Seventeen
Yeah
You know I ain′t change
Still the realest
Yeah


I been putting it down out here way too long now
Even beat a court trial, don't ask me how
Somebody upstairs must′ve been looking out for me
Like they have binoculars watching from the balcony
Got a cold story, no guts, no glory
That's why I pour 40s on the ground for dead homies
Let this be my last testimony, half these cats are phony
Put a feather in my Dodger hat, call that macaroni
If you don't know me, go away
Hit you with the throwaway
And maybe let the auto spray
Hit you for your Cartier
Got the cops watching me like Jacob the Jeweler
′Cause I don′t take no days off like Ferris Bueller
And I don't play possum, it just ain′t an option
So take precaution and better hope I pass some bars again
Hot as Hell's Kitchen, I made the transition
Gotta stick and move like a manual transmission
Keep it casual like an annual celebration
My soul′s had restoration, now I know my destination
Record-breaking, can't settle for second placement
Like I got triple aces, we in the Matrix
It′s a God-given talent, keeping an even balance
So keep it solid or you gon' see the peace in violence
Lay you to rest in it, so put your best in it
Life is just a test so test your limits
So whatever you start, you know you gotta finish
And if you don't have the heart, you will diminish
Chill for a minute and think twice before committing
The only mission is to risk your life on this business
Can I get a witness? Can I get an amen?
Hallelujah, somebody please pray for him
Stands over the stove, bacon in the apron
Facing certain death and facing the 8 to 10
It′s a cold world out here, grab your gloves
So you don′t leave fingerprints where you were looking for love
It's a price you gotta pay when you living day-to-day
Cold as ice like gambling your whole life away
Like that
