Yeah! From the bottom to the top All I needed was shot, I started but I had to stop Yeah! Cuz my heart could only take so much The pain became my only crutch Love is Love and Such is Such Yeah! From the bottom to the top All I needed was shot, I started but I had to stop Yeah! Cuz my heart could only take so much The pain became my only crutch Love is Love and Such is Such I used to copy bars from Facemob and B.I.G Fuck a prom we hit South Beach with no I.D I went to college but all I did was fuck hoes and rap about it Spent my tuition on my fucking closet No profit, no logic, no more direction Found myself in situations so unexpected Never thought I be that nigga wanna snatch yo necklace Route of all evil, God please I need yo blessings I need yo knowledge Light my path so I can get up out it Walls closing in and niggaz dying And I ain't wanna leave my momma crying Same way I see his momma crying Death come in threes The mag hold 16 No enemies but money turn niggas green No Dr. King but every night I had a dream That I would plant the seed and finally change my family tree Yeah! From the bottom to the top All I needed was shot, I started but I had to stop Yeah! Cuz my heart could only take so much The pain became my only crutch Love is Love and Such is Such Yeah! From the bottom to the top All I needed was shot, I started but I had to stop Yeah! Cuz my heart could only take so much The pain became my only crutch Love is Love and Such is Such From Pyrex to projects My content been fact checked Way before a blog post and a rap check As far as that, still ain't seen no cash yet Blood, sweat and tears A couple streams and crowd cheers Changes in yo peers Niggas faker than veneers Bitches disappeared The vision still remain clear My baby girl gave me faith when all I had was fear The whole world on my back and she wiped my tears Stole food and Teddy Bears Cuz I love my kids Dark days, dark secrets underneath my skin Money plays wise teachings underneath my pen Smoke in the wind Coping with sin Hope in my friends Hit a lick for a couple bands Babyface but I got dirty hands Couple homies start lacing fuck the different strands But I had bigger plans This how I began Yeah! From the bottom to the top All I needed was shot, I started but I had to stop Yeah! Cuz my heart could only take so much The pain became my only crutch Love is Love and Such is Such Yeah! From the bottom to the top All I needed was shot, I started but I had to stop Yeah! Cuz my heart could only take so much The pain became my only crutch Love is Love and Such is Such

Let me share my bars with you Reveal my cards to you Let me open my heart as I share my scar tissue Let me tear myself apart from all issues A new beginning my Exodus starts with you Had to learn a lot lessons at a early age Seen a few adolescence meet an early grave Mama told me up in heaven all the streets was paved And made sure we prayed even till this day Now I'm looking as the man who done lost his way Was he led astray what is there to say My hopes and dreams already flew away I'm just working of memory I been getting to jittery From vices that hinder abilities Focus on preciseness looking for Synergy Am I hurting empathy Questions no answers The suspense is killin me Some got suggestions but niggas just be living to reckless And never understood my projections Ride through the night and run from reflections I hate to see what I'm becoming my man A long night falls will the sun rise again A sword sometimes I need more than my pen Made villains out of women that was trying to be friends A path of destruction was becoming a trend Let go the boy becoming a man Build and destroy my bro got deployed Now I'm the one that's got to move in convoys Now I'm the one traumatized by war stories Let me share my bars with you Reveal my cards to you Let me open my heart as I share my scar tissue Let me tear myself apart from all issues A new beginning my Exodus starts with you Let me share my bars with you Reveal my cards with you Let me open my heart as I share my scar tissue Let me tear myself apart from all issues A new beginning my Exodus starts with you Let me share my bars with you Reveal my cards with you Let me open my heart as I share my scar tissue Let me tear myself apart from all issues A new beginning my Exodus starts with you A new beginning my Exodus starts with you A new beginning my Exodus starts with you
