I used to listen to Drake a lot, when I was a jit.
Rest in peace, Mac Miller.
I used to listen to a lot of his music.
I wasn't really into none of that gangsta rap when I was a little boy.
I still ain't, you feel me?
I be having to bump Drake
Somehow, somewhere, God just sent the beat to me.
I seen it on Instagram, on somebody's own profile.
I guess they promoting it for him.
And right when I heard it, I'm like, "Whoa.
I gotta rap on more of DeCicco beats.”
Ain't nobody else like me.
You feel me?
That’s how I be feeling.
Ain't nobody else as real is me, ain't nobody gon keep it G like me.
Basically, this song about finding yourself, and not letting the street determine who you is.
Your very first time tasting beer, you probably like, "Uh, what is this?".
First time I'm trying to dive into a little love, bro, heart getting broken.
And I ain't talkin bout love with a female, I'm talking about love period.
People you close to, people you trust, they're the ones who'll do you the dirtiest.
I got one angel telling me, "Let's go, we finna go far with this rap shit."
And I got demons telling me, "Woot, woot!"
That mean we just strapped up, big time.
The way we living, you feel me, you gotta protect yourself, cause niggas want it.
I done seen so much already in so little time.
It's like I already peeped how everybody finna be acting.
That ain't even you.
Why not be you?
It's easier to be you.
The warning.
That basically what it is, like a warning.
You want to be a thug, what’s the next plan?
How you finna get money?
How your people finna eat?
What’s the bigger picture to all that?
That’s what I’m trying to say.
That’s what I’m trying to make them see.
That’s the name of my gang, it's the name of my team.
She ain't really diggin me, she just diggin the lifestyle.
I probably signed like one application, but when I was younger, that was the last thing
I was thinking about, getting a job.
I always knew I can't just be like, nobody normal, just sitting around on the block.
I always tell myself three years from now I gotta be somewhere else.
I had to switch em up, 'cause you know Nas be talking that knowledge.
I had to let em know on this song, I was just being straight knowledge.
I wasn't even in my Soldier Kidd phase.
People be thinking I'm from Broward and stuff like that.
Or Miami, you feel me?
Everybody always forgets Palm Beach.
It ain't really nobody who made it out of there, you feel me?
People always askin, always tellin, I'm the closest thing to it.
