I had homies in 11th grade doing gun trades out after dark
Tried to rob 'em so they left a boy brains out in the park
Next day in the church house prayin' they don't get caught
They was only 18 and was runnin' way from the law
Every now and then for hours in I sat back and think
It coulda been them, coulda been me, like R.I.P
The guys got locked up, I felt like the rest was left up to me
Big bro was in and out of jail cell like everyone on the way
I hate to see my brothers ever be limited by them gates
I lost a lot of friends, couple was real, most of 'em fake
It ain't stop me now, I knew with God I could be great
Gotta say my grace, He put a lot up on my plate
Amen
Can't deny me now
Tunnel vision I know they waitin' to tie me down
I'm the one that keep fightin' until they lie me down
On a mission no other way they can stop me now
Step away you can't take the heat on the battleground
What you mean I can't take defeat on the battleground
Final seconds I know the timin' was countin' down
On a mission no other way they can stop me now
You wanna hold me back?
Think you can stop me now?
You tried to knock me down
But you can't stop me now
In the winter it get dark outside at 5 o'clock
Now that G thang parked outside at 5 o'clock
It was just the other day, phone rang and checked the clock
Picked up, [?] say he waitin' outside the spot
I dare one try to come at us
Tell us that we not some done dadas
We been puttin' our hours in and now
These freaks tryna reach out and give it to us
If we be better, than she better believe I done spent
Weeks outta they reach bringin' these green commas in
Three summers in, we runnin' the streets mama
I promise, capisce mama?
I'm off of the leash mama
Your son is a beast mama
Can't deny me now
Tunnel vision, I know they waitin' to tie me down
I'm the one that keep fightin' until they lie me down
On a mission, no other way they can stop me now
Step away, you can't take the heat on the battleground
What you mean, I can't take defeat on the battleground
Final seconds, I know the timin' was countin' down
On a mission, no other way they can stop me now
You wanna hold me back?
Think you can stop me now?
You tried to knock me down
But you can't stop me now
