    [verse 1]
  now, this how the shit all started
  was like doctors of ? I was being conceived kinda retarded
  like, and while my moms was conceiving this beautiful baby
  doctors was the this woman's stress out of this Jamaican lady
  Pops beef and straight carrying on
  nobody realizing how the god was now being born
  ayo, yo, 1, 2
  while they was wildin and shit
  they couldn't even find my pulse, sonogram on the frisk
  so, they tried a natural birth, but had to stop production
  baby stuck all up in the womb, another malfunction
  1, 2
  and now the doctors discover
  they had to cut this lady's gut, and c-section me out of my mother
  Pop duke could only sit and ask why
  looked up in the sky and begged for mercy from the most high
  c'mon, now, 1, 2
  see now the day would feel blessed
  watching the birth of a precious baby life manifest
  see how that bugged me out

  started inquiring alot, started using my dick
  like I knew it all but I wasn't really knowin and shit
  buggin when my pubic hairs started growin and shit
  now hold up, a young nigga now a couple years pass
  searchin desperate to experience my first piece of ass
  now, gettin into mischief and caught my first arrest
  started smoking weed and started totin on them cigarettes
  eyes bloodshot like I was starin at a highbeam
  nigga only twelve so why he lookin like he nineteen?
  1, 2
  the fast life baby, young with an old soul
  from the past life baby
  a young nigga wanted things and wanted money quick
  ambitious on the Amtrak, wit a quarter brick
  my nigga, 1, 2
  it got hot in the streets
  my nigga campaign the cops who started walkin the beat, my nigga
  trouble causin too much problems just me and my brother
  made mommy a grandma and shacked up with my babymother
  now it a seed, I was always ready to clap shit
  strugglin, so then I start fuckin 'round with this rap shit
  moved to Long Island and got up with a few niggas
  believin we could show the world we was the Leaders Of the New niggas
  a crew of niggas that was hot like an infirmary
  blazin til they started actin like bitches internally
  so now, Flipmode is how we own it fo' sho
  tried to fuck with niggas but I couldn't do it no more
  fo rilla, 1, 2
  and then I got with some niggas
  always wit it to multiply the gross and double the figgas
  and then I, hit with bombs and hold a stack in my palms
  whippin Bentleys, floss icy shit and take care of moms
  give the local little old man a job as my chaeuffeur
  hold it down for all my niggas til the movement is over
  it's kinda beautiful
    [CHORUS repeats to end]

  where we can look back and, and actually laugh and lavish
  in the, in the, in the moment
  as we prime in life
  look at how we, we struggled all this way and went through the bullshit
  motherfuckin, little obstacles
  situations they try to set up for niggas to fuckin fall off
  and lose they hard earned shit, y'knowmean?
  I holds it down for my niggas though
  give my last to my niggas
