Deep Reverence

[00:07.91] Hit-Boy
[00:09.08] G. Ry got me
[00:11.64]
[00:18.82] Look
[00:20.04] Fuck rap, I'm a street legend
[00:22.03] Block love me with a deep reverence
[00:24.29] I was birthed in a C-section
[00:25.76] Hella cops and police presence
[00:27.89] We got opps so we keep weapons
[00:29.75] We on y'all block while y'all eat breakfast
[00:31.79] A lot of shots, we broke street records
[00:33.77] Watch how you talk, I got reflexes
[00:35.59] Watchin' your cheap necklace
[00:37.08] Then we slide out the East exit
[00:39.00] But every time we get to fuckin' niggas up, TMZ catch it
[00:42.43] Yeah, I still learn the street lessons from the mastermind
[00:45.18] First you master grind, then your team catch it
[00:47.56] This time is for the money, I don't need credit
[00:49.96] But I'm the don 'cause the streets said it, look
[00:53.51] Fuck rap, I'm a street legend
[00:55.84] But I'm the don 'cause the streets said it
[00:58.62] Block love me with a deep reverence (Yeah, woah)
[01:00.97] But I'm the don 'cause the streets said it (Yeah)
[01:03.51] And I got pressure on me
[01:05.26] Seven days a week, it's game seven on me
[01:07.58] Life'll test you out, you live through that, that's testimony
[01:10.33] Givin' them hell, but how in the hell I got all these blessings on me?
[01:12.79] Most of the girls I know addicted to social media
[01:15.36] All the time they put in, they could've wrote encyclopedias
[01:17.77] Mama said it only takes one time to fuck up your whole Wikipedia
[01:21.22] And as your son, I can see the type of light that you see me in
[01:24.08] After what happened to Nipsey, I reached out to Kendrick
[01:26.67] It wasn't even no real issues there to begin with
[01:29.09] Lack of communication and wrong information
[01:31.21] From people fueled by their ego, it's like mixin' flames with diesel
[01:34.51] Energy crazy, I realized that it's a two-way street
[01:36.82] What's comin' is goin', if it don't give you more, it drains you
[01:39.70] Should be a billionaire based on the time off I'm not takin'
[01:42.06] Probably why the shit with me get crazy and we lost a baby
[01:45.02] And everybody around me think I'm the one
[01:46.83] But we all just one of ones
[01:48.25] And I'm walkin' out the crib, they ask me where I'm goin'
[01:50.30] I told them, "I'm goin on another ten year run"
[01:51.81] Niggas is bangin' over blocks that they don't own
[01:53.94] Thinkin' that's home
[01:54.51] Boy, you think that's where you from?
[01:56.05] You don't really know where you from
[01:57.32] You don't how deep your roots is or what your ancestors had done
[02:00.07] So, God bless all of the sons and daughters
[02:02.11] Who knew they histories so they knew where to take it farther
[02:04.63] And all the ones that stuck with me like good barbers
[02:07.22] Lookin' at my life story, God's a good author
[02:09.94] Never was the loudest in the room, we move like ninjas
[02:12.62] And if it cost your peace of mind, it might be too expensive
[02:15.04] So I can't give you everything that you want from me for free though
[02:18.08] Get you one shot in life, you might not be able to reload
[02:21.30] So advanced, I need all my advances
[02:23.28] Bro hit me up for cash like we didn't have the same chances
[02:25.79] My dad hit me up like, "Why I don't live in a mansion?"
[02:28.25] I'm tryna focus, but baby girl keep holdin' my mind for ransom
[02:31.04] And that ain't how it supposed to be, this man Hov got to a B
[02:33.79] And his name Shawn too, I almost felt like it was me
[02:36.35] Damn, I realized all my setbacks were inside of me
[02:39.01] In high school I learned chemistry, biology
[02:41.09] But not how to cope with anxiety
[02:43.05] Or how I could feel like I'm by myself on an isaland
[02:45.22] With depression on all sides of me (Damn)
[02:47.62] With a Glock .17 right on the side of me (Hol' up)
[02:50.04] Look, I ain't think I had the thought of suicide in me
[02:52.68] Until life showed me all these different sides of me
[02:54.75] Too many times I thought the reaper was outside for me
[02:57.18] And how the fuck it's people that never met me that hate me?
[02:59.74] I wonder if they understand that I meditate daily
[03:02.44] And feel like my life purpose is to give inspiration
[03:05.19] Despite the hit songs that there's just no escapin'
[03:07.29] That I take care of my family and beat the odds that were deadly
[03:10.25] You hate that, that just reflects your lack of succession, bless 'em
[03:13.55] If it ain't Nipsey blue, it's Detroit blue
[03:15.42] This that Detroit 2, I'm bringin' it back to the hood like D-Boys do
[03:18.04] Gone
[03:20.26] So, the collaboration though, with Nipsey and who?
[03:22.95] Aw man, I'd probably say Payroll, look, or Tee Grizzley
[03:25.76] Me and Big Sean talked about doin' somethin' recently, too
[03:27.81] So, you know, all of them, I'ma, I'ma tap in with all of Detroit
[03:32.76] Fuck rap, I'm a street legend
[03:37.71] Block love me with a deep reverence
[03:39.93]
