Prompt / Lyrics
I was broke, starvin’, dreamin’ of a better life Had to risk my freedom every night just to get it right Mama workin’ doubles, tryna keep the kitchen light I was in them trenches where them killers don’t miss at night Seen my brother in a casket, I can’t heal from that Every time I close my eyes, I see him still in black We was runnin’ from the law, duckin’ steel and crack Now I’m tryna stack M’s, never deal with that Pain in my voice, you can feel every word I say Had to pray for a change, but the hurt still stay Lost some friends to the streets, they got carried away I keep my pole on my lap, can’t get buried today I came from cold nights, now the stars all mine I was runnin’ through the dark, now I see the sunshine They ain’t never show me love ‘til they seen me on grind Now they tryna come around, but they not my kind I came from cold nights, now the stars all mine I was runnin’ through the dark, now I see the sunshine They ain’t never show me love ‘til they seen me on grind Now they tryna come around, but they not my kind [Verse 2] Grew up on the block where the sirens sing Every day felt like war, it’s a violent thing I was postin’ on the corner with a diamond dream Tryna ball like the league, not behind that beam Had to cut off some friends, they was fake for real Talk tough, but they never had faith for real Only trust in my blood, that’s my gang for real And this Glock never jam, it’s gon’ bang for real Yeah, I’m blessed now, but the pain still creep Nightmares in my head don’t let me sleep I been swimmin’ in the deep, but I can’t get weak Every scar that I got made me stand on feet I came from cold nights, now the stars all mine I was runnin’ through the dark, now I see the sunshine They ain’t never show me love ‘til they seen me on grind Now they tryna come around, but they not my kind I came from cold nights, now the stars all mine I was runnin’ through the dark, now I see the sunshine They ain’t never show me love ‘til they seen me on grind Now they tryna come around, but they not my kind [Outro] Yeah… I came a long way… from them cold nights… And I ain’t never goin’ back…
