  • Grateful for the shit I got 'cause I come from a hard life
    Demons on my mental, saw some shit I wanna archive
    Feds lookin' out tryna bring a nigga down
    Just thinkin' 'bout the possibility, I frown
    Far out on that water, Father, don't let me drown
    I can hear my grandma sayin', "Don't let me down"
    People wanna kill me, always keep my gun 'round
    Pray I squeeze first, I can't lose the millies I found

    Bussin' off the stoinky wishin' I was off a bean, no stalk
    I was hungry for that money like a fiend
    Too deep in that water, my life ain't have no order
    Melodic blue stories, I'm feelin' like Baby Keem
    I do my own thing, fuck it, I took seven shots, no shame
    Back to wall, I'm still gon' blow you down, I ain't no stain
    Flow on Wayne, I don't give a fuck about no ceiling
    'Cause we catch a opp and send him to the sky
    They be like, "Tjay, why do you move around with all them fuckin' guns?"
    I just tell 'em that's 'cause I don't wanna die
    And trust me, I don't lie, can't fuck up, I'm a star right now
    If I wasn't quick to blow, I would be in the stars right now

    Grateful for the shit I got 'cause I come from a hard life
    Demons on my mental, saw some shit I wanna archive
    Feds lookin' out tryna bring a nigga down
    Just thinkin' 'bout the possibility, I frown
    Far out on that water, Father, don't let me drown
    I can hear my grandma sayin', "Don't let me down"
    People wanna kill me, always keep my gun 'round
    Pray I squeeze first, I can't lose the millies I found

    Shittin' on these niggas be my hobby
    I know they mad wishin' they had finished me entirely
    Shassa with me, lil' bro say he tryna catch a body
    Seen bullets hit a opp, before he died, his face said, "Why me?"
    How the fuck I'm livin'? All these niggas wan' fry me
    One day they'll stop overlookin' my gift, that's wallahi
    Millies in my bank account, but still ain't nothin' jolly
    These niggas back and forth tryna pop up like a ollie
    You heard they killed who? Drugs talkin', sound like molly
    Can someone tell the vlogs, "Get off of my D"?
    Never had no doubt if I'm gon' make it or no probably
    'Cause I ain't Dummy, Rah, U.E, or Woo Lotti

    Grateful for the shit I got 'cause I come from a hard life
    Demons on my mental, saw some shit I wanna archive
    Feds lookin' out tryna bring a nigga down
    Just thinkin' 'bout the possibility, I frown
    Far out on that water, Father, don't let me drown
    I can hear my grandma sayin', "Don't let me down"
    People wanna kill me, always keep my gun 'round
    Pray I squeeze first, I can't lose the millies I found

    No, I can't lose the millies I found Writer/s: Brooderick Blanc, Kavi Lybarger, Keegan Bach, Tione Merritt
