"A little bit" "Yeah" It's a long walk to paradise and wishing on the stars They make you feel delusion like looking at a mirage And persisting on this road you can see it inside my scars Wish I had a genie that come a lead me like I'm Jafar, magic My grandmother lived to 96 she beat the cancer, outlived four of her kids, this **** is tragic And she still beileve the Bible to this very same day And it made her life amazing, I ain't expecting her to change Lookin' for nirvanas further than the eyes view Don't let pre-determined destinies define you My rude planet and Flatbush where my mind grew Into the trees to drop seeds around the globe too Botanists waterin' their hearts to grow confidence The bloom seeds are comin' to you, was brought with dominance No document, seven couldn't taste the fruit of knowledge Only true to breath of living cause you understand the science Yo, school of hardknocks, it can make you, it can break you As a youngin' growing up, we cussed and caught some cases Five percenters on that corner, mistaken As-salamu alaykum Got my wisdom from the city lights, but don't get blind, baby Always on the grind daily, uh Overtime, got that New York state of mind Hate me, but I still survive Visit the bodega, I'm just happy papa still alive Pull up on my nigga, roll a spliff up and just catch a vibe Yellow cab to the spinach, super fast, gotta get it Brooklyn nigga, keep it with it Cross the bridge, you might regret it (uh) Hardly ever live relaxed, NYPD on our backs That graffiti on the track, ain't no treaty, where's the gat? Rotten Apple, people roam the streets like cattle Most travel for us, the globe, would goals unravel? It's a juggle, everyday, could be prey in the battle So would you rather be the sheep or the king in the castle? "This for those who know..." New York city, broke the chains and the shackles Tryna navigate the world, it's living inside the apple Run back in the game, shake and move through the tackles Know the mary twist and turn like you opening up a Snapple If you make it in my city, ain't no limit chasing, silly Know my pigment got you weary, but I'm still gon' get this milli' In the weekend, I'm in billy or in soul, I'm getting litty Getting promo by your bitty, yeah, you know I love this city, ay (Yeah, you know I love this city, ay)
