In the Rolls truck, waitin' for the light change Thinking damn, I came from the bottom, look how my life changed And all I did was write pain But I'm still runnin' the streets, line the hope one day I might change My road through the trenches wasn't the cleanest I know I ain't perfect, I lied and I cheated I know some of the shit I was doin' was too egregious Told my girl, "I apologize", this time, I mean it You know I got a good heart, yo, you seen it Look at all the niggas I look out for, people I'm feedin' Yeah, I had a son a lil' while after And when he died, know it was hard for you to smile after While all that was goin' on, I had a child after So how the fuck I'm 'posed to be a proud rapper? Story of my life, shit got wild chapters I'm so fried all day On my grind always Seen some foul, foul times In this wild, wild life And I ain't even trippin', no Since the world we live in is so cold Uh, been dealing and sinning from the beginning Do whatever it take to make double profit percentage From the stoops and the benches to 'partment project with fences Shit, we out just tryna get up out the trenches Elevate your comprehension, consolidate your vision If you were born to stand out, you wasn't meant to fit in Remember car too clean to let a sucka sit in This trap music shit mad, show you how it began In every loss, you find a lesson, make a life investment But at the end man live a trap life, the shit these rap niggas act like See, I know how it feel to be behind the wheel With a trunk full of dope, blue lights in the mirror License and insurance, give it to 'em chill You either play this shit perfect or you go to jail From hopin' I ain't got no warrants to Florence, Italy tourin' Machine and the King, from Bankhead beyond God damn I'm so fried all day On my grind always Seen some foul, foul times In this wild, wild life And I ain't even trippin', no Since the world we live in is so cold And I ain't even trippin', no Since the world we live in is so cold Put it all on the line, just a sign of the times Try to keep peace of mind, it's a flaw by design Pray to God to keep my sister alive Down the Hennessy to keep the memories from fallin' out of my eyes I seen some wild chapters, dealt with grief in all stages Turnin' all the pages, deeper than Neil Gaiman The world is in a hurry, it's hard to instill patience We due for reparations and niggas is still waitin' I sit in silence, lookin' for silver linings I feel like Robin Williams, laughin' to keep from cryin' You'd understand too, if you only stood where I am On the hills of Jerusalem, in the city of Zion I'm so fried all day On my grind always Seen some foul, foul times In this wild, wild life And I ain't even trippin', no Since the world we live in is so cold (Cold, so cold, so cold)
