If U Say

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, I be on a plane, lookin' in a daze
I be on stage lookin' in amaze
Grand dad couldn’t talk back in the days
So I say a lot of things that he couldn’t say
Say, young man tell it
Scream it out loud if you gotta yell it
Straight from the source and without a edit
Say it with your chest, unapologetic
Uh, no filter, color for enough, black
Now the only color that you ever see is green when you look at one of us, fact
Lookin' back, you the last one standing
Board flights, lookin' forward to the landing
While my old hood boarded up and abandoned
Damn, everything from before seem gone now
So I put the memories in a song now
With a melody they can sing along now
I ain’t think about what a nigga won’t do
I be thinkin' 'bout everything I’m gon' do
New me, lookin' back at the old you, whatcha gon' do?
Even when the times got rough
Told myself it was time to level up
Homies used to say you the one (Say you the one)
So I couldn’t wait for the day to come
Nah, nah, no, no, no, no
Nah, nah, no, no, no, no
Been gone from the home team
So long, tunnel vision been OD
Hope the love ain’t lost when they hit you with the dap and a long time no see
Can’t help it when I’m on one
Trophies, can’t stop 'til I hold one
More importantly, holdin' down the ones that’s scared, lemme hold somethin'
Try to see the world through my lens, no end, work endless
Gotta deal with a few friends resentment when your hustle’s relentless
I don’t own this life that I’m livin' through, nah
Livin' on borrowed time and it seem like the rent is due, nah
O.G. always said, «Watch out for the fake, they’ll fold you»
All the heroes on the block never had capes or a phone booth
Still fly doe (Yeah)
Still gettin' high doe (Yeah)
The message always was to make it and gettin' money was the motto
Showin' you what I know
Even when the times got rough
Told myself it was time to level up
Homies used to say you the one
So I couldn’t wait for the day to come
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
