[Intro: G-Herbo]
Being a... A gangster or whatever don't make you a G
Y’know I'm sayin... A G is somebody that's a leader...
It’s a lot that come with being a G y'know?
And I feel like, it's living by- it's
It's dying by whatever you live by...
Y'know I'm sayin, you show me what you love
I'll show you what you sacrifice...
[Verse: Jari$]
Who would’ve thought it?
The dude who got it came up from the "nonprofits"
They told me stop it but know that I got the knowledge
Your homie ain’t a star, just someone we know in common
M up on they streams but can't sell out they garage
You n***as go for the bait, but I see that shit a mirage
They don’t see between the lines, thе blind leading the blind
Nevеr see the way they movin' the reason they all behind
I'm the - M.I.P. ain't no question, fuck your debate
I stepped up to the plate while you stuck in your own way
I just had to fallback to see how everything would play
Clutchin’ in the corner you woulda thought that I was Ray
Results be clear as day with the way I got it on lock
This be the cream of the crop, I told y'all that I couldn't stop
Rockin' every beat cause boy I'm bringin' the heat
Dropped like every week, but y'all say that I barely speak
I really never see what y'all rap about on these beats
Just a bunch of nice people but that's good, be who you be
Currently, back on my bullshit for people who think it's sweet
Dropped three tapes all back-to-back boy I'm up on a hot streak
I'm the - best rapper out my city that starts with the tenth letter
You could check my resume for the people who think they better
Hugh Hefner with the music these bitches is all influenced
Still the truest just to do it and stayed real through all the bullshit
In the groove nobody could really stop me
I got some attitude but know that I'm never cocky
And shit, these past years I've been collecting my mind
I said it was mine way before I started this grind
That was back in Trenchtown, I'm talkin' like '09
Went from rappin' on the block, now they sayin' like "Oh my"
Went from just another kid to really being that guy
Went from bein' down and out to "everything is just fine"
This shit has been cemented, oh you thinkin' I won't get it?
Tell that to the last sucka who tried to send me a message
Talkin' bout "You so trash, this shit is ass, it's really wack"
But took the time outta your day to go and just play it back?
So please tell me, who the fuck could run the game?
Got some hittas offa Thizzler, but we ain't runnin' the same
This is, such a shame, a lotta talent come with the name
I'll throw you halfway out the window so you stuck in all the pain
Told me to brush it off, I never cared for a moment
My music is here forever, I'ma die as a poet
Sharin' names upon release, I gotta let producers eat
Cause I know how hard it be when you barely would even speak
Whether it be up on lives or interviews when we meet
Give respect whenever due it don't matter you from the streets
Burnin' like a flame I'm feelin' so unchained
No deal under my name so homie I can't complain
Woke up with the sun out, birds chirpin' it's time to pray
Nobody shootin' or blastin' I made it another day
I write my shit and smoke, maybe burn a little sage
Balance out my chakras just to get through all the haze
Everybody wanna take when they ain't even finish they plate
Everybody want some food but they never ask if I ate
Everybody want some love but steady showin' the hate
Everybody wanna shine but they always throwin' some shade
It's - insane, the way y'all lack accountability
For all your damn actions like people lost all they memory
It's so belittling to know you got the talent
But people discredit that, with all the shit that you rappin'
They just think your shit a lie in everything, you be cappin'
When in reality you talkin' bout all the shit that had happened
These verses I be slappin', just know that I'm not actin'
Cause I ain't never step down to anybody tryna get it crackin'
[Outro: G-Herbo]
Standing on what you believe in
Taking care of what you believe in by any means...
That's being a G...
