[Verse 1]
Yuh, a story 'bout a Buffalo queen
My first words, "I’ll be a legend"
I was younger than three
But I remember sitting in Jordan gardens with Quis
And we talked about and cried about our struggles and dreams
Both dealin' with family problems, parents runnin' these streets
I was partying, going out, gettin' drunk as a teen
Nobody knew the struggles I grieved
As young as a teen
With anger problems, punchin' the walls 'till my knuckles would bleed
This one time I ran away, 'cause I was stressed at my moms
Emotions, tryna express it was hard
I remember she was pregnant and we fought, that night I slept in my car
Months later, pops got locked and that left me in charge
Rewind it back when I was still livin' in Buff
Was fourteen with my only best friend that I trust
Then I moved to the falls, but we still was in touch
Then I got a call, they told me she got killed by a chump
That fucked me up, yo
[Verse 2]
Rest In Peace to my cousin, Jawaan
My friend Nancy
My grandma Janet
They huggin', on God
Make sure they name live on through my voice
Things I do for my fam, I gotta do with no choice
'Cause look
It’s more shit, 'cause it’s pressure they puttin' me through
My mom a single parent, both my sisters need money for school
So now, I gotta be the one to make a livin' for them
I get a chequs, take a percentage, then give it to them
Plus, my auntie got cancer, I hate to see her like that
When I blow, it hurt to know she might not be here for that
Reunited with my dad, I sat across from at the table
25 years, it felt like I was talkin' to a stranger
Snakes in the crew ain’t searching the grass
Crossed by some people
I would’ve gave the shirt off my back
But I never let my losses determine my path
Even though some losses that I took, it’s gon' hurt to get past
