[Intro]
Yeah
OGs can't save ya
I come from a place where OGs can't save ya
Yeah, ain't nobody safe
Oh (They can't save ya)
[Chorus]
I come from a place where OGs can't save ya
All of my niggas in the cell or in the graveyard
Ice on my neck, this shit shine even in the dark
Tell me do you love me for me? I gotta make sure
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause yeah, you took my heart and ran with it, I can't chase ya
Don't interrupt me like Kanye did Taylor
And if he play, I'ma send that boy to meet his maker
She said I came around wrong time like Mother Nature
My nieces and nephews the reason that I ain't gave up
Gave my mama ten thou' but I don't brag about that stuff
I done took care all your people and I never brung it up
Walked in the store and if you want it then told 'em, "Ring it up"
[Refrain]
Mama said, "Don't bring home no children"
Been preachin' the same thing since a lil' man, uh-huh
Mama said she ain't want no friends in this house
That it ain't no chill spot, but you know we still chillin'
[Verse]
All of this pain helped me change, now it's ok (Now it's ok)
I did what they tryna do, the G.O.A.T way
I don't like to talk, like I got a tooth ache
Prayin' in a dark room, now I'm seein' brighter days
Where I'm from, everybody wanna be the best
Where I'm from, no lie, them niggas fightin' for respect
Where I'm from, everybody divided
No daddy in the household, they misguided
But I ain't the one who finna sit here and be preachin' to ya
My brother Ben hit the bitch, I guess he beat me to her
[?] my brother, that's my young bull
Hello baby, bonjour, she wan' me to say something to her
I'm finna turn nineteen, but you know I been mature
Pocket like a healthy baby, your's lookin' premature
Feel my pain, I got range
Shoot this bitch from center court
Niggas think that they gon' get a trophy without workin' for it
See, I just be writing portraits, I don't write no verses, chorus
I just be writing portraits, I don't write no verses, chorus
They show love when I walk in the building
You know you fake, why you claimin' that you real 'den? Uh-huh
Granny told me to pray, I took a kneel then
Takin' painkillers, they find [?] in that pill man, uh-huh
They show love when I walk in the building
You know you fake, why you claimin' that you real 'den? Uh-huh
[Chorus]
'Cause I come from a place where OGs can't save ya
All of my niggas in the cell or in the graveyard
Ice on my neck, this shit shine even in the dark
Tell me do you love me for me? I gotta make sure
[Refrain]
My mama said, "Don't bring home no children"
Been preachin' the same thing since a lil' man, uh-huh
Mama said she ain't want my friends in this house
It ain't no chill spot, but you know we still chillin', uh-huh1
