I was a young ^!$$% born and raised, south side of the shop
No silver linings, all we ever saw was cloudy skies
Couple death, plenty lies, platinum dreams, tarnished lives

Diamonds are forever so why them karats expire
Like a couple homies, I had around a way
Rip to my ^!$$% christian, listen to this day

Used to put work with the hoes, no resume
Then I resumed to the cash, after he passed away
Tried to say, life goes on, but for me it never did

Remember ? on my mirror, life can't be any clearer
I was destined for the greatness, I feel B.i.g.
See I used to barely sleep

How the hell did I dream, of one mike, and a stage
Magazines front page, 2pac, 2 chainz
When they know me by name

Couple hoes in the crowd, all screaming my name
No anticorps involved, and I know I got fame

Chillin reminiscin on, on my past days
Throw it up for my ^!$$%s as they passin round the haze

Rip to the ones whose dream stayed away
Pour some liquor out, this is how we spendin summer days
Chillin reminiscin on, on my past days

Chillin reminiscin on, on my past days
Chillin reminiscin on, on my past days
Throw it up for my ^!$$%s as they passin round the haze


This one for my ^!$$%s who locked down in the pen
24/7 facin the bed, a 5 to 10

Hold your head kid, I'ma hold it down ahead for you
Should've stuck when I first?some doctors or some lawyers
But the street %#@! contageous,

Afuera is outrageous, our good streets on the days
Make you feel like you in vegas
But it's cool oh, everybody knows that these players $#&@ up

Sometimes these grey clouds make me wonder if my luck's up
I look up, sit back and wonder where my ^!$$%s at
Some of them god kids, rip to ones layin on they back

This that summer madness, every chicagonian know about
Know that ^!$$% shootin, but we going out cause hoes is out
And that be the downfall, chasin at the skirts

All up in the wrong hood, not worrying if we get hurt
Disregard what mom said and I told her she was trippin
Hope I don't get caught slippin, putting keys into ignition

It was all about the benjamins until I had a ^!$$% dream

Only time I rode in limousines was after eulogies
Now it's thug genesis, I guess I'm startin fresh
Feelin like the messiah, plannin to lead my parents

To the best livin, take a picture, workin with the neck and tears
Every life lesson I treat it like preserve ?
Born to shine ^!$$% and living was conservative

But when it came to sets, I was ?i got it in
Runnin round with all my friends, catchin all our memories
Shots rang out, we was in the grass up behind trees

Couple years later, we was blowin on the same trees
Sour dies, og, smoke ?no 6 no seeds
