[Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
If you were quick to judge you got it wrong
Must have counted out to counted on
Never took it short, knew how to long
[Verse 1: Chuck Strangers]
Seen cash, threw darts, big homies was mere children
When they was throwing it in the park, for them niggas we thank God
Young niggas going harder took it farther
No problems, we didn't need college
Took all matters without the luxury of dippin
We jamin oxtail drink drippin cream soda, Henessey sippin
Usually get made today lust for something different
Reminiscing on life before the vision
Evеn then I was big boned, his fade еxtra stoned
Time tp [?], he playing the new poems
He get you the same old story told
Various views on the [?]
So growing up, if you asked me, niggas had it like athletes
They sending me trash beats
Phone ringing, it's a scam, likely
Done with wishing niggas would be more like me
Blowing on the tree [?], new shit came to life
Every man see yourself as a [?]
Me too, I'm torn trying to see it through
[Verse 2: Ka]
No lounging in our housing
Up and out
Our fear detector [?] breakfest some in doubt
Streaming cable did things for paper, torn up about?
But boy an with an Eagle Desert with no evil presence might suffer scout
[?] survivors' lives are ruined due to moments
With all the friction, there's more convictions, fewer enrollments
As youth listen to Bruce, don't just punch, punch through opponents
For test me, get especially testy, got true cojones
Did a left [?]
Need to sense new aromas
Never been at ease enough to open up, if you had known us
[Chorus: Chuck Strangers]
Went from counted out to counted on
Counted on
[Verse 3: Ka]
At my genesis is how I feel
Independence is our deal
I stayed wise and cake rise
'cause my pie nil
Through nights crazed, made it to this ripe age, with eyes peeled
Separately, pen and truth respectively, sword to my shield
From the hill, still took years to take the high road
Ain't the place for sacred grounds, so made the rounds hollow
Don't respect the precious religion, living by my code
For my neglect of men that met their end, I do a fly ode
If the bonds ain't with open arms, accept the exile
With all these skills in music, never rep with no reptile
I suppose as I get old, there's more bite, less growl
Gripe less about your cats' success, and express how
[Outro]
If you were quick to judge, you got it wrong
Went from counted out to counted on
I never took it short, knew how to long
I never took it short, knew how to long
