Ayy, I came from the block where it’s cold,
Now I'm in a spot with the bottles on gold,
Bad ones dancin', lookin' like Vogue,
But I ain’t forget, I was slidin' on foes.
Walk in the party, Diddy like, "Yo!"
Cîroc in my hand but I’m watchin' the door,
Security deep, but Von don’t fold,
I'm peepin' the vibe, it's rich but it's bold.
Chain heavy, my opps get jelly,
In the back with a model, she thick like deli,
Talkin’ to French, he rollin’ a stogie,
Said, “Von, you next!” I said, “They gon’ know me.”
(Hook)
From O’Block to the penthouse roof,
Still got the stick, yeah, I move with proof,
Lights real bright, but I move aloof,
A street king steppin’ in designer boots.
They ain't seen a drillin’ star like this,
Pop out clean, but the heart still grit,
Diddy throw the party, but I bring the twist,
One foot in the game, one deep in the bricks.
(Verse 2)
Dancers twirlin’, lights all flashin’,
But I see the snakes in the Louis fashion,
Grew up fast, I ain’t got time for laughin’,
Only time I dance is when opps get past tense.
Talkin’ to Puff, he say I’m a beast,
Told him my story, he say it’s a feast,
"Turn that pain into money, at least"
I said, "Bet, but I still got heat."
No cappin’, Von ain’t switch,
Even if I’m posted up rich with the clique,
Took the war scars straight to the Ritz,
Still remember nights we was hittin' them licks.
(Hook)
From O’Block to the penthouse roof,
Still got the stick, yeah, I move with proof,
Lights real bright, but I move aloof,
A street king steppin’ in designer boots.
They ain't seen a drillin’ star like this,
Pop out clean, but the heart still grit,
Diddy throw the party, but I bring the twist,
One foot in the game, one deep in the bricks.
(Outro - Spoken style)
“Yeah... Von in the building,
Pop bottles, but I remember when we had none.
Diddy, I see you — but this pain?
This pain got a price tag now...”
(R.I.P. King Von — Chicago’s voice still echoes) 🕊️
