[Intro]
Yeah
This my favorite Alicia Keys song of all time
[Verse 1]
Posted on the block [?] on a building
Playin’ sideline [?] we was only children
Never scared to get caught, we was only stealing
Couple years later, stealing turned to killing
Ship my niggas off to prison, big white business
Rich niggas got no business with white bitches
Bitch niggas take the stand and bear witness
Raised his hand and switched on his man he was wit the quickness
We came farther still going against the odds
From young niggas lifting weights in the garage
We always stand out, no camouflage
Get money, til the day a nigga meet God
Broke nigga type to pass up on a good job
Bitch nigga you the lion from Wizard of Oz
Homie had too much pride, they sent him to God
Livin life like [?], should’ve been [?]
[Interlude]
Okay, uh
[Verse 2]
I park the Audi S4 and indulge in the smoke
Summertime on the beach, watch the fight on the boat
I ain’t looking for no beef, got the heat on the low
And no safety, you know that I keep it on go
I stay heated, the city they keeping it cold
Be easy, you know that you reap what you sow
So what’s the topic of yo conversation, nigga?
My conversation is demonstration, nigga
I hate waiting, I get impatient, nigga
A real boss, I had to start and make shit
I’m the type to grind all day and work the grave shift
Straight out the belly of the beast, where most niggas won’t make it
[Outro]
