| [01:29.592] | Supported brother when I saw him on the rise |
| [01:31.635] | Niggas hated when I made it though, I saw it in his eyes |
| [01:34.527] | What's the hate for? Tell a youngin "Take notes" |
| [01:36.649] | All my lil' niggas got a chain when they bame home |

| [01:50.633] | Contemplated suicide and he came close |
| [01:53.052] | I wanna see my people but I can't, though |
| [01:55.185] | They'll **** around, send the task wearing plain clothes |
| [01:57.875] | Call you Theodore if you aim low |
| [01:59.885] | Forever I remain focused |
| [02:01.303][Chorus] | |
