First of All - Meek Mill

First of all I wanna say is free my nigga Lil

And free my nigga Rick

They gave my nigga wheels

When they told me I was locked up I was in the cell

And just thoughts of doin' life gave a nigga chills

Damn, long rise to the mountains

I heard a nigga soul make you wanna cry fountains

But you can’t

Cause your pride won’t let you when u drownin'

So much pain can’t explain it or pronounce it

So you hold it like a soldier never foldin'

And daydreamin' on the day you make it home but never knowin'

When them crackers gon' let you free

Take off them chains and just let you be

Let you breathe, I get a deal

You know you get appeal

Hundred-thousand dolla lawyers rumblin' for real

So many laws lie fumbled in the field

Turned over to the system either that or they was killed

Man I dont hustle cuz I wanna shit I have to

I fell in love with the streets I lost my dad too

At a early age, man I was doin' shit to lead me to a early grave

Or put me in the cage

Cause I ain’t know that the world turns slow

And time flys by you fast tryna ride til you crash

I said I couldn’t pick a side good or bad cuz bein' bad felt good and bein'

good ain’t the cash

Runnin' in the streets got my mama goin crazy

Hangin' out south philly where my daddy ain’t make it

Shit I was only five and I was mad I couldn’t quake it

To catch a nigga slippin like a taurus transmission

Man listen, the streets that I come from black

A nigga take one of your’s then you come to him strapped

With ya gat, no rappin lay em all on the floor

Squeeze the trigga and let all of em off

See look you got the fiends on the corner

Lookin' like zombies

Crack babies in the window lookin' for they mommy

Youngin' he was only 19 he got hommy

Yesterday they left him in the streets brain soggy

Cause where I’m from we die young

Ride or pride live by the gun
