"Story Of X" lyrics

(Let the band play)

See, this 'bout the life of a nigga that came from the mud, but he turnt up and figured it out
Was just sellin' dope to them folks tryna keep me afloat, had a room, tryna get me a house
This street shit got ugly, I ain't have no money, but I was determined to get the fuck out
I was weighin' dime bags with the safe in the couch, done came up, now it's quarters, three ones, and an ounce

But I had good dope, the pure dope make 'em bounce, where you get this shit from? Somewhere deep in the south
Big nigga sag with the slugs in his mouth, he don't even much talk, he get in and get out
One thing I can say, it was never a drought, now I got the best dope, I done figured it out
This shit gettin' good, hope you hearin' me out, this the story of X before all of this rap, ayy

One thing for sure about life
There's two type of people, those that's born in and those that's sworn in
Ayy

See, I'm makin' money and now the pandemic done hit
Tried to scam, but I couldn't even hit
Tried to do unemployment, but that wasn't shit
So I'm still sellin' rocks in this bitch
At the store, yeah, we really outside with the shit
It was hot, but I stayed with that Glock on my hip
Thirty-round, no, we don't do no regular clip
Nigga trippin', I'm lettin' it rip
At the crib, shit, I'm chillin', been writin'
Tryna rap 'bout the shit that's excitin'
This shit soundin' good, my BM say she like it
Alright, well, let's see if this turns on a light
Now I'm at the stu' like the trap every night
Just recordin' this shit 'til it finally got right
I dropped "Mr. Trouble," "Big Stepper" was nice
Then I dropped that "Safehouse," had the city on fire
Now I got it rollin' and shit like a tire
Everything that I drop do six million or higher
Money look good, I done switched my attire
A jet when I'm flyin', go ask, I ain't lyin'
Fifty a show, just got booked in Hawaii
Just did XXL with Dlow and Big Maiya
The man in my state, made a mil' from a dime
Right on time and I ain't even started my prime, ayy

See, this 'bout the life of a nigga that came from the mud, but he turnt up and figured it out
Was just sellin' dope to them folks tryna keep me afloat, had a room, tryna get me a house
This street shit got ugly, I ain't have no money, but I was determined to get the fuck out
I was weighin' dime bags with the safe in the couch, done came up, now it's quarters, three ones, and an ounce

One thing about them people that's born in, it's nothin' you can to do stop they wins
They keep comin' and comin' and comin'
No matter the hate, no matter the dislike, no matter what you gotta say
No matter the campaigns you try to put against them
You can't stop they wins, they just keep winnin'
It's just natural, baby
It's a natural thing, man, 'cause
You know, it's a birth thing
It's just somethin' that's genetic
'Cause when you born into this thing
When you born to be special
When you born to win
It's nothin' that nobody can do to stop you, it's just, you know, they just gotta sit back and watch the wins
'Cause you special
