Beijing
[Verse 1]
Autumn in the Stuy
Textin' from the watch
Hoodies with the shorts, couldn’t tell me I ain't fly
Peace hittin' different
Dreams turn to missions
Family first, livin’ 'til I'm sleepin' with the fishes
Grown man era, socks with the sandals
Reel goin', Hit-Boy choppin' up the samples
Hennessey and Spades
Chattin' 'bout a 401k
Wishin’ I could do it all in one day
I’m on my get money, go missin'
Give it to the cores with the cameras off, no gimmicks
Pour into my kids ’til they notice that there's no limits
If you start sum, you finish
It won't be no quittin'
Heavy on the if it ain’t makin' noises then don't fix it
One strike, you out of the inner circle, there's no slippin'
If this shit ain't addin' no kinda value I won't miss it
One spark could set it on fire and I need no friction
Never takin' shit for granted 'cause you blink and it goes
I'm only matchin' love, niggas havin' beef on they own
People bickerin' 'bout all this shit they think that they know
We only kickin' it with people that could think on they own
I been waterin' my grass, know it's greener than most
Tradin' seasonal depression for the seasonal growth
I'm a staple in the hood, I'm keepin' 'em close
Still level up, reefer to cope
[Interlude]
Hey
Don't wait up, I'm always on my way
If you still breathin' air then it ain't too late
Well nothing's gonna change if we stay the same
[Verse 2]
Channelin' my Kobe
It's lonely in the last mile
Never gettin' cozy, thinkin' everything is rosy
If ever you arrive
You should prob'ly question if you dead or you alive
There's a better you inside
It's forward motion only
Whatever you decide
When you on the ground, who around beggin' you to rise?
It's all about the village
When everybody feelin' the embarrassment of riches you could really say you did it
Polaroids on top o' the Great Wall
You grew up with the corner boys pushin' the 8-ball
Barely breakin' even, tryna beat the odds
Lately I just pray for other people when I speak to God
Got a photo book of all the shit I been through
Places that I been to
People that I click wit'
Literature I'm into
Trauma that I live wit'
The shit I had to get through
Love, I got a fistful
Take a li'l witchu, for real (real, real, real, real, real)
