Transformation Songtext / Lyric

I'm old enough to know better, young enough to not give a fuck

Rather hold my head high and die than live and duck

Remember I was down to die just to live it up

But life's a bitch and that judge is quick to give her up

They say that life is short, several looking through the bars

Gotta keep your head up, I be looking to the stars

I been through a lot, wasn't looking for no cause

Didn't kill me though, now I'm here looking at the scars

Sometimes you get caught by people looking from a far

That's how it is when you out here taking cookies from a jar

That's what my son said, they came and took him and his draws

He support the family, they took the mama favorite bra

The feds, snatched my favorite boy

These the rainy days they say you should be saving for

But when sun shines no one carries umbrellas

And if they did, we would look at them as dumbfellas

I'm trying to become something, they probably become jealous

Have a lot to say about it, but afraid to come tell us

I'm here to beat the odds that were set against me

Wished the worst luck to anyone who bet against me

I wanna be somebody, somebody that's never been

No squares in my circle, best shape I ever been

I'm growing up, my daddy planted a seed

My mama watered me with a plan to succeed

I was that kid in the ghetto, hand full of seeds

But I'm here now and I don't plan to recede

Sometimes I think I lucked up at right time

Imagine I would've fucked up that night slime

It hurts to even think about it

Would be in the streets, thirsty, trying to get a drink up out it

Black hoodie, I pull that quatro cinco out it

While they put that iron to your clothes

Like I'm taking wrinkles out it

Take every Franklin, Grant, Jackson and Lincoln out it

Look you in the eyes and tell you don't you even think about it

So as you hear me dropping this rhyme

Know my opportunity could of been stopped at a dime

The life you chose come from lack of options sometime

Gotta do what you gotta do, even opting a crime

And who am I? Without a name, dropping it I'm

Someone who saw the top and didn't stop, he just climbed

Someone who get money without dropping a dime

Transform to your leader in my optimus prime

So, for dinner you're stopping at Prime

Round of chill Patron, top of the lime

Hold 'em up, look at your niggas and say

There was no way out, but we figured a way

And now we chill, loaded up a steel

We just wish a nigga would but I know a nigga will

But for real, good is how you feel

But as soon as a nigga good is as soon as a nigga will

And we don't owe these niggas nothing

Put that in a nigga will, yeah
