[Chorus]
(That shit, that type shit be buggin'✦ me out 'cause...)
Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦
(Y'know✦ niggas,✦ nigga✦ look back...)
(1, 2!) (To them days when you know shit is kinda✦ ill like, y'knawmean?)✦
All the things I do, you know I will hold my flags for you, my niggas✦
(Nigga,✦ niggas✦ like fall out, y'knawmean?)✦
(1, 2!) Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦ (Motherfuckers is– niggas✦ live long enough✦ to look back and shit, and...)
(1, 2!) All the things I do, you know I will hold my flags for you, my niggas✦ (Laugh and shit, y'knawmean?)✦
[Verse 2]
Young and learnin' shit, that started✦ this thick
Started✦ inquiring a lot, 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✦ smokin'✦ 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 M-track, with 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✦
Believe 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 chauffeur
Hold it down for all my niggas✦ 'til the movement is over
It's kinda✦ beautiful
[Chorus]
1, 2 (Yeah, y'knawmean?)✦
Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦
(How we have acquired – so much)
1, 2 (Where we can look back and, and actually,✦ laugh and lavish)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my flags for you, my niggas✦
(In the, in the, in the moment)✦
1, 2 (As we prime in life)
Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦
(Look at how we, we struggled all this way and went through the bullshit)
1, 2 (Motherfuckin'... the little obstacles)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my flags for you, my niggas✦ (Situations be tryn' set up for niggas✦ to, to fuckin'✦ fall off...)
1, 2 (And lose they hard earned✦ shit, y'knowimean?)✦
Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦
(I holds it down for my niggas✦ though)
1, 2 (Give my last to my niggas)✦
All the things I do, you know I will hold my flags for you, my niggas✦
(All the niggas✦ that was wit' me through the whole shit)
1, 2 (Love y'all niggas,✦ word)
Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦
1, 2 (My Flipmode✦ niggas,✦ man)
All the things I do, you know I will hold my last for you, my niggas✦
(1, 2) Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas✦
(Fuck that)
(1, 2) All the things I do, you know I will hold my last for you, my niggas✦
(1, 2) Every✦ time I sit and take a look at how we grew so much, my niggas,✦ niggas,✦ niggas,✦ niggas...✦
