Nana’s Veranda

English translation

I'll wait for you to come to me

I'm holding on

No matter what the story reads

The binding has been done

No need to pay the price

I leave a way for light

For you I'll give it all

Forever

What juice? We drank tap water with sugar in it

My mother never drove a Benz until I put her in it

Guilty was the verdict that the jury gave

So I weren't moving to his shorty when I took the digits

But Alhamdulillah I feel super blessed

8 bills for my little sister's Gucci dress

And I ain't ever shot a vid without my shooters there

Had Nines behind the scenes like we're on Crop Circle's movie set

It's us or them and I know who I'm choosing if I have to pick

Swear I'll go to jail for years before I let you have this shit

And don't listen to that cap

Whoever told you that "You can't fight a fire with fire"

Didn't have a stick

But ask em' on my block they'll say I bought a bag of pistols

Sold a xabad to the Mali's they said that the mag-had-issues

Damn I miss you, forever your keeper thats on everything

How can I forget you bro? My memory's like an elephant's

Bro said it's deeper than just rap this shit for all of us

That's why they won't let me on the ride like I ain't tall enough

The voice in my head said "He ain't even lying"

But I'll still make it ring right now, I dare you call my bluff

I gave him twin Sigs \u0026 told him that I'll keep the .40

I don't pop pills I pay (shh) to pop people for me

Jail had me questioning if this shit was all really for me

Seeing people come in after me but they still leave before me

My teacher always told me prison's where I'd end up at

Cos we was selling Pique like Barcelona's centre back

If I was you I wouldn't pull up where them members at

You'll have em' asking who shot ya like when Biggie sent for Pac

I vent to Nas and I'm still sending stacks to his Hooyo

Ain't just screaming free bro, I spent racks on his lawyer

I don't play about N.A, I'm still standing on your name

I'm the one that --- slap ---

I'm the one that told em' circle round the h like a heli-pad

It's been a while since I been to where you're buried, dad

Where imma be in 5yrs ain't no telling, dad

But trenchfoot for real your son a soldier, I got merits dad

I think they know that I'm telling the truth

Ayo I got receipts for everything I've said in the booth

Still can't believe I'm home, I remember telling em' soon

I'll make this bulldog address the elephant in the room

That's why I had to play the Pen Game before I ever spoke to Margs

Rather that than have em' boasting, joking that they're smoking Marnz

Jummah on a friday I sat in that middle row with Starz

She just wanna roll with stars, I just want a Rolls with stars

I heard they said I'm hollywood now, they see how the movies set

Diamonds are forever so I bought my mother new baguettes

Life is for living, you know I'm a man of few regrets

We slapped your darg \u0026 you ain't have a scooby-do that you was next

Before rap, bro I used to sell waps

Sell crack, sell dreams, sell weed, sell hash

Felt bad, nah I lied we're still putting belt to ass

Before I sell my soul I'll pay for yours and that's no cap

Before rap, bro I used to sell waps

Sell crack, sell dreams, sell weed, sell hash

Felt bad, nah I lied we're still putting belt to ass

Before I sell my soul I'll pay for yours and that's no cap

It's crazy man, 7 years a slave

My first memories in life are right here you know

On Nana's Veranda

A lot's changed since I was last here man

This is a full circle moment for me man

The journey begins right back where it started, on Nana's Veranda
