MAYNARD VIGNETTE - Killer Mike ft. T.I., JID, Jacquees

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh

Yeah

Jacquees said, yeah, yeah

I'm a young, Black Maynard, mama gospel singer

Daddy dope slanger, born from the anger

Tryna work a angle, get up out of danger

Hand on the pistol, the trigger hold the finger

Movin' like a surgeon, got life and death in hand

'Cause I done seen the serpents put a hit on they best friend

But ain't that the way it go? Either that or a raggedy ho

Or a rat-ass nigga with a rat-ass wife, workin' for them rat-ass folk

Repent, the end is near, the Bible says it clear

My mama says it's right, but she think Jesus white

She workin' like a slave, her preacher stupid paid

I'm tryna get stupid rich, tryna do stupid shit

Try and ball, bitch, forever, whenever, however

Old pride country nigga, campaign presidential

My goal is to be a winner, I'm grindin' through the winter

'Cause ain't no Rolex ever gettin' bought with the word "I might" or "finna"

If you know what it took, all these risks, all these chances

Streets helped me, raised to go and change my circumstances

Straight from the city, we done took it 'cross the planet

I'm guessin' that's how God works, no way we could've planned it, no

Mama, look at me now

Your baby boy is more than just a problem child

No, I can't slow down, no (No, I can't slow down)

Yeah, we the leaders, they just follow

Came in on some pop my collar, talk a lot of shit

I'm confident that I could run the table if I never gave the world the politics

In the eighties, who would've ever thought I'd do it big as my father did?

Raised on some "stay solid" shit, used to make plays by the colleges

James P. Brawley, Mayson Turner, on Simpson Road, I was a major earner

Nigga, my life full of highlights, if it was a book, it'd be a page-turner (Shee)

Grew up in the age of the dope boy

Don't be tryna kept me down, we don't go for it

Ain't gonna tolerate no ho shit

Don't give a damn where you from, nigga, go back

I can still remember buyin' that Cutlass

Bumpin' Al Green, Bobby Womack

And when it broke down, find a way to ride still

And all it cost a nigga was a dub sack

Got a problem, Glock pressin' on your mustache

Bet you get bust at like a bus pass

I'm from the town where before you drown, you get a hundred bags cheap and put it down, king

If you know what it took, all these risks, all these chances

Streets helped me, raised to go and change my circumstances

Straight from the city, we done took it 'cross the planet

I'm guessin' that's how God works, no way we could've planned it, no

Mama, look at me now

Your baby boy is more than just a problem child

No, I can't slow down, no (No, I can't slow down)

They know the campaign strong, they know the campaign strong

They know the campaign strong, they know this campaign strong

Uh, look

We ain't never had it all, my daddy ain't ever have a steady job

Ex-felon while he still in fall, he got out in '83 or '84

Left them crackers tellin' every nigga born should be in a cell

'Cause they sellin' somethin' or they shootin' shells

Stealin' somethin' 'cause he tryna give, killin' somethin' 'cause he tryna live

Mama feedin', save the kids, auntie Donna daughter would babysit

Maybe shit'll be better, we build up the ghetto

Put together cheddar and make it legit

Who gon' wanna live a day in this shit when it's people dyin' every day in this bitch?

Now I see what you was sayin', it, "bum-bum-bum-bum" with the K in the 6

Growin' pain, pourin' rain on my wrist

Offer more, then boy, you more than a lick

Feel like I'm watchin' a movie, but love it in real time, Toni Morrison shit

Tell me more about the war, the wins, I know the stories of the horrors we in

Now we goin' for the glory, I'm on a victorious binge

Follow me until the end

If you know what it took, all these risks, all these chances

Streets helped me, raised to go and change my circumstances

Straight from the city, we done took it 'cross the planet

I'm guessin' that's how God works, no way we could've planned it, no

Mama, look at me now

Your baby boy is more than just a problem child (Way more)

No, I can't slow down, no (No, I can't slow down)

They know the campaign strong, they know the campaign strong

They know the campaign strong, they know this campaign strong
