Lyrics

[Intro]

Project babies

Raised on warning shots

Old heads hold the block

We the ones they said would drop (ha)

[Verse 1]

Roaches in the cabinet

Cable stealing, static snow

Unc’ was serving in the hallway

Mama praying I don’t go

Hand-me-downs, three sizes off

But I still wore it like a king

OG taught me “close ya mouth

Move smart, let actions sing”

Corner store for loose squares

Change counted, every cent

He said “don’t die over pride

Die for purpose, die for sense” (yeah)

[Chorus]

This for project babies, OG’s, and the ones that ain’t fold

All the black men living with a target on they soul

We ain’t flexing, we surviving, we providing grip the road

This that real life anthem

This that real life code

This for project babies, OG’s, and the ones that ain’t break

All the black men trying just to heal from what they take

We ain’t bragging, we just breathing, we still carrying the weight

This that real life anthem

We still here, we still great (still great)

[Verse 2]

Daddy called from prison yard

Phone buzzing, hollow tone

Told me “be the one who break it

Don’t let chains make your home”

Coach wrote letters, kept me straight

Kept a ball up in my hands

Said “the system built a trap

So you gotta build a plan”

Funeral suit at fourteen

Too familiar with that church

Preacher talking about the light

But we standing in the dirt (uh)

[Chorus]

This for project babies, OG’s, and the ones that ain’t fold

All the black men living with a target on they soul

We ain’t flexing, we surviving, we providing grip the road

This that real life anthem

This that real life code

This for project babies, OG’s, and the ones that ain’t break

All the black men trying just to heal from what they take

We ain’t bragging, we just breathing, we still carrying the weight

This that real life anthem

We still here, we still great

[Bridge]

Head up

Even when they push ya head down (head down)

Love tough

Still we hold each other when it goes down (goes down)

Stand up

For the ones who never made it out the playground

Hands up

If you made it through the breakdown (yeah)

[Chorus]

This for project babies, OG’s, and the ones that ain’t fold

All the black men living with a target on they soul

We ain’t flexing, we surviving, we providing grip the road

This that real life anthem

This that real life code

This for project babies, OG’s, and the ones that ain’t break

All the black men trying just to heal from what they take

We ain’t bragging, we just breathing, we still carrying the weight

This that real life anthem

We still here, we still great (still great)
