"Intro" lyrics

This is Durk
Better known on the Southside of Chicago
And throughout the Midwest as Lil Durk's father
As it started out I had a life sentence
For the stool pigeon who told on me
And I been doing that time for twenty-two years now
Alhamdulilah by the grace of Allah
I got that blessing and won that appeal
And now I'll be out in a few years
To be with my boy, to be with my sons
To be where I'm 'posed to be in life
And do the things I'm supposed to do as a father
As always, for those who in the struggle
For those who in this system
For those who in the state's system
Keep your head, keep fighting
Cowards, rats, don't never win over real dudes
So keep your head up, soldier
And we're gon' keep on letting thing continue to flow
And we'll get out an do what we supposed to do as men
And hold our own
And be the fathers we supposed to be
Be the men of the community we supposed to be

Ha-ha, I tried to get that in
Got JDR on the ones and twos (C-Sick)
I want y'all to follow this shit, you dig?
I put him in his glo, he put me in mine
You know how we do it, Ls
Got Juice in this bitch with me, Carlito

Off the rage in Chicago to kill
Stay duckin' hollows, fu shit
On my block where it get too real
One nigga doing two drills
J-Money love the blue steel
L'A bussin' off two pills
My niggas too trill
300 niggas who real
300 niggas too real, yeah
Pluto be T'd off the Remy
Think he a Migo off the Remy
I think I'm Nuski with the semi
He still got the strap, niggas trippin'
And I'm hard body, man, I miss him
Chino dead not to mention
I was in the studio coolin', sippin'
And they told me stay in the kitchen
Don't be loafin' with these bitches
Don't put trust into these niggas
Beto gang will get you missin'
J-Rock keep saying he miss 'em
Iris dead, that's my first cuz
My first blood
The one I love and I miss you (Let's get it, let's get it)
Rest in peace to Odee
O'Block went OC
600 be for Baldie
Get these lames up off me
And Tay and Buda shocked me
If I was there they would have shot me, yeah

Day after day
Seems like I push against the clouds (I need everybody to pour out some liquor out, man)
They just keep blocking out the sun (For everybody that y’all lost, fuck it roll up, ha-ha)
It seems since I was born (I'm pourin' my lean)
I've waken every blessed morning (Uh-oh)
Down on my luck and up against the wind

They ain't deserve it
I'm out all night and ain't worried
Mama trippin', got a nigga nervous
I'm just sippin', drivin', steady swervin'
Bullets catch 'em quick, hollows burn 'em
Twitter niggas steady talkin' murder
Call my lawyer, nigga, I ain't heard it
Call my lawyer, nigga, I ain't heard it
You'll make the news where I come from
Rap, but you get the Blues where I come from
Shooter take you on a cruise where I come from
Get killed out the blue where I come from
Because, niggas ain't keep it too real
Niggas ain't keep it too trill
That's why I got me like two deals
I'm tryna chase me two mil'
Free Rondo, his bond is two mil'
And I got money I'm chillin', three children
Get money, invest into buildings
My nigga, we got it we 'round each other
My nigga, we buildin'
Niggas be tweakin' get money
Lil' nigga, chill out on that killin'
The murder capital so ridiculous
I swear I was grindin' for dimes and nickels
I swore I'd never drop a dime on a nigga (Let's get it, let's get it, let's get it)
Want a war? I'll never waste time on a nigga
Let's get it, let's get it

Day after day (Let the beat talk to 'em, talk to 'em)
Seems like I push against the clouds (I put my life in you)
They just keep blocking out the sun (Oh, ha-ha)
It seems since I was born (You're there when times are hard)
I've waken every blessed morning (You're there when times are hard)
Down on my luck and up against the wind (Ls)
