Jahking - Once Upon A Time

Imma take it way back when I was broke
When I ain't have nothing but a few dreams & some hopes
I know how it feel when ya back against the ropes
I done been knocked down but I got up I rose from the pavement
From where them niggas tell you stay dangerous
& where them pretty bitches gone choose a nigga famous
I'm carrying that tool cause niggas ain't gone leave me brainless
Few years go by they ain't remember what my name is
Know what pain is
When you can't provide for yo family doing the same shit
I believe in karma so I can't scam or take shit
But I wouldn't hesitate to leave a nigga faceless
These niggas got personas on some fake shit
& I ain't running from my problems imma face it
Can't be complacent
A nigga got patience
But I been waiting now it's back to the basics
Told you before the throne for the taking
I was sleeping on my girlfriends momma couch
I made them sacrifices to get here so what you talking bout
I could've went down that road I took a better route
I could've went & sold my soul I'm living better now
Can't nobody say I really owe them something
Fell out with my uncle & my sister over nothing
But for real I can't function with out her
I really miss her, but I gotta go without her
Throwing dirt on my name but I got it out the mud with you
Can't believe you changed on me I can't fuck with you
It was really up & was stuck with you
Thought blood was thicker than water I had love for you
Alotta shit I let go by like it's floating
I was tired of being in the same place slow motion
Had to close your door keep mine open
Even both eyes closed keep my third eye open
I got no feelings though
Like when you asked for my last 50 I still sent it though
Was really in that Honda bussing missions though
When momma really had us out there really selling dope
That she took from that nigga it's a crazy life
All my lil younger siblings project baby type
I'm trynna beat the odds gotta be precise
Ain't trynna have my lil ones go through what I went through twice
So I'm steady praying
I talk to God every night
My life feel like a fist fight
Gotta keep the blower on me or I can't sit right
You would never know the type of shit that we be in
Young niggas really playing with them CPNS
Used to rock cubic zirconia now it's VVS
Switching sides onna nigga you get Dp'd yes
I give more & get less back in return
I really give my life cause I don't wanna see family burn
Looking at my Ls as lessons
Was never stable so I bought the stable it's a blessing
I be reading everyday use my knowledge as a weapon
I remember when that money took off interception
No handouts the motto pop a bottle
Keep going till a nigga hit the lotto
I been going full throttle
Bitch suck me up like a fucking baby bottle
I was sleeping on my girlfriends momma couch
I made them sacrifices to get here so what you talking bout
I could've went down that road I took a better route
I could've went & sold my soul I'm living better now
Can't nobody say I really owe them something
Fell out with my uncle & my sister over nothing
But for real I can't function with out her
I really miss her, but I gotta go without her
Throwing dirt on my name but I got it out the mud with you
Can't believe you changed on me I can't fuck with you
It was really up & was stuck with you
Thought blood was thicker than water I had love for you
Alotta shit I let go by like it's floating
I was tired of being in the same place slow motion
Had to close your door keep mine open
Even both eyes closed keep my third eye open
