Loyal to the Soil - Dame D.O.L.L.A. (达米恩·利拉德)/Lil Wayne (李尔·韦恩)

That money stack tall but only partially my focus

So compassionate struggle hard for me to cope with

Do a lot for others not for credit or to soak in

But to have an impact on direction that they go in

Grounded by the roots hooked to the soil

Recognize the rumble that we're in yeah it's royal

Crabs in the barrel wrapped up in foil

Kids grow up scars that are rubbed now with oil

And life done changed a bit but I can't grow apart

For those in my position that don't feel me grow a heart

I grew up round love but we had a slower start

Hooping on the tree and fighting at the park

Luckily we had guidance we was more blessed than others

We was the deepest family nobody had more cousins

The street lights would flicker everybody running no huddle

Cause if you didn't make it everybody got in trouble

I won't let that money define me

I let my struggles refine me

I know my angels behind me

Young rich and in the sticks tryna find peace

I ain't get high and I ain't sell **

People ask why I did it for my folks

Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope

Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke watch it go in smoke

Uh chin to the clouds all 10 on solid ground

Sipping purple Whitney Houston never touch the bobby brown

When it comes to the crown I done dreadlocked it down

Rest in peace my daddy rabbit he in heaven hopping 'round

I been outchea on the grind I want mine on time

Keep it a hundred not even 999

It's lil tunechi the best rapper alive

I rep five invite your girl to my suite at the Loews she left high

Oh my in a double r I'm re ready to die

My pockets fat as precious but what's more precious than time

Cause life is too short I got that from too short

Couldn't ball I was too short

But rich like I play two sports

Flag red like scarlet

Keep my head in my wallet

Leave the BS in the toilet

Leave the BS on the charming

With TF on my garments

I wear trukfit like ralph Lauren

And I'm loyal to my soil

Straight from hell I mean New Orleans

Tunechi

I won't let that money define me

I let my struggles refine me

I know my angels behind me

Young rich and in the sticks tryna find peace

I ain't get high and I ain't sell **

People ask why I did it for my folks

Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope

Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke watch it go in smoke

They said you wanna make it so here's the keys to survival

Get you a work ethic go about it maniacal

Carry your family all the great ones on that Mariah flow

Come to the neighborhood show a kid to throw a spiral

All about your time that's the best thing to give

A message from the distance hardly ever stay in ear

Gotta keep a presence even with your relatives

Cause we all carry gifts like Santa and the deers

I come through with no security

I grew up in the slums ain't no fear in me

Now the lames come and go and no forgetting me

They in love with the life and I don't know Billie jean

Look at my demeanor see loyalty in my background

Love me cause I'm solid not because I became a cash cow

Tryna make jobs for younglings that's on the ave now

That's why I can't have a barbecue and don't have a pat down

I won't let that money define me

I let my struggles refine me

I know my angles behind me

Young rich and in the sticks tryna find peace

I ain't get high and I ain't sell **

People ask why I did it for my folks

Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope

Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke watch it go in smoke

Watch it go in smoke watch it go in smoke
