    I finally see
    See what it all mean
    Yeah
    The feeling of the first time seeing your name on a flier
    It just was yesterday picture that on the day you retire
    And they still shocked and amazed I made it up higher
    ‘Cuz I came up with them hotheads that played with the fire
    Product of the 80’s
    Prada Milan store for the lady
    I’m a carnivore constantly come with concepts to pay me
    I’m responsible for they most cockiest behavior
    My DNA in they G’d up ways, and they surveyin’
    I showed ‘em my scrotum is golden
    Rap game stomach was swollen
    I left these bastards on your doorsteps
    Behold em
    Ideas come and go away but I already thought ‘em
    So years later they still new when I go record ‘em
    I done hooked up with a beast
    Never stingy with the beats
    Experimental accident records wind up killing the streets
    Black and Proud shirts, white jesus pieces on cuban links
    Civil war chick, yo, she black and white on Egyptian sheets
    And I can see the jealousy
    I think they really scared of me
    Do what I do and let it be
    And that’s the way I always been since I was 17
    I finally see what this all really means
    Did a double album when rap double albums was startin’
    They bootlegged “I Am” an album I put my heart in
    Nipsey met me to do a doc about it before he departed
    He talked to Stoute about it too ‘cuz he was part of that project (yeah)
    Back then we charted with the CDs and tapes
    And I still come out the field
    You either scrape or get scraped
    You either in or out you rollin’ or you just in the way
    What this all really means I had to reload the drake
    80 years old I’m still gonna have a chain, a kilo it weigh
    Speedos on the beach, my belly out when I land in Capri
    Wearing black owned designer (uh)
    Math on my mind (Ok)
    It’s a while before I get there, almost past 49
    I be on the block easy with a glass full of wine
    Red Chrome Heart lenses to see I’m in my third prime
    The Q-U-double E-N-S
    Yall gonna need some EMS when we drop this and that’s a bet
    The feeling of the first time seeing your name on a flier
    It just was yesterday picture that on the day you retire
    And they still shocked and amazed I made it up higher
    ‘Cuz I came up with them hotheads that play with the fire (it’s facts)
    And I can see the jealousy
    I think they really scared of me
    Do what I do and let it be
    And that’s the way I always been since I was 17
    I finally see what this all really means
    It’s everything
    From the hard times
    I finally know what this all really means
    The bad times
    Anthony Saleh we got a team
    The better times
    All mixed in between
    Sunshine and rain
    Yeah
    Yeah
    Tough people last, tough times don’t
    Yeah
    Tough people last, tough times don’t
    Now I see
