I'm a living little good thing (yeah)
 It's like you never lived for me, yeah
 Mama said you was a good thing, uh
 
 Good, good, good, yeah
 Yeah
 We came a long way, man, we done came a long way
 ♪
 And we sitting on top of this shit
 This shit can go one or two ways
 This shit can go up, it can go down
 
 Either way, nigga, I'm prepared
 Feel me? Yeah
 I be coming in peace, but fuck me
 Best beware the others
 This shit deep, undercovers creep
 This Southern heat make unbearable summers
 Just last week, seen yo' mama weep
 Crying 'cause she don't want bury your brother
 The blood leaks while the EMTs gotta carry her baby like surrogate mothers
 Whoa, thank God we survived around where the terrorists hovered
 Though traumatized, wouldn't trade it for nothing
 Through hard times, it was there I discovered
 A hustle and making the best out the struggle
 I kept grinding 'til this day, up a level
 Respect mine, gotta stay out of trouble
 'Cause TEC-9s like to air out rebuttals
 Cole World, niggas knowing what it is
 Just in case they don't, I show 'em what it is
 Then summer, I do real numbers
 Couldn't dare touch it if they sold the double disc
 Block hot, niggas burning up the street
 Shots popping and we heard it up the street
 It's a war, niggas running up the score
 Jesus said that you should turn the other cheek
 Was his niggas getting murdered e'ry week?
 Dead bodies, smell the odor in the street
 My homie' homie got out on parole
 He sold more Coca-Cola than the soda industry
 Summertime bring the coldest winter breeze
 Hella blues like the Rollin' 60s
 Christ went to Heaven age 33
 And so did Pimp C, and so did Nipsey
 ♪
 I told you, I told you
 ♪
 This shit can go up, it can go down, I don't give a fuck
 Nigga, I done seen the highest heights
 I done seen it twice
 And I've seen the lowest of the lows
 And still I rose
 
 Now I'm at your neck, nigga, yeah
