[00:02.40]Produced by：T-Minus、J. Cole
[00:03.21]You good T-Minus
[00:08.65]N***as been countin' me out
[00:09.91]I'm countin' my bullets I'm loadin' my clips
[00:11.90]I'm writin' down names I'm makin' a list
[00:13.71]I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
[00:15.77]The real ones been dyin' the fake ones is lit
[00:17.73]The game is off balance I'm back on my s**t
[00:19.71]The Bentley is dirty my sneakers is dirty
[00:21.56]But that's how I like it you all on my d**k
[00:23.40]I'm all in my bag this hard as it get
[00:25.31]I do not snort powder I might take a sip
[00:27.28]I might hit the blunt but I'm liable to trip
[00:29.15]I ain't poppin' no pill but you do as you wish
[00:31.14]I roll with some fiends I love 'em to death
[00:32.99]I got a few mil' but not all of them rich
[00:34.99]What good is the bread if my n***as is broke
[00:36.87]What good is first class if my n***as can't sit
[00:38.78]That's my next mission that's why I can't quit
[00:40.88]Just like LeBron get my n***as more chips
[00:42.88]Just put the Rollie right back on my wrist
[00:44.82]This watch came from Drizzy he gave me a gift
[00:46.71]Back when the rap game was prayin' I'd diss
[00:48.78]They act like two legends cannot coexist
[00:50.32]But I'd never beef with a n***a for nothin'
[00:52.41]If I smoke a rapper it's gon' be legit
[00:54.47]It won't be for clout it won't be for fame
[00:56.36]It won't be 'cause my s**t ain't sellin' the same
[00:58.22]It won't be to sell you my latest lil' sneakers
[01:00.32]It won't be 'cause some n***a slid in my lane
[01:02.15]Everything grows it's destined to change
[01:04.10]I love you lil' n***as I'm glad that you came
[01:05.98]I hope that you scrape every dollar you can
[01:08.08]I hope you know money won't erase the pain
[01:09.83]To the OGs I'm thankin' you now
[01:11.81]Was watchin' you when you was pavin' the ground
[01:13.74]I copied your cadence I mirrored your style
[01:15.69]I studied the greats I'm the greatest right now
[01:17.66]F**k if you feel me you ain't got a choice
[01:19.71]Now I ain't do no promo still made all that noise
[01:21.58]This year gon' be different I set my intentions
[01:23.40]I promise to slap all that hate out your voice
[01:26.14]N***as been countin' me out
[01:27.32]I'm countin' my bullets I'm loadin' my clips
[01:29.21]I'm writin' down names I'm makin' a list
[01:31.25]I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
[01:33.09]The real ones been dyin' the fake ones is lit
[01:34.96]The game is off balance I'm back on my s**t
[01:37.00]The Bentley is dirty my sneakers is dirty
[01:38.83]But that's how I like it you all on my d**k
[01:43.52]I just poured somethin' in my cup
[01:47.36]I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel
[01:51.29]Promise I am never lettin' up
[01:54.99]Money in your palm don't make you real
[01:59.06]Foot is on they neck I got 'em stuck
[02:02.93]I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel
[02:06.73]If it ain't 'bout the squad don't give a f**k
[02:10.68]Pistol in your hand don't make you real
[02:12.54]I'm dead in the middle of two generations
[02:13.79]I'm little bro and big bro all at once
[02:15.87]Just left the lab with young 21 Savage
[02:17.66]I'm 'bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch
[02:19.55]Had a long talk with the young n***a Kodak
[02:21.42]Reminded me of young n***as from 'Ville
[02:23.43]Straight out the projects no fakin' just honest
[02:25.60]I wish that he had more guidance for real
[02:27.28]Too many n***as in cycle of jail
[02:29.21]Spending they birthdays inside of a cell
[02:31.10]We coming from a long bloodline of trauma
[02:33.15]We raised by our mamas Lord we gotta heal
[02:35.04]We hurting our sisters the babies as well
[02:36.98]We killing our brothers they poisoned the well
[02:38.91]Distorted self image we set up to fail
[02:40.87]I'ma make sure that the real gon' prevail n***a
[02:45.45]I just poured somethin' in my cup
[02:49.29]I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel
[02:53.20]Promise I am never lettin' up
[02:56.86]Money in your palm don't make you real
[03:00.93]Foot is on they neck I got 'em stuck
[03:04.80]I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel
[03:08.60]If it ain't 'bout the squad don't give a f**k
[03:12.54]Pistol in your hand don't make you real
[03:16.69]Money in your palm don't make you real
[03:20.39]Pistol in your hand don't make you real
[03:28.06]Money in your palm don't make you real
