They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
I been havin' flashbacks to the days of my youth Right next to the trap was my grandmama's stoop 193 Vernon Ave, Tompkins and Throop Where we used to be, take 'em back, back to the roots Where any time we'd leave the block we would move in cahoots Getting harassed by the cops, hands up, don't shoot They thought that we was sellin' rocks I couldn't say we was not (True) In fact, I couldn't say a lot 'cause it's just how I was taught (Shh) Guilty by association, that's a thing of my past Had to cut off some relations to ensure I would last Nowadays, ain't got no patience, I be moving too fast If we ain't on the same vibration, then I'm shaking your ass Now every time I spin the block, niggas be lookin' so mad Seen my closest friends turn to opps, shit's so sad Tryin' to pretend, but I know there's snakes in the grass Lookin' through my lens, it be hard to face those facts
They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
Can't find nobody to relate to these problems I have I got 150 on the dash, pray to God I won't crash I'm hopin' Allah take the wheel if I written my will I keep my head up on a swivel when I play in the field I'm paranoid, checkin' my mirrors like it's somethin' I feel These streets don't play fair, so I keep my pistol concealed 'Cause I'm the type to say a prayer 'fore I catch my kill Like as-salamu alaykum, swear this shit get real
Shit get Swear this shit get real Shit get Shit too real
They say it's lonely at the top, so whatever you do You always gotta watch motherfuckers around you Nobody's invincible, no plan is foolproof We all must meet our moment of truth, truth, truth
