Dame D.O.L.L.A., Lil Wayne - Loyal to the Soil lyrics

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 dope
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 $hort
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 Charmin
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 dope
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 dope
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
