Cj Fly Lv Ascot
[Intro]
Statik Selektah
[Verse 1]
Blowing up like chicks that got ass shots
My style changed when Kanye rock the Louis Vuitton ascot
Got a little status for the jooks I had caught
Back when I was gang-gangin' I didn't have squat
I ain't ever have shit but I always had heart
Niggas knew what it was, I never needed to act hard
Either took the train or I would borrow my dad's car
Approach me wrong and I might have to reach in the stash box and blast off
R.I.P. With the tsa, let it fly with no passport
Poker inside the Jansport
Took a leap of faith, I never thought that I would land short
Quick to give it to a motherfucker if he asked for it
Sad part is, we was never bad kids
My nigga **** shot up the park, got twenty-five years
Used to kick it at my crib, I haven't spoken to him since
We ain't ever get to link, I ain't forget you hoped you'd hear this
I realize in life we all gon' take our own path
And if you ever wanna talk, I got my own math
We were just kids then and now we grown men
I was going through depression, I thought that I was goin' mad
[Chorus]
Live pass twenty-two, they almost killed me with the deuce-deuce
Never did I think I'd make a living off of YouTube
Wasn't going nuts but always knew had a loose screw
Remember when my goal in life was just to catch a Mewtwo
Playing my Nintendo, Pikachu edition, yellow
Robbers broke in and they stole it when I lived inside a hell hole
I ain't ever get it back 'cause they just hungry in the ghetto
I first learned about an arm and then I learned about an elbow
Live pass twenty-two, they almost killed me with the deuce-deuce
Never did I think I'd make a living off of YouTube
Wasn't going nuts but always knew had a loose screw
Remember when my goal in life was just to catch a Mewtwo
Playing my Nintendo, Pikachu edition, yellow
Robbers broke in and they stole it when I lived inside a hell hole
I ain't ever get it back 'cause they just hungry in the ghetto
I first learned about an arm and then I learned about an elbow
[Verse 2]
I grew up in the ghetto, you'll be lucky if you get out
Snitches sing like a falsetto, veterans wear chains like medals
Didn't discover the genre when I first found heavy metal
And I knew it wasn't my toy, as a kid, f..cked up my mental
Just imagine dodging death and life on multiple occasions
I done made it out unscathed while in some f..cked in situations
It feel like we all competing to our own elimination
We don't see how this ain't positive and cause our limitations
We products of our surrounding, all neglected and doubted
For the all the times we were counted out we gone need a thousand
Put us inside of projects and living in public housing
Half my life I had no bed was sleeping on people's couches
West Indian, would say I grew up in a good home
Smart enough to go to school and follow by the hood code
Slowed my roll when I realized just how it could go
After I seen that they book bro, before life got out control
[Outro]
Mi haffi show yuh seh yo
Nuh mek dem tings happen to yuh, seen?
Because guess what happen, inna deh street nuh easy
'Ole heap a tings up be in the streets and see it happen

And mi haffi just work with it, you understand mi a come from?
