"Battling" lyrics
(feat. Lil Poppa)
[Yungeen Ace:]
You know when you like, um
When you born in some shit
Like sometimes you don't like, you don't ask for it
It's just how, you know how your life play
How your cards was dealt, you know what I'm sayin'?
Like, when you beat certain obstacles you can't go back
You can't
Uh uh
Catch a hat inside the streets, they'll honour a killer
Just a youngin in these streets
I don't think nobody there feel him
Cautious every move he know somebody wan' kill him
I vividly see my life way back when I was little
Death flash in front of my eyes in these streets
I was tryna beat the odds and I beat it
I was battling with these drugs felt defeated
Tryna put the cup down but it's there when I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Move far away from the trenches and I ain't going back (I ain't going)
I'ma stimulate my brain, stacking up these racks
Change and fame fucking up the street laws
Loyalty ain't the same, nowadays it could be bought
Y'all was playing at the park, I was in the trap being taught the game
Conflicting on my past got me tryna backtrack my pain
I'm numb when I'm in need, it's times I don't feel a thing
The typa mindset I had, it had me scared of change
In the ring like Ali, I'm training in the rain (Training)
How the fuck I made it off that block? Cause our hustle not the same
I'm proud, I'm finally walking away from the streets (From the streets)
Harassing my brother since the age of 18 (Since the age of 18)
I'm destined, I'm nervous, my palms itching (My palms itching)
I'm on the road I'm finally chasing my dreams (I'm finally chasing my dreams)
I'm proud, I'm finally walking away from the streets (Walking away from the streets)
Harassing my brother since the age of 18 (Since the age of 18)
I'm destined, I'm nervous, my palms itching (My palms itching)
I'm on the road I'm finally chasing my dreams
Catch a hat inside the streets, they'll honour a killer
Just a youngin in these streets
I don't think nobody there feel him
Cautious every move he know somebody wan' kill him
I vividly see my life way back when I was little
Death flash in front of my eyes in these streets
I was tryna beat the odds and I beat it
I was battling with these drugs felt defeated
Tryna put the cup down but it's there when I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
[Lil Poppa:]
Momma handed me a bible told me read it (Told me read it)
The way her son living she know that I really need it
Wasn't no food on the table, I'm the one that did the feeding (Did the feeding)
Was turned to slugs soon his brodie stopped breathing, no grieving (No grieve)
Niggas changed for no reason
I stayed the same so I ain't trippin'
Show how to knock a nigga off but I know JSO listening (JSO listening)
Said I'm done with drank as soon as I cough I'm back sippin'
Wanna be the boss, you gotta pay the cost nigga cost
Cannot be defeated, what the fuck is a loss? (What is a loss?)
That's the shit I learned from
How you gon' take some shit earned? (I earned)
Patience is a virtue, I step back and wait my turn (Wait my turn)
Got niggas still cookin' circles
Pushing Off-White like Virgil
Any rap niggas come in town, when I'm around I might surf
I might pop her back and down, how that sound? (How that sound?)
My brother body was found, I tried to go in the ground with him (Ground with him)
Instead we found the killer
Shit, somebody had to feel us
One at a time so many niggas dying behind Jenarious Wheeler nigga
All the money we done counted, it ain't make none of us realer, that shit ain't enough
[Yungeen Ace:]
Catch a hat inside the streets, they'll honour a killer (They'll honour a killer)
Just a youngin in these streets
I don't think nobody there feel him (Nobody there feel him)
Cautious every move he know somebody wan' kill him
I vividly see my life way back when I was little
Death flash in front of my eyes in these streets (In these streets)
I was tryna beat the odds and I beat it (And I beat it)
I was battling with these drugs felt defeated (Felt defeated)
Tryna put the cup down but it's there when I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
When I need it
You know when you like, um
When you born in some shit
Like sometimes you don't like, you don't ask for it
It's just how, you know how your life play
How your cards was dealt, you know what I'm sayin'?

You can't
Uh uh

Cautious every move he know somebody wan' kill him
I vividly see my life way back when I was little
