Deep Reverence

Look, fuck rap, I'm a street legend

Block love me with a deep reverence

I was birthed in a C-section

Hella cops and police presence

We got opps so we keep weapons

We on y'all block while y'all eat breakfast

A lot of shots, we broke street records

Watch how you talk I got reflexes

Watching your cheap necklace

Then we slide out the east exit

But every time we get to fuckin' niggas up TMZ catch it

Y'all still learnin' street lessons

From the mastermind, first you master grind

Then your team catch it

This time is for the money, I don't need credit

And I'm the don 'cause the streets said it, look

(Fuck rap, I'm a street legend)

And I'm the don 'cause the streets said

(Block love me with a deep reverence)

And I'm the don 'cause the streets said it

Yeah, and I got pressure on me seven days a week

It's game 7 on me

Life'll test you out, you live through that, that's testimony

Givin' 'em hell but how in the hell I got all these blessings on me

Most of the girls I know addicted to social media

All this time they put in, they could've wrote encyclopedias

Mama said it only takes one time to fuck up your whole Wikipedia

And as your son I could see the type of light that you see me in

After what happened to Nipsey I reached out to Kendrick

It wasn't even no real issues there to begin with

Lack of communication and wrong information from people

Fueled by the ego is like mixing flames with diesel

Energy crazy, I realize that it's a two-way street

What's coming is going if it don't give you more it drains you

Should be a billionaire based on the time off I'm not taking

Probably why this shit with me get crazy and we lost a baby

And everybody around me think I'm the one but we all just one of ones

And I'm walkin' out the crib, they ask me where I'm going

I told 'em I'm goin' on another ten-year run

Niggas is banging over blocks that they don't own thinking that's home

Boy, you think that's where you're from? You don't really know where you're from

You don't know how deep your roots is or what your ancestors had done

So God bless all the sons and daughters who knew their history

So they knew where to take it farther

And all the ones that stuck with me like good barbers

Lookin' at my life story, God's a good author

Never was the loudest in the room, we move like ninjas

And if it cost you peace of mind, it might be too expensive

So I can give you everything that you want from me for free though

Get you one shot in life, you might not be able to reload

So advanced, I need all my advances

Bro hit me up for cash like we didn't have the same chances

My Dad hit me up like, why I don't live in a mansion?

I'm tryna focus, but baby girl, keep holding my mind for ransom

And that ain't how it supposed to be

This man Hov got to a B

And his name Shawn too, I almost felt like it was me

Damn, I realize all my setbacks were inside of me

In high school I learned chemistry, biology

But not how to cope with anxiety

Or how I could feel like I'm by myself on an island

With depression on all sides of me (Damn)

With a Glock 17 right on the side of me (Hol' up)

Look, I ain't think I had the thought of suicide in me

Until life showed me all these different sides of me

Too many times I thought the reaper was outside for me

And how the fuck it's people that never met me that hate me?

I wonder if they understand that I meditate daily

And feel like my life purpose is to give inspiration

Despite the hit songs that there's just no escaping

That I take care of my family and beat the odds that were deadly

You hate that? That just reflects your lack of succession

Bless 'em, if it ain't Nipsey blue it's Detroit blue

This that Detroit 2, I'm bringin' it back to the hood like D boys do, gone

So the collaboration though with Nipsey and who?

Aww man, I'd probably say Payroll or Tee Grizzley

Me and Big Sean talked about doing something recently too

So, you know all of 'em, I'ma, I'ma tap in with all of Detroit
