It's like I've been waiting my whole life for this..
for this chance for y'all to hear me
some things I gotta get off my chest though
just so y'all know
uh yeah
They say only the good die young
and with that said
they don't get no better than me
they coming for my head
I represented for y'all when I came through the market
by becoming who I am I became a target
and what hurts is all the bullshit comes from my own kind
they say "Jin's fake he don't keep it real in his rhymes
he make us look soft, that kid ain't commit no crimes"
you God damn right
want me to say it? then fine
I ain't a killer I ain't a gangster and I ain't no thug
I don't walk around wit guns and I don't sell drugs
I'm not a murderer I ain't never said I was
So what the fuck y'all hating on me for huh?
listen to me
[Lyfe]
See I don’t want to hold a grudge so I cruise fast in my Cadillac
My momma would be so disgusted if she knew the way these grown folks stack
See I won’t let them cram my style no and I won’t let them hold me down no
Tell her that I’m ok tell her that imma make a way somehow
"Ay yo Jin you Double R bust ya guns"
I ain't about that shit
trouble just comes my way
I don't invite that shit
I got a career here
I ain't looking for fights to pick
got more pain in my heart than I knew could exist
like that night they pulled them guns out and banged my man
I was like fuck rap I almost had a change of plans
he took a bullet for me how I'm gon' repay that man
what if he would've died what I'm supposed to say to his fam?
the life I chose endangered all my family and friends
some shit I wish I could change but can't promise I can
people'll kill to get to the position I'm at
only to die here and find out it ain't worth that
you still wanna rap?

See I won’t let them cram my style no and I won’t let them hold me down no
Tell her that I’m ok tell her that imma make a way somehow
(That's how they gettin down)
two turn tables and a rapper that was that was
(that was how they did it then this how they do it now)
twenty young men wit they gats up
gota travel like that or they'll try to attack us
(that's how they gettin down)
the greats settled they beef wit rap battles, let's go
(that was how they did it then this how they do it now)
if they ain't better than you now they shooting at you
know it sounds tragic but hey, you know
(that's how they gettin down)
so what I'm supposed to do
keep twenty bodyguards and a large entourage cause everybody's hard
sometimes I wonder what happened to love and respect
all I see now is hatred and death
(that's how they did it then this how they do it now)
