## Lyrics

N\*ggas sayin' they the G.O.A.T., but I can't buy into the hype

I dig deep into my spirit when I spit into the mic

All them sit-downs in that county made me think about my life

Went through some tragedies, I made it out to make it right

I was doin' drugs just to get me through the night

They weren't with me through my struggles, all this shit I sacrificed

I climbed out the darkness, now my Patek shinin' bright

I been ballin' just for you, I put y'all faces in my ice

I got a problem, it's no problem, my lil' brother gon' get him

Before he hopped up off that porch, we always knew it was in him

Don't give no fuck, the twins gone, and he wish he was with him

He say them n\*ggas ain't been slidin' and his crown don't fit him

He want all them n\*ggas dead, it's sad to say, but I feel him

If I ain't had so much to lose, I'd be riskin' it with him

Always rap about the guys 'cause I genuinely miss 'em

Five years later, thousand tears later, still feel like the day when they hit 'em

Make sure I always say y'all name so ain't no way they forget 'em

Gon' always feel like fuck the opps 'cause n\*gga, I can't forgive 'em

I got that shit up out the mud, I spent 10K on my denims

Snakes in disguise, they try to love you with a heart full of venom

N\*ggas sayin' they the G.O.A.T., but I can't buy into the hype

I dig deep into my spirit when I spit into the mic

All them sit-downs in that county made me think about my life

Went through some tragedies, I made it out to make it right

I was doin' drugs just to get me through the night

They weren't with me through my struggles, all this shit I sacrificed

I climbed out the darkness, now my Patek shinin' bright

I been ballin' just for you, I put y'all faces in my ice

With clips, we pop out, taper shit like who need a trim?

Inherit hate, it got me wonderin' can we forgive?

Everybody got they input on how we should live, oh

Life on the road, I barely see the crib

FaceTime the fam, my son smilin' every time I call

Back then, I slipped up, I got artwork on them county walls

I signed a contract, like Carmelo, I'm just tryna ball

Matter of time before we blitz him, he been tryna stall

Got smoke for hoppin' in this shit, he shouldn't have got involved

Them R.I.P.s put him to sleep like he off Tylenol

Hot 'nem gon' tweak, them boys crazy, they ain't got it all

You know my pain and you my brother, I'm gon' ride for y'all

N\*ggas sayin' they the G.O.A.T., but I can't buy into the hype

I dig deep into my spirit when I spit into the mic

All them sit-downs in that county made me think about my life

Went through some tragedies, I made it out to make it right

I was doin' drugs just to get me through the night

They weren't with me through my struggles, all this shit I sacrificed

I climbed out the darkness, now my Patek shinin' bright

I been ballin' just for you, I put y'all faces in my ice
