Durkio told me
He been on some positive shit, yeah, yeah
Lately, I just wanna show up
And body some shit, yeah, yeah
Always been a lil' mathematicianlately
It's cash I'm gettin'
Got me losin' count of these bags
I've been movin' too fast
Hard times don't last
'member when cops harassed
Talkin' out my ass, boy
You ain't shit but a bitch with a badge
All my life
All my life
They been tryin' to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
All this time
All this time
Never thought I would make it out
Never thought I'd make it out
They couldn't break me
They couldn't break me
No, no
They couldn't break me
They couldn't break me
No
All my life
All my life
They been tryin' to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
I decided I had to finish
But the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians
I'm tryna change the image
You can't blame my past no more
I come from the trenches
Some said I'd never be a superstar
But I know I'm different
I'm The Voice
But the system ain't give me a choice
Know some people that's still unemployed
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit, I'm goin' through courts
Went to jail, they was chainin' me up
And you know that I'm famous as fuck
See how you gon' joke about stimulus
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt theyself
Stop tryna take drugs, I refer to myself
Tryna better myself
Tryna better my health but
All my life
All my life
They been tryin' to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
All this time
All this time
Never thought I would make it out
Never thought I'd make it out
They couldn't break me
They couldn't break me
No, no
They couldn't break me
They couldn't break me
No
All my life
All my life
They been tryin' to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
First-generation ghetto nigga
Cole world, hello niggas
Made it out the city
With my head on straight
Niggas keep shootin' up the lead out
Young Jordan Peele, gotta get out
And the shit that I spit out
Is a cheat code
Like I'm facin' a RICO
And how a nigga put a hit out
And another one, and, and another one
I got like a hundred of 'em
'bout to lap niggas
So they think they ahead of me
But I'm really in front of them
Now some of them fumblin' they bags
Fuckin' up the little crumbs that they had
A reminder to humble yourself
This shit could be gone in an instant
Me, I'm runnin' long distance
All pistons firin'
I been stuck between maybe retirin'
And feelin' like
I'm just not hittin' my prime
These days seein' rappers be dyin'
Way before they even gettin' they shine
I never even heard of lil' buddy
'til somebody murdered lil' buddy
Now I'm on the phone
Searchin' lil' buddy name
Got to playin' his tunes
All day in my room, thinkin', damn
This shit wicked
To get they name buzzin'
Some niggas just gotta go lay
In a tomb"
And media thirsty for clicks
I got a new rule
If you ain't never posted a rapper
When he was alive
You can't post about him
After he get hit
It's simple, it's the principle
On any tempo, I'm invincible
Don't even rap, I just vent to you
I rather that than an interview most days
Fuck 'em all
Like I'm goin' through a ho phase
Young nigga shoot out
The whip like road rage
I pray all of my dawgs
Stay so paid
And the only thing
That kill 'em is old age
All my life
All my life
They been tryin' to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
All this time
All this time
Never thought I would make it out
Never thought I'd make it out
They couldn't break me
They couldn't break me
No, no
They couldn't break me
They couldn't break me
No
All my life
All my life
They been tryin' to keep me down
They been tryna keep me down
