding day while we slow dance
But aingt no love, shot him in his heart, aingt have no chance
So I can't sleep, 'somniac, bullet holes out the Pontiac
Swear to God, I'd trade in all these riches to get Robbie back (yeah)
Swear to God, I'd trade in all these foreigns to get Terry back
I'm hanging out with my daddy, lost his life, and I'm aware of that
You had taught me how to fight (oh) and when you got shot (boom)
I thought about that shit every night, aingt got a Glock
I was hot, but I aingt stop, I just bought your mama spot (oh)
And winning now, she was living PHA, now can't nobody kick us out
Scared to show up at your grave cause I might try dig you out
Like you know I did this shit for you
Never heard you say it back, still be like, I miss you too
And when I catch the nigga that did this to you, he getting sent to you
Skipping school daddy did, f*ck the principal
She think I'm missing screws, when really, I'm just missing you
My homie dad gon' pick us up, I want you to get me too
I was kinda mad I aingt have one that used to hit me too
Nipsey blue Cullinan, I'm in the Ghost, I think of you
Think of bro, I think of Snupe, I think 'bout B, it made me, Ooh, (shit)
Money rule the world, but you can't pay God with it
I'd spend it all just to get back my niggas
I know you proud of me, look at all this shit I prevailed
The youngest of your seeds, making sure the family eat well
I give 'em what they need, I vow we always be well
I told brodie change his ways, I'm praying he don't see jail
To live another day, I'm praying I won't see Hell
Aingt no telling what I'd do for my family, just know I mean well
No, you aingt next to me, no, you aingt next to me
But I'm hoping you can see, I'm praying you can see
