[Chorus]
I walk thru the valley of shadow of death
And command my respect
You left me for dead
I came back with bread, b*tch, cut me a check
Treat ya first like ya last and ya last like ya first
And you never gone lose
Shine shine shine my n*gga
Make sure they see a star in you
They don't know about the grind
They don't know about the pain
They don't know about them nights
Damn near drove me insane
They don't know about the rain, they just think it's a game
They don't know about a thang
[Verse 1]
Mr. No Name from Pluto I pull up on ya planet
In a motherf*cking two door
Abducting yo hoes i probe em all up get them high off of dope
You don't know what we been thru sh*t to be continued
Survived in them streets sh*t will make you a beast
Don't want to see me unleashed
You can not contain me I go off like Kobe
I cut off some n*ggas it hurt me
'Cause I really thought we was homies
P.o.m.e it's cold in them streets, it will make your ass heartless
I relate to them killers and dealers
And n*ggas that fighting them charges
Took that time on the chin got to roll with them punches
D money tay locs j folks a lot of my n*ggas still thugging
When the sh*t real you look at it different ain't none of it sweet
I'm grateful I'm grateful I'm grateful that I can survive off the street
A lot of my n*ggas is gone a lot of my n*ggas deceased
A lot of my n*ggas locked down man
They got that mark of the beast
Talk to the lord hoping he listen he know I'm a thug
This the payback for all of them people
Who wasn't showing me no love
Now I'm the plug
[Chorus]
I walk thru the valley of shadow of death
And command my respect
You left me for dead
I came back with bread, b*tch, cut me a check
Treat ya first like ya last and ya last like ya first
And you never gone lose
Shine shine shine my n*gga
Make sure they see a star in you
They don't know about the grind
They don't know about the pain
They don't know about them nights
Damn near drove me insane
They don't know about the rain, they just think it's a game
They don't know about a thang
[Verse 2]
I got devils surrounding me habits that's bounding me
I see n*gga drown at sea on the daily
I'm walking on water they try to stop me, I go harder
Pay respect to the martyrs he Biggie Pacs and the Marleys
Mom was born on the day of the dead but i'm the party
Struggle drive a lot a people cray
Thank God it never happened to me
I was bred for this anointed
And naw, I wasn't disappointed when you turn your back on me
What else should I expect from a rat homie?
I just went and ran up them racks homie
Check the paper work that's facts homie
I can forgive but I can never forget
How people treated me when I didn't have sh*t
Down bad I was hitting them licks
Ready to die I didn't care about sh*t
But I rose still grew from concrete RIP to Aretha Franklin
Couldn't understand, now I over stand
Little b*tch tell who the f*cking man
Yeah
Try and down me
This rose still grows from concrete baby
A-plus
[Chorus]
I walk thru the valley of shadow of death
And command my respect
You left me for dead
I came back with bread, b*tch, cut me a check
Treat ya first like ya last and ya last like ya first
And you never gone lose
Shine shine shine my n*gga
Make sure they see a star in you
They don't know about the grind
They don't know about the pain
They don't know about them nights
Damn near drove me insane
They don't know about the rain they just think it's a game
They don't know about a thang
