Yo
[Verse 1]
You owe me flowers for flourishin' under these conditions
My boys a better version of me I could see it in him
Easy to tell him in hindsight shit would I even listen
Being exceptional brings more than a decent living
When separated I could show you flaws in each division
One at a time feels like a weapon how we treat religion
Dawg I'm too stand up, kissing ass is a weak position
Life for me is cinematic we used to sneak admission
A broken neighborhood birthed you the foulеst shit connects us
From what it's like to lose your namе and strip your necklace
We come in the same way just leave through different exists
Statistics hang on the side of you, hope predictions catch us
You see who is who tough times easy to switch agendas
Harder in holidays wish we could skip December
The ghetto neighbors grudges holdin' on them shits forever
We love each other but funerals were the get togethers
[Chorus]
Your life is built of money and the power
Don't let it come between of this thing of ours
You won't know happiness without the feelin' of the pain
And for when it rains it showers
To make it out's a moment you could treasure
If it was up to me you'd live forever
The younger ones remind me of the struggle that I'm from
The love will make the outcome better
[Verse 2]
Slippin' on cries out for help heard the despair callin'
'Cause whenever they needed me I was there for 'em
Prior relationships scared me should've been fair warning
The days are goin' by quicker feels like years shortenin'
Anyone could throw words around will you stand on it
What goes around comes around, I'm prepared for it
Lear boarding, funniest as kids just wanted Air Jordans
Peers fallin' hard to keep up, I'm like a rare foreign
Soarin' wishin' these cards were dealt to someone else
Back then we just called it crazy ain't check on mental health
You goin' through it how many gon' seek professional help?
If music healed you I imagine how instrumentals felt
Teenage murders, remorse for surviving; they kept me
And years later they diagnosed us with PTSD
The product of channels the TV sets breed
Cut through the dark lights movin' at VVS speed
[Chorus] 2X
Your life is built off money and the power
Don't let it come between of this thing of ours
You won't know happiness without the feelin' of the pain
And therefore when it rains, it showers
To make it out's a moment, you could treasure
It was up to me you'd live forever
The younger ones remind me of the struggle that I'm from
The love will make the outcome better
