Dedication (Remix)

[Verse 1: XiØN]

Product of the struggle, only outlet was to hustle

Dealt with early years of pain, had to work it out the muscle

Sore from moving all the weight, aspirations in the duffle

But ambition leads to gains, wasn't one for being subtle

Constant trouble.. misguided youth

I guess I'm living proof

Pelle Pelle shopping when I shoulda stacked to get a coupe

But I was tunnel vision driven, how reckless I was living

Don't care bout being forgiven.. cause what the fuck is the difference?

I еnvision..

The distance from then to now

Ain't worriеd bout who around

Persistence is the key to avoid the crowd

I cut em off like tumors

Don't listen to the rumors

They simply chasing for clout

Post stupid shit like it's humor

Consumers.. trippin bout tariffs

I'm onto different matters

Vaca plans to Paris

I'm chillin'.. so understand this

Still hood but got new habits

If you wait it ain't gon happen

Gotta get it how you live it

Moving bricks helped fill the gaps in

[Hook: Lloyd Banks]

I think it's time we have a celebration for life

Tip your fucking cups to dedication

For paper we could have a conversation

Let's get into it now.. time is wasting

Where's my nomination?

Time feels like it's flying when you're making money

Somebody gon' be dying tryna take it from me

Big moves.. right out of the basement dummy

No matter how much you may get.. just stay hungry

[Verse 2: TopOfDaLyne]

True story.. no cap from the beginning

The feeling.. of being broke

While you relaxing it's like sinning

Remembering..

Dreaming from that project window.. I found religion

If you wasn't down to die to get rich.. you wasn't living

Good kid gone bad.. it happened in a glimpse

From quarter waters to a quarter brick

Chasing them licks

Speed it up.. my pace

Had me moving pounds and ounces like I'm insecure 'bout my weight

Goal driven.. I was wired with no ceilings

GOAT visions.. inspired by dope dealing

Gotta know your limits when you're balling fast

Don't buy a car unless your stash is double.. plus that lawyer bag

Used to be that corner boy on the late nights

Now that hunger for more got my bank right

Aura lenses with the city tint

Ratchet on me like a city chick

Toast to having the city lit

[Hook: Lloyd Banks]

I think it's time we have a celebration for life

[Verse 3: Lloyd Banks]

Any gap.. I had to pick up the margin

Hell, I come from rags to riches to starving

Drowning pressure, Loud and Liquor ménaging

Massages and four-door garages

His and her closets

Bigger deposits

Lift the lid off the projects

They raise us up to get it regardless

Bigger the drive, the bigger the charges

Minor hiccups won't harm us

The killer's always the one that's the calmest

Run in your concert.. fuck up the sponsors

Tarnish what you accomplished

Monopoly wishes

The paparazzi gets us

Some posse pictures

Champagne and hibachi dishes

Versace slippers.. say something stupid.. I'm blocking niggas

Focus on the shit you got going.. can't stand the pocket lookers

This shit'll last through generations

The strongest of dope

Chemical mask for ventilation

After the trauma.. we'll have a toast and celebration

Cuban cigars and beautiful scars, frauds and segregation

[Hook: Lloyd Banks]
