Modern Day

Being black nigga is just like a modern day crime

Modern, modern day crime

They say I fell off, I bounced back

I got it in me

Hustle fully automatic, dawg, don't do no semi

Seven day grind theory, dawg hustle-viili

That's why I got that thug motivation 'cross my belly

You confusing me with them, dawg, must be a mix up

Lots to celebrate, yeah, pour me up a big cup

Nigga, I ain't dead, I ain't in the penitentiary

All the shit I did, yeah, I coulda did a century

Nigga, I was plotting on this in elementary

Third period holding my vision pockets empty

Please don't tell me I can't do it, that would tempt me

What you know about adversity? I tell 'em plenty

All these chains on, feel like a modern day slave

Ten year sentence, that's a modern day grave

Real estate nigga, that's a modern day flex

Seven figure nigga, that's a modern day check

Self made nigga, that's a modern day grind

Being black, nigga, that's a modern day crime

If he got a badge that's an modern day opp

Motivation 'cross my belly like a modern day Pac

A soldier dies one time, coward dies a million

Came back reincarnated, what a feeling

Forever I'm immortal, naw, you can't kill my spirit

Why they always hating on your name, 'cause they fear it

Gave them all of me like John, I'm a legend

Word to Bush drug war, nigga, I'm a veteran

Post dramatic stress from the pain, I need some morphine

Cash rules everything around me, need some more cream

If I die tonight, wonder if heaven got a ghetto

Me and my girlfriend on brown liquor getting mellow

Sipping brown, blowing green, yeah that thug passion

Y'all thought that I was done done, that's all a thug asking

All these chains on, feel like a modern day slave

Ten year sentence, that's a modern day grave

Real estate nigga, that's a modern day flex

Seven figure nigga, that's a modern day check

Self made nigga, that's a modern day grind

Being black, nigga, that's a modern day crime

If he got a badge that's an modern day opp

Motivation 'cross my belly like a modern day Pac

All these chains on, feel like a modern day slave

Like a modern day slave

Being black, nigga, is like a modern day crime

Modern, modern day crime

Self made nigga, that's a modern day grind

Modern day grind

Being black, nigga, is like a modern day crime

I'm like a modern day Pac
