16 on the Scene

Lil ****, on the scene Late night, posted up at 16

I coulda gave you the game when I was 16 Stick to the basics, keep it G and have a big dream

But for now, you're stuck up in the hood, my ****

OG sayin' don't get stuck for good, my ****

I'm just reflectin' on my memories Me and my **** goin' half on the Hennessy

In a bag of mid, we finna stuff in the Swisher Sweet

Mama, I finally know why **** envy me

Cause I know myself and they lack self-identity

And they ain't been through what we been through

Remember seein' water in your eyes when the rent due

You said your check was shorter than the last time

Hold off on Christmas, we gon' do it big tax time

In my head, I'm like, fuck it, it ain't a big deal

You always teachin' us the game and we ain't missin' meals

You wouldn't understand the game from that

I gave him some extra so he'll come back

I'm up in college just chillin', what a fun at

But still in the spots where the drugs and all the guns at

Damn, I guess I can't run from that

I'm tryna keep my image clean, but I come from that

Why I stay up in the hood if I can leave for good

Fuck bein' in the streets, I'd rather go to school

Cause most **** in the streets fuckin' weak and breakin' rules

Why you do the crime if you gon' fuckin' tell

Even the sickest got they head busted in jail

Or someone fucked up on the same shit they used to sell

I had to get it out the mud, they ain't give me shit

It ain't nothin' to turn 28 to 56

Or put my mind in the overgrind and go get 40 hours a week

And still get some fuckin' overtime

It's like life full of pain and pleasure

If you don't go through no pain, then shit won't get better

It's crazy how I put pain on the beat

And bring pleasure to your ears every time that I speak

You might find pleasure talkin' down on my name

And regret every fuckin' word when I bring you that pain

When your mind elevates, a lot of things change

But those who don't understand probably won't ever change

I came a long way from posted up on that scene

Now when I swerve down your block, windows dark, can't be seen

This shit ain't easy as it seems, now my pocket full of green

I made this shit reality, it was all just a dream
