Graduated college while ya niccaz been in prison/
Seen the dark days but my nicca keep on breathing/
I felt all ya pain, I felt all ya rage/
And every time you wrote a rhyme it was clear/
I put my heart & soul when I’m making these songs/
Everyday I stay grinding still improving the art/
I stay true to myself, I ain’t moving the charts/
They say, you ain’t never make it if you moving like that/
Now always keep ya head boy cause I can lose you in it/
Validating all your life through these F@ckin critics/
Tryin to blast ya brains, nah! Nicca better listen/
You a better man now, you the one that did it/
