Make it

Messiah

They tried to say we’d never make it
Said we’d always struggle
They probably want to see me
Laying in a blood puddle
But I still show love and help Them
Like we blood brothers
Got triple crossed
Guns pulled on me
By my own cousin
I got some homies
Selling dog food like pet smart
I got some homies
That will roast you like Kevin hart
I’m just trying to
Take my whole team higherrrrrrr
Praises to the most High
To the Messiah

Yuh yuh yuh yuh
I’ll take you higher

Yuh yuh yuh yuh
Praise the messiah!

I use to run trains in the trap
My homey selling crack
White boy in the garage
Huffing paint he filling up a sack
I use to pray for better days
My best friend shooting packs
I use to ride and the back
My uncles old school Cadillac!
Was pinching bags and skipping class
While fanning green stacks
I had the ounces for the low
Way Before weedmaps
barter for food stamps
Nah I need the new Js
I use to sell dimes in a Nike bag..
Like the new js
Use to rock smooth waves
Now I’m sporting dread locs
Run up and catch a head shot
Posted at the med spot
Use to sip lean
Pour it in soda
Looking like snot
Hitting blocks
Ducking cops
Clutching glocks
Curving thots
Bands in my Jordan shorts 🩳
But I never made the hoop tea
Herbalife salesmen We made a living off the white and green
They thought that I’d be dead or locked by like 18
Instead I copped a crib then moved to Cali
And I chased dreams




They tried to say we’d never make it
Said we’d always struggle
They probably want to see me
Laying in a blood puddle
But I still show love and help Them
Like we blood brothers
Got triple crossed
Guns pulled on me
By my own cousin
I got some homies
Selling dog food like pet smart
I got some homies
That will roast you like Kevin hart
I’m just trying to
Take my whole team higherrrrrrr
Praises to the most High
To the Messiah

Yuh yuh yuh yuh
I’ll take you higher

Yuh yuh yuh yuh
Praise the messiah!


Don’t waste your time
With that waste man
Fine girl
With a waistline
White sand
On the coast line
DreamTeam
We the best man
I still show love to my roots
Like I’m quest love
Catch me out in Hawthorne
With the Tesla’s
Flight canceled
Call Delta
flights
back to back
Mile high club
Riding through calabasas
Like I’m Aubrey graham
Slide my card
leave with bags
Post it on the gram
Women on the beach
Getting sun tans
didn’t text you back
short attention span
it’s not about the money
I had a
Change of plans
If it’s not about the Lord
I can’t make it fam
Rep the pistons
Move to Cali
now I’m a lakers fan
...
They tried to say we never make it
like we’re out gas
