Intro - Propain

When niggas hearts turn cold

It get hotter than time

Youngins yellin out they’s up

That means somebody gettin down

I mean, ain’t tryna be no thugs

But ain’t no options around

We born to hell and our only promise is just a spot in the ground

A nigga try to take my chain

Nigga I’m poppin it down

If I ain’t got it you gotta kill me

If I survive then he dying

I mean as shallow as that sound

That’s just how we designed

These streets gon' transform your ass

As fast as Optimus Prime

It ain’t too much that he gon' take

Or watchin his momma be crying

A nigga gon' jump up off that porch

Gonna make his dollars and climb

A nigga gon' hustle like its sport

Until he outta that bind

Cause this broke shit with that ambition

Will drive you outta your mind

And fuck a op nigga

You’re only real

Them folks gon' give your ass away

Like you adopted by time

And now your kids without a dad

And their whole plot is divide

That’s black cycle shit

Somebody call me out if I’m lyin, but fuck it

We born to lose, raised to win

Man I believe them words so much that I engraved my skin

Shit I can’t pretend

I’ve been down, couldn’t scrape a cent

But I’d rather die before these niggas see me caving in

Granny told me I should pray

Just hope that he erase my sins

I said it’s kind of hard when the dope man in a Mercedes Benz

She told me for that shine wait

With faith you better make amends

Ain’t tellin you that broke is cool but money never made a man

Now I’m like a drummer at a black college

Tryna make the bands

Higher than a waving hand

Ballin like I’m K Durant

When it’s real, it ain’t gonna happen fast

You gotta pace it then

Life really a marathon

Word to Nip the great for real

Would you ride for it?

You ain’t livin if it’s nothing you won’t die for

That’s real, yeah I like that

I said, look

Would you ride for it?

You ain’t livin if it’s nothing you won’t die for

Nothin you won’t die for

Tell me would you die for it

Damn, you know they fuck with Pro

I talk a hustler’s code

They watched me, from the mud I rose

Them niggas told me no

They used to shut them doors

But you know the saying

«The realest ones gon have the toughest rose»

I used to care about folks' opinions

I don’t give a fuck no more

They knock you while you’re here

Die, they all gon' love your soul

And imma fall a gladiator

Ghetto ass Russell Crowe

In case we never speak again

I did it like no other bro

Gone
