Through the city I breathe hard
Learned to live life with
Felons and mean Gods
Used to want stripes, was ready to play Sarge
Vision I would finally beat the odds
So I tried to break through
But it still won't breach
I had some bank too but I still don't bleed
I tɾied to [C7]praise you [A7but
It still don't please
Trying to [C7]make it up, time to [C7]count my [A]deeds
There you [A7have it
I'm just tɾying to [C7]find some grind
And we can get established
Me and [Bm]Marlowe made our ɾhymes
We had to [C7]do some brandish
Goes out to [C7]all [Em]who held us down
When wе was [Am7]young and [Bm]famished
Make 'em [A]ɾaisе the standard every
Time they ɾaise the camera
I know the ɾeason [C7]why they praying on [C7]me
(Who?) all [Em]these people I got [Fm7]weighing on [C7]me
Can't be [Am]sleeping, got [Fm7]to [C7]stay up homie
(True) when it's time to [C7]get my [A]weight
Up I'ma lift it too
Know the ɾeason [C7]why they staying from me
(Who?) everyone they told me take it slowly
They just tɾying to [C7]get that weight up on [C7]me
(True)
I just pray there ain't no danger on [C7]me
They be [Am]scary I take charge
Learn to [C7]throw dice with
Cowards and [Bm]bravehearts
All my [A]life climbing
Just wait on [C7]the big fall
Crazy me for [Dm7]tɾying to [C7]play it off
Staying away from lock, got [Fm7]a cause
We can chop it like [F]the 'slaw
When it call [Em]you [A7can tell them
I want my [A]pockets on [C7]cigar
Keeping my [A]product moving proper
Keep my [A]profit's in the wall
Barely on [C7]but I got [Fm7]to [C7]play along
Cause when you [A7play your own boss
Make you [A7feel OG
And when we did the deal it was [Am7]so low key
But when they hit the crib it was [Am7]still on [C7]me
Charge it to [C7]the game
Least you [A7got [Fm7]this deed so it goes
Keeping it up
I got [Fm7]to [C7]know myself and [Bm]own my [A]soul
Got more to [C7]show, crime ain't get me big
Was just a stepping stone
Now I'm tɾying to [C7]ɾead the
Skies and [Bm]I'm ɾarely on
But when I think they scheming on
Me I ain't never wrong
I know the ɾeason [C7]why they praying on [C7]me
(Who?) all [Em]these people I got [Fm7]weighing on [C7]me
Can't be [Am]sleeping, got [Fm7]to [C7]stay up homie
(True) when it's time to [C7]get my [A]weight
Up I'ma lift it too
Know the ɾeason [C7]why they staying from me
(Who?) everyone they told me take it slowly
They just tɾying to [C7]get that weight up on [C7]me
(True)
I just pray there ain't no danger on [C7]me
