Juicy

[Verse 1: Jon Connor]

Who would have ever knew, I'm doing shit most people said I would never do

Said never lose, and now I'm generating revenue

I'm from a place where we don't dream, because if you dream

That means you sleep, and if you sleep that means you just might not wake up

Now check it, impossible was something that we heard often

Walking a thin line between life and death can get exhausting

Mama cooking chicken, I was playing "It Was Written"

I had a vision of spitting with the way that I'm gonna get it

Listen how we grew up wasn't the flyest

Inspired by what we see on TV because we didn't have enough bread to buy it

Excited to go outside and act like the people we admired

Fake no limit chain around my neck, you see me shining

We bump "Make Em Say Uhh", rolling dice on the corner

Nigga make em say uhh, Landon Street raised me

The fame will never change me

No matter how crazy life seems to be getting for me lately I still ride

For the same shit that I always did, maintained the same life that I always lived,  same folks that was down when I didn't have a penny

Still with me, just know Flint city still in me, I used to read XXL and The Source

Now I'm on them same pages, guess natures taking its course

My little cousins looking up to me now, used to be chubby or ugly

Now light-skinned bitches want to fuck with me now, its kind of crazy how the world turns

Wasn't concerned with material, just wanted to read comic books and eat cereal, serious

Maybe write a couple rhymes and be respected as a lyricist, and make a difference

To the folks who be hearing this, writing rhythms on the porch

All the other kids heading to the basketball court, I guess its just a feeling

When its in you, don't ignore it, rapping was my passion, its my first and last resort

No back and forth, Ive seen a light at the end of the tunnel, as it was caving in

Door steady closing, I know I barley made it in, made amends with every obstacle

As I was paying dues, I ain't dead and I ain't in jail, and a Flint nigga made the news, what?

Somebody lying, nah, what I am is a result of somebody trying

I'm from a city where its always somebody crying, and we get numb to the pain

Its always somebody dying, its never more than we can handle

Ain't got nothing to put up on our mantle

Now I'm in the position to be an example

They said "you from Flint, you ain't ever gonna blow"

Well If you don't know, now you know, nigga
