What Would I Be

(album: Black Einstein - 2014)

What I would I be without... my niggas?
What I would I be without... my team, my team?
What I would I be without... my niggas?
What I would I be without... my team, my team?

Reminiscing on the times I was skipping school
But not to be a rebel but to go to record
'Coz if I keep working hard I could open them doors
All the girls knew I rapped so they noticed me more
It's hard to look fresh when you broke and you poor
So I started throwing parties with myself to perform hah
Me and young we're runnin round the city
Half the day in the lab of the hab chasin skitties
Now since the pipe days I gotta bring you with me
Threw my homie in the center screen and free my nigga Jimmy
Plenty of times I could've gave up
Or changed up but hey bro that ain't how I came up
Riding for my squidy 'coz we fighting for the same stuff
It's understood, don't gotta be explained, don't say much
What's meant to be will be so you can't rush
Won't let this fame change us, nah that ain't us

What I would I be without... my niggas?
What I would I be without... my team, my team?
What I would I be without... my niggas?
What I would I be without... my team, my team?

It's hard when 1-65 in the city where the skinny niggas die
So I gain 15 'coz I had big dreams
So quit actin friendly, you can envy on the side
I'm just tryna get up out the odds
And ain't got no hits to click
Runnin militant but mindset is still diligent
Ain't no conversation, fly nation gotta deal with it
Came in here to take it over, think I'm on a pilgrimage
Killing with the same hoes that I always been with
Used to dream I had them things I'm living, my vision
Came to life and now it's time to get it, terrific
Ain't it nice how I paint the image? So vivid, won't quit it
Screaming 3's up 'til they ease up
In it for yo'self dreamin wealth won't really mean much
I named my daughter angel 'coz I need one
Hello world, it's time to meet us, we up

So what's it mean? Do it for my team
Ain't used to having fame, now we living out a dream
Oh oh oh... yea yea yea
So what's it mean? Do it for my team
Ain't used to having fame, now we living out a dream
Oh oh oh... yea yea yea

What I would I be without... my niggas?
What I would I be without... my team, my team?
What I would I be without... my niggas?
What I would I be without... my team, my team?
