[00:40.69]Dedicated to the seeds that we grown
[00:42.53]World revolve around this family we raised
[00:44.84]I ain't a killer but don't slip up and tempt me
[00:46.49]I paint a picture like I mentored da Vinci
[00:48.25]The rain done filled up on 'em, India and Sicily
[00:49.84]I was young and not developed yet mentally
[00:52.10]Mommy, daddy arguin' in the livin' room
[00:53.80]I would come to learn that some things ain't meant to be
[00:55.83]Guess I'm destined for a childhood of solitude
[00:57.78]Introverted 'cause there's nobody listenin'
[00:59.45]Father figure wasn't on television screens
[01:01.32]Told me stories every day that were riveting
[01:03.21]Homicidal niggas die over anything
[01:05.03]All my idols either rapping or pivotin'
[01:07.09]On the sofa every day, I resemble Macaulay Culkin while my momma deliverin'
[01:10.48]Home alone without the mansion
[01:11.85]I'm glancin' out windows, makin' sure no robbers is visitin'
[01:14.45]Paranoid, 'cause I know the city is wild, I seen that shit with my own eyes
[01:18.01]First time I 'member a nigga try break in our crib late at night, I was five
[01:21.15]Dead tired, I called for my momma, somehow in that moment I realized
[01:24.81]We was sittin' ducks, no man in the house, just two kids and her
[01:27.38]And nowhere was her nigga, don't give a fuck, better toughen up
[01:30.27]And it seem like that shit stuck with me
[01:32.28]Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me
[01:33.84]Niggas better know what's up with me, what's up with me?
[01:37.69]And it seem like that shit stuck with me
[01:39.52]Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me

[01:54.14]Dedicated to the seeds that we grown
[01:56.20]World revolve around this family we raised
[01:57.93]Still recall coldest nights, dodging bullet showers
[02:00.55]It ain't all black and white like a Kurosawa
[02:02.48]Got the money and fame, but we took the power
[02:04.16]Spent it all, made it back, blew a million dollars
[02:06.13]Went to school scholarship, but I weren't a scholar
[02:07.84]I dropped out, I was hustlin', didn't tell my father
[02:09.89]He was proud, I'm ashamed, I had broke my honor
[02:11.56]Duckin' jack boys and D-Tecs, they tuckin' colors
[02:13.26]T and T twice a week was a fuckin' problem
[02:15.57]But you reap what you sow, I made coats of armor
[02:17.23]G-C-P, L-I-E was my road to karma
[02:18.91]Sleepless nights, droppin' loads off from home to Harlem
[02:21.01]Though my pockets was hungry, my soul was starvin'
[02:22.65]Didn't reach my potential 'til Cole came callin'
[02:24.66]Gave me space to reflect when the tour was startin'
[02:26.52]Couldn't waste and neglect, had a bigger callin'
[02:28.13]Almost died, saw the flash of life, callin' home from the afterlife
[02:30.83]Crime pays, almost paid the price
[02:32.51]Momma told me she prayed that my life spared
[02:34.17]Devil on my shoulder like a boulder
[02:35.82]But just when I needed you, God, you was right there
[02:37.84]In my corner like Cus D'Amato, Iron Mike from a city where nobody fight fair
[02:41.53]Yeah, yeah
[02:44.29]And it seem like that shit stuck with me
[02:46.55]Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me
[02:47.79]Niggas better know what's up with me, what's up with me
[02:50.64]And it seem like that shit stuck with me
[02:53.50]Keep your guard up, don't fuck with me
[02:55.77]Niggas better know what's up with me
