Текст песни 17 - RaneRaps

I was 17 running up my pedigree in the streets
Tryna make it happen for the bucks
Wasn't no guarantee that I would find my everything in shorty
But I met the C.R.E.A.M.
That's where I found love
Making moves with the jewels that they learned from skipping school
In a jam, some of us just wound up
But I kept my record clean chasing ultra light beams
Pray I'm blessed to get the team to living good
It's been a minute now

My cousin called his office all the blocks where wires shoe-laced
He told me earn ya badges in the streets, not in 2k
Too skinny for the food chain
Can almost slip through food strain
My brain my biggest muscle, even if the crime do pay
Temp tatted hustler on my body
Screaming scholarship
Save allowance for FAFSA
Just in case my merit dropped a bit
Collecting cans to rent a venue
Flip the cover, profit quick
And hide it in my shoebox 'fore the gangsters come to pocket pick
Like reverend every Sunday
Jesus charging for a meet and greet
No disrespect, I'll keep my ten percent so I can feed my needy
Dollar menu keep me cheesing between all these runs
From flipping t-shirts out the trunk to designated driving bruhs
Who asthma pumping reefer lungs with albuterol
They did it in mama's house now they calling on U to Haul
Listen, stay sober to move em all
Past the high and hymens
If we can supply the dope
We can buy out the iron islands
I'm voyaging
Finding rhyming to be the bread and butter
Get us out that jam and build the type of funds that turn the burbs to just a block of land
Rolling dice with the roosters
I'm up early profit plan
Till they think that we moving birds
'Cause all my niggas flock with bands
Damn

I was 17 running up my pedigree in the streets
Tryna make it happen for the bucks
Wasn't no guarantee that I would find my everything in shorty
But I met the C.R.E.A.M.
That's where I found love
Making moves with the jewels that they learned from skipping school
In a jam, some of us just wound up
But I kept my record clean chasing ultra light beams
Pray I'm blessed to get the team to living good
It's been a minute now

I was tryna blow like Biggie's diaphragm
Between the Bad and Boujee where I fall in your venn diagram
I chose the crack commandments over Lord's words
The sabbath meant some more work, more worth
Ironically all paid by by the boy church
Busting missions in the parking lot to sell the service out
Them dvd's were moving
Commission lucrative
Running fast as fugitive to make deposits
Only kept a hundred in my hand, help daddy save for college
Buying plates of jollof
Spend it with my color to maintain Ujamaa
So our block can ward off gentrifiers on they way to flock in
'Specially in Leimert
Damage done can't reverse
Try to hold on to our culture, gone too soon - Gerald Levert
What's it worth? If you tricking off your funds and opportunities
Instead of building up some cash flow with some continuity
Impunity when building up your team around you
Filling up the seams to soundproof from these eavesdroppers
Who tryna steal on all your how-to's
My homie say I'll have a statue landmarked
He can see the future guess he smoking on that bran stark
Got to see it through
Taking measures with my diet
Whole foods lowered prices
Fortify my handcart
Damn right I play my hand smart
Gone

I was 17 running up my pedigree in the streets
Tryna make it happen for the bucks
Wasn't no guarantee that I would find my everything in shorty
But I met the C.R.E.A.M.
That's where I found love
Making moves with the jewels that they learned from skipping school
In a jam, some of us just wound up
But I kept my record clean chasing ultra light beams
Pray I'm blessed to get the team to living good
It's been a minute now

I was 17 running up my pedigree in the streets
Tryna make it happen for the bucks
Wasn't no guarantee that I would find my everything in shorty
But I met the C.R.E.A.M.
That's where I found love
Making moves with the jewels that they learned from skipping school
In a jam, some of us just wound up
But I kept my record clean chasing ultra light beams
Pray I'm blessed to get the team to living good
It's been a minute now
