All My Life

(アルバム： Almost Healed - 2023)

Durkio told me he been on some positive shit (Yeah, yeah)
Lately I just wanna show up and body some shit (Yeah, yeah)
Always been a little mathematician
Lately, it's cash I'm getting
Got me losing count of these bags
I been moving too fast
Hard times don't last
Remember when cops harassed
Talking out my ass
Boy, you ain't shit but a bitch with a badge

All my life
All my life
They been trying to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
All this time
All this time
I never thought I would make it out
Never thought I'd make it out
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me
No, no
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me
No
All my life
All my life
They been trying to keep me down
(They been tryna keep me down)

I decided I had to finish
But the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I'm tryna change the image
You can't blame my past no more
I come from the trenches
Some said I'd never be a superstar
But I know I'm different (No, no, no)

I'm The Voice
But the system ain't give me a choice
Know some people that's still unemployed
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit I'm going through courts
Went to jail, they was chaining me up
And you know that I'm famous as fuck
See how you gon' joke about stimulus?
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt theyself
Stop tryna take drugs I refer to myself
Tryna better myself
Tryna better my health
But

All my life
All my life
They been trying to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
All this time
All this time
I never thought I would make it out
Never thought I'd make it out
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me
No, no
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me
No
All my life
All my life
They been trying to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down

First-generation ghetto nigga
Cole world, hello niggas
Made it out the city with my head on straight
Niggas keep shooting up the lead out
Young Jordan Peele gotta get out
And the shit that I spit out
Is a cheat code like I'm facing a RICO
And how a nigga put a hit out
And another one and and another one
I got like a hundred of 'em
'Bout to lap niggas so they think they ahead of me, but I'm really in front of them
Now some of them fumbling they bags
Fucking up the little crumbs that they had
A reminder to humble yourself, this shit could be gone in an instant
Me, I'm running long distance
All pistons firing
I been stuck between maybe retiring and feeling like I'm just not hitting my prime
These days seeing rappers be dying
Way before they even getting they shine
I never even heard of lil buddy
'Til somebody murdered lil buddy
Now I'm on the phone searching lil buddy name
Got to playing his tunes all day in my room
Thinking, "Damn
This shit wicked, to get they names buzzing
Some niggas just gotta go lay in a tomb"
And media thirsty for clicks
I got a new rule
If you ain't never posted a rapper when he was alive
You can't post about him after he get hit
It's simple
It's the principle
On any tempo
I'm invincible
Don't even rap, I just vent to you
I rather that than an interview
Most days
Fuck 'em all like I'm going through a ho phase
Young nigga shoot out the whip like road rage
I pray all of my dogs stay so paid
And the only thing that kill 'em is old age

All my life
All my life
They been trying to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
All this time
All this time
I never thought I would make it out
Never thought I'd make it out
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me
No, no
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me
No
All my life
All my life
They been trying to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
