[LYRICS]

I be moving fast, even on a slow day
Lately its been all about the cash, had it with the no pay!
I've been hurt. Didnt feel no pain
Closed my eyes, prayed I'd be okay 
And I was
Now it's just my cuz and me burnin propane 
Put it out cant smoke the whole thang
Pullin up right to to show mane 
Gotta show my people how it goes mane

Yeah I'm feelin right, righteous
They ain't livin life, like this
They ain't ballin like this
Boy I'm all hits no miss

Put the lights on me! 
Ima do my thang
The boy dance like a diamond ring 
I could show you to the world, all kinds of things 
Baby say I got the flow so I make it rain.

Said she love my voice, baby I love YOU 
The way she give it to me, baby I OWE YOU
I can take you to the beach, I could take you to the pool
Either way to me, everything all cool

This that, how does it go when you sayin my name 
X4
She said baby I know, its gon all be ok
Baby I know, we gon make it one day 
Baby I know, you gon find us a way

That's why I'm glad that I got you
My rock
When I roll 
It's a whole nother story and plot
I've got options and lots of them holes in the rock
Beneath me, I can see how they want me to drop

But I aint ever gon stop this 
This the light in the abyss
Ima fight em off with my fists 
When I feel em coming I ain't running bitch

Ima changed man with the game plan 
I can count my friends on the same hand 
That I write my raps with
Yeah it's that quick
Only money talk, if its not CLICK

Lyrics:

I’m just tryna make my people proud
Ima young Black male I made it off the ground
& they say that shit impossible it comes with a lot of hows
Ima do right by that money go invest in a couple houses
They expect me to fall short but this bankroll longer now
I’m full throttle & ain gone press the brakes
They underestimated my ability I got what it take
& he can’t go get no job he got tats in his face
I don't why they see me as a threat i'm just tryna be great
I feel like Trayvon today i got my hood on,
If i was to make it out today i'll put my hood on
Buy out the whole block go get some acres we can live on
What you know about properties um
They know WooDa speak the real he speak reality uh
I don’t know if they envy or if they jealous of me
And uh I don’t know if they really even happy for me but I do know when my songs come on they singing along with me
They wanted real so I gave em real
It’s like they give us a lot of shit they don’t give a damn
It’s a brand new virus I cant get sick i'm really cleansed now he always wanted a Hellcat be he is god's child
I’m just tryna make my people proud
Ima young Black male I made it off the ground
& they say that shit impossible it comes with a lot of hows
Ima do right by that money go invest in a couple houses
They expect me to fall short but this bankroll longer now
I’m full throttle & ain gone press the brakes
They underestimated my ability I got what it take
& he cant go get no job he got tats in his face
I don't why they see me as a threat i'm just tryna be great
Life is hard but swear to god we must do better bruh
And that’s no judgement on it I done had and fucked up
So let me speak it clearly on speaking from experience
You are listening to a college drop out former drug dealer children outta wedlock giver
in the name of cash former brother blood spiller thug nigga similar to Malcom Little
I did a lot of shit that honestly i’m ashamed of
These devils say that you a savage can’t be blamed for it
I say Black man you is god and you should aim for it
Grandma pick that cotton, cut that sugar cane for it
So I refuse to kiss the cracka’s ass I ain’t for it
And if heaven only lily white than i ain’t going
Everybody know the white man’s heaven is a nigga’s hell
Ain’t no savior coming Black folks gotta save ourselves
If it come to your life or a crooked copper don’t be slaughtered
Word to Assata!
I’m just tryna make my people proud
Ima young Black male I made it off the ground
& they say that shit impossible it comes with a lot of hows
Ima do right by that money go invest in a couple houses
They expect me to fall short but this bankroll longer now
I’m full throttle & ain gone press the brakes
They underestimated my ability I got what it take
& he cant go get no job he got tats in his face
i don't why they see me as a threat i'm just tryna be great
What the devil never wants you to understand is that the same condition that creates street leaders create revolutionaries, y’all intertwined
So all that arguing online about who woke and who not who street & who destructive, it don’t make no fucking sense
Because the fact of the matter is your ability to organize the streets is important to the revolution
And the revolution never moves until the people do
