Preme - Ill Life 4 lyrics

I used to say do dreams really come true?
Do miracles happen?
Can I get paid for my passion?
When I was young and my American
Fam would laugh at my accent
I'd say my accent is 'bout
As thick as your glasses, ha
Proud to say I've never
Caught up with fashion
These clothes can't cover your soul
And as of lately
I've been focused on my lady
Fuck bitches, man
Them hoes ain't covered in gold
They wouldn't let me cross the borders
The customs had me hold
It's my story, if I ain't tell it
It will never be told
Every man must stand on his own two
I know the grind
Taught me how to hustle in '02
From flippin' burgers to
Committin' burglaries, uh
From winnin' spelling bee's
To catchin' felonies, uh
My hood credentials such waste of potential
Momma, I pray I make it to make
Up for what you been through

Nobody really gets you
Feel like the whole world is against you
And ain't nobody comin' in your rescue
And all you wanna do is be the best you
Just know you're born for this ill life
You ain't the only one goin'
Through this ill life
All I know how to live is this ill life
They gon' see what I did
With this ill life, yeah, yeah

Uh, follow my story see the pain in my steps
Sunshine bring life
So I'ma reign of the death
For the sake of my kid
I'm tryna find some common ground with my ex
But it's hard to get right when you left
And lately shit done got me thinkin'
How I gotta strike in order
To become a kingpin let that sink in
Quiet in the club, just smokin', drinkin'
Or yellin' free my niggas like I'm Lincoln
Remember when Cole would open for Drake
And I would open for Cole
So I'ma climb to the top
I was still two levels below
That shit just feed the hunger
I have to settle the score
Get off toe, hop out my bike
Back to pedellin' dope
Talk about bein' stressed
Had to finally accept
I'd be rich if I could catch a reality check
Money ain't never make me
Pussy ain't never slaved me
So trappin' while I'm rappin' just prayin'
That Lord you save me

Nobody really gets you
Feel like the whole world is against you
And ain't nobody comin' in your rescue
And all you wanna do is be the best you
Just know you're born for this ill life
You ain't the only one goin'
Through this ill life
All I know how to live is this ill life
They gon' see what I did
With this life, yeah, yeah

Uh, and what I can say? Besides I want it
Want it more, kinda sore
A young boy make a fossils
Out of these dinosaurs
Say it, say it loud and proud
Own that shit, I got ownership
I can hand out these eviction notices
Young black landlord
Niggas can't see me like a sandstorm
Big gold medals like we ran for 'em
Still willin' to fall for what we stand for
Violate, I'll cut off your lights like
I pulled the lamp cord
Uh, we catch flights then catch feelings
Hard to smell the hate through the
Scent of a fresh million
Realest niggas recite me
The fake never relate
I'm from where a man is measured by
What he got in his safe

On the corner duckin' police know me
I grew up and I blew up now I'm the OG
Slim nigga pockets so big
Got my bitches on a short leash

Nobody really gets you
Feel like the whole world is against you
And ain't nobody comin' in your rescue
And all you wanna do is be the best you
Just know you're born for this ill life
You ain't the only one goin'
Through this ill life
All I know how to live is this ill life
They gon' see what I did
With this life, yeah, yeah
