21 Savage：

I finally got the fame and fortune that I prayed for

Who would have thought I would emerge from all that gun smoke

This for all the teenagers that wanna gun tote

'Cause they cheaper in the hood than in the gun store on God

You gon' lose a lot of your friends and that's what hurt the most

You can't do nothin' but reminisce about y'all crackin' jokes

You feelin' like nobody love you I know how that go

You gotta love yourself lil' nigga that's gon' help you glow on God

I know it might sound lame but just stay in school 21

They got a place that they put people who don't follow rules yeah

You probably got your mama scared don't wanna watch the news

Ready to risk your life and freedom for a pair of shoes

Yeah you say you love your switch but they don't love you back

You can hug that block all night it ain't gon' hug you back facts

Some of your friends gon' reincarnate and come back as rats pussy

And after your candlelight they ain't gon' give your mama jack

Now your brother kids askin' where they daddy at

So you gotta lie and tell 'em he just took a nap damn

You done failed in the streets so now you tryna rap

But that ain't really workin' for you so it's back to trap damn

Mariah the Scientist：

When it's all said and done

There's some things you can't run from

It's hard to decide

Either live or you die

I I ask myself was it all worth the risk

'Cause I can't pretend yeah

I can't stand the thought of losing you

Both：

I know how it feel to see your dawgs stretched out on God

And watch him struggle tryna let his last breath out damn

You don't wanna do it

But you lost some real niggas that you gotta step out

One more seat left in the car you gotta help out yeah

Niggas stressed out yeah

Probably why I tell the kids to put the guns down oh facts

Gangsta but I still cry when nobody around

Tryna numb the pain drinkin' bottles 'til I drown 'til I drown 21

Never do no suicide

But I'd be lyin' if I said it hadn't crossed my mind

I hurt on the inside and I still act like I'm fine

Why the judge give my nigga Paul all that time

Free Paul hey

Heard they lockin' niggas up for what they put in rhymes

Standin' on this **** oh **** it I'm still writin' mine **** 'em oh

This what growth look like no more committin' crimes 21

I stayed out the way and made a way for us to grind 21 21

Mariah the Scientist：

When it's all said and done all said and done

There's some things you can't run from

It's hard to decide

Either live or you die live

I I ask myself ask myself was it all worth the risk was it all

'Cause I can't pretend yeah

I can't stand the thought of losing you

All my dawgs too

Both：

Forever-ever Eastside Eastside

This **** 'posed to be for life supposed to be for life 4L

Jumpin' **** since we was five 21 five

We got that fire we was nine nine

Even though I'm up up

You can see the pain in my eyes

I mean like **** love on God

But either way I'm still gon' try

Got me ****** up 21

Seein' my twin on Channel 5

I 'cause even gangsters cry

I I I

Gangsters cry

Even gangsters cry

I I I

Even gangsters cry

21 21

My son this is your time

I know your heart

And I've watched you rise above many challenges

And you have made me so proud

I pray for many more fulfilling experiences

As you elevate to new levels of growth purpose and success

Dreams really do come true

By the grace of the source of life

So be it
