## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Chorus: Sevin, LaToiya Williams]

These kids won't gonna [?]

'Cause we live with Georgia scene

It's my turn if you're wondering

It's been the moment coming

[Verse 1: Glasses Malone]

I wait hard for the shit, had to flow without the script

Starve for this shit, days I go without a meal

And [?] while I roll without a steal

Fuck that, I'll be dead before I go without a deal, n\*\*\*a

So hard to begin, start slanging, quit jobs, to go hard with the pen

All the cyphers that I had, music [?]

Websites and magazines, I had the articles in

And the mixtape I sold to motherfuckers that laugh

Same motherfuckers feelin' it, now want me collapse

To n\*\*\*as disrespecting like they wanting a scrap or face to face

Pussy n\*\*\*as not going to jail 'cause it's like you tryin' to sign me but the paper was low

And you haters who don't really want my paper to grow

God blessing to my fam, kept me able to blow

So raise the bottle to the [?] single [?]

[Chorus: Sevin, LaToiya Williams]

I come from the curb like peasants I've been learn life lessons

It's time for y'all to seat back and observe my essence

It is what it is, you can't blur my message

I've been turnt to forgive, I deserve my blessings

These kids won't gonna [?]

'Cause we live with Georgia scene

It's my turn if you're wondering

It's been the moment coming

[Verse 2: Kam]

We came up the gutter way

But motherfuckers stay neglected and ignored

Lord thank you for another day, and I just pray to give us the strength

To keep living righteous and giving that one tempt

You ain't blessed us just to blow but every G stack I know

It's just the test though to see how we act

It's a fact that without you we couldn't make it crack

And show as you gave it to us, you can take it back

So please, just keep us all humble 'cause I ain't try to crawl till I ball just to have it all crumble

Some go insane off just money and fame but the truth stay the same, whether sunny or rain

I came into the game tell the n\*\*\*as what I'm knowing about

Never been a lame, that's how I'm going out

So all my Gs barking trees up and toast your [?]

And this is how is supposed to do

[Chorus: Sevin, LaToiya Williams]

I come from the curb like peasants I'm a learn life lessons

It's time for y'all to seat back and observe my essence

It is what it is, you can't blur my message

I've been turned to forgive, I deserve my blessings

These kids won't gonna [?]

'Cause we live with Georgia scene

It's my turn if you're wondering

It's been the moment coming

[Bridge: Wyclef Jean]

I've got the darkness, that's when the sun comes out

Just when it looks like the door is closing, I swear another opens

Sunshine

You shine, I'll shine, they'll all shine

[Verse 3: Lupe Fiasco]

Man, Lu, how you're getting grace

Go [?] with the calculated face

It's fifty dollars, I'm just tryin' give them pace, tryin' give 'em patience, tryin' teach 'em wait

They show you how to squander, I'll show you how to save

They show you how to Bentley, I'll show you how to skate

They show you neighborhood, I'll show you out of space

Yeah, yeah

They show you how to disrespect 'em, I show you how to date

The Victoria Secret model, oh baby that's your base

A thinker is the biggest gangsta, one twenty in the [?] better than 380 at the waist

Tryin keepin' real, get Chilly out his case

Start up Trilly, get the crooks all straight

Yeah, and then do somethin' hard like take half my fortune and give it to God

[Chorus: Sevin, LaToiya Williams]

I come from the curb like peasants I'm a learn life lessons

It's time for y'all to seat back and observe my lessons

It is what it is, you can't blur my message

I've been turned to forgive, I deserve my blessings

I come from the curb like peasants I'm a learn life lessons

It's time for y'all to seat back and observe my essence

It is what it is, you can't blur my message

I've been turned to forgive, I deserve my blessings

These kids won't gonna [?]

'Cause we live with Georgia scene

It's my turn if you're wondering

It's been the moment coming
