Hey my baby boy
 (La da da da da da da da da)
 Happy happy birthday
 I know you're busy
 But I'm just reminding you
 (Gotta find my bliss)
 That you are loved and cared for
 Than you know
 Enjoy your day
 (93-17 gotta find my bliss)
 And remember
 With God on your side
 (Once your wings spread, gotta find yo cliff)
 No weapon formed against you will prosper
 (Momma told me days, they'd be like this)
 I love you baby
 Happy happy birthday
 (They'll be like this)
 Bye Bye
 (You gotta find yo cliff)
 She couldn't teach me how to save
 She worked and went to school too
 Like every other day
 Every check that she'd get
 She gave it away
 To Bills, to food, and to us too
 Damn, you kept us safe
 I appreciate your off days
 You always kept a smile
 We would lay in the grass
 Get lost in the clouds
 I guess it's my birthday
 Might as well reminisce
 When I was 7
 Told you
 I wanted to be
 A Veterinarian
 To save this planet
 And every living thing
 It's funny how things change
 Now I'm saving us
 In my hometown
 In different ways
 Tryna build a park
 So the kids can have a place
 And not be like us
 I wonder where we went left
 Maybe it was grandma passing
 That made me go deaf
 And only hear war
 And feel hate in my left breast
 Or maybe crooked cops
 Who squeezed
 Till it ain't nun left
 Or maybe landlords
 Who kicked us out on Christmas
 Seeing dead bodies
 I wished I never witnessed
 Made me so numb
 Please Lord can you forgive me?
 I'm selling poison
 Tryna afford
 Shit on my wish list
 Tryna be fly
 Like other kids
 Who was privileged
 So I got high
 To pass time
 With some killas
 Listening to stories
 Of glory
 With gory business
 I never seen a mall
 Till I was grown
 Are you with me?
 The only outlet we had was music
 And some bitches
 9 times outta 10
 She'd cheat
 Just for a feeling
 The funny thing is
 We kept it moving
 Dog, just forget it
 Tryna do a sport
 Favoritism
 Left us shitty
 Principle
 Told me I was nothing
 I'm like really?
 Where your principles
 When school
 Abuse all your senses
 I never saw a future
 Ciara
 With the Wilson's
 I never heard the truth
 Had to research it
 Just to get it
 The system
 Oh so brilliant
 (Uh)
 93-17 gotta find yo bliss
 (Momma didn't tell me it would be like this)
 Take ya time
 And realize
 You looking into the eyes
 Of a g
 And real lies in time
 Not in an enemy
 But if I fall
 To my demise
 Don't cry
 The casket
 Is where
 Most realize
 Where real lies
 (Why momma didn't tell me it would be like this?)
 Boone
 She couldn't teach me
 How to be a man
 Never really mentioned
 That pops had different plans
 (Oh well)
 Never begged for his love
 What the fuck
 Would it look like?
 (Huh?)
 Faking this funk
 I been hurt
 I been outworked
 I been down
 (Word)
 But I been crowned
 North Carolina's Only Hope
 (Yerp)
 Dropped Float
 For my niggas
 That was drowning
 In the street flow
 Stuck to the g-code
 Never change
 Was the slogan
 But I'm mo'
 Different that befo'
 93-17
 Bank account on swole
 Suited up
 Business meetings
 4-5 on the low
 Gah damn
 Will I change?
 Pain
 Gain
 In my mindset
 Painting beautiful pictures
 Of poverty
 Lately
 My canvas been blank
 Art of war
 Mixed
 With this rising crime rate
 (Uh)
 Where I stay
 It ain't safe
 Don't pump ya brakes
 (Please don't)
 Just runaway
 Stray Bullets Penetrate
 Or Ricochet
 Don't let em demonstrate
 The way
 (Uh)
 Lead can change
 (Uh)
 Ya whole day
 Momma told me
 They'd be days
 Like this
 (Uh-huh)
 93-17
 Gotta find my bliss
 (Find It)
 Wings spreaded in this bitch
 Bout to find my cliff
 (I'm bout to)
 Fly high
 Above the lies
 Watch me rise
 While you die
 Fuck ya life
 Why you try?
 Fuck nigga just watch
 (Fuck nigga just watch)
 Fuck nigga just watch
 (Watch)
 Momma told me
 They'd be days
 Like this
