Life Story Lyrics

[Intro]
They better believe it
Hey
(FOREVEROLLING)

[Verse 1]
If you want it, apply pressure and make these people believe
Ever since I lost my nigga Savon, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Amazing I signed a major deal and didn't nobody believe
You ever been down to your last and your faith the same size as a seed?
I remember I wasn't even ridin' the bench, I was in the bleachers
And I ain't usеd to wanna go to school 'cause they was gon' laugh at my sneakеrs
Niggas ain't never supported shit, but now everybody want a free feature
Niggas come around tryna soak up the benefits, these niggas leeches
Tonight we havin' church at the studio and I'm the preacher
These hoes down bad, if I smell you, you smell yourself
These hoes fuck the whole city tryna get them a lil' clout
If I say it once, I'll say it again, I don't give a fuck who it's 'bout
I grew up with all my cousins, we was ten deep at my grandma house
Soon as you turn the light on in the bathroom, roaches run all over the house
My daddy was doin' time since I was a baby, he in and out
My mama moved, said she was workin', so she wasn't never at the house

[Chorus]
This the part of the game that they don't talk 'bout
Mama had it hard, all her baby daddies done walked out
Mama moved away and got a job, we stay with grandma now
And my daddy wasn't never around, that's extra trauma now
And I got into these streets and my lil' brothers wanna be just like me
I know these streets don't love nobody, but they got the best of me
They keep tellin' me just to rap, but this trap shit got the best of me
Damn, Dolo, damn
[Verse 2]
Grew up in a fucked-up environment, jobs wasn't hirin'
I showed my nephew sixty racks, he told me he admire me
Get in the booth and talk about shit I can't talk about, shit like my diary
Same niggas be on the internet hatin' see a nigga and won't try me
I was workin' jobs, once tried to sell a CD, the boss tried to fire me
From the underdog to the rest of the year, I'm booked up every Friday
My birthday comin' up, Lam' or 'Vette, I'm undecided
You ain't really turnt, these hoes ain't got you in they private
I wasn't really fuckin' with the rap shit no more, but my nigga had told me keep grinding
Stayed down, played my position, now I'm shinin'
Country nigga grew up rockin' gold, now I got a hundred-plus just in diamonds
Quez told me when that shit too real, they gon' sleep on it, but that shit timeless
Sometimes I just get high, think about my past, shit make me violent
Niggas wanna kill me 'bout some rap fame
Same niggas don't even wanna put in the work to get in the rap game
Nigga askin' what we beefin' 'bout, told him it's a clout game
Whoever thought this rap shit would make my life change?

[Chorus]
This the part of the game that they don't talk 'bout
Mama had it hard, all her baby daddies done walked out
Mama moved away and got a job, we stay with grandma now
And my daddy wasn't never around, that's extra trauma now
And I got into these streets and my lil' brothers wanna be just like me
I know these streets don't love nobody, but they got the best of me
They keep tellin' me just to rap, but this trap shit got the best of me
Damn, Dolo, damn
[Outro]
Damn, for real
I'ma tell it, you know what I'm sayin'?
Give it to 'em raw every time
