I say the world keep turning 
The clock keep ticking 
So don't be wasting time 
They said it wasn't gone 
Happened for me over night 
Best believe this gonna take some time 
You just gotta stay down 
Yea I know I gotta keep it correct 
But I still get to seize the connect 
You know I gotta stay down 
Yea, I had to struggle just like you 
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you 
That's why I gotta stay down 
I see niggas got a hard on for me because my grind 
tight 
Money right, I'm going all in shortly 
Mi amigo down bottom, put the call in for me 
No fucking business, make sure it's all there for me 
Yo watch the diamond, no offense 
Yea the block been good to me 
But running these streets, there's a lot that you 
regret 
The innocent corrupted, the niggas you don't fuck with 
Shit I don't rap with all the niggas I grew up with 
And that's over principle, yea that shit's real 
Gotta keep it pushin', no way I could sit still 
Bricks to the boy and pounds to that sense a mill 
Gotta kill him in the suburbs serving them ten appeal 
Now I'm back with the summer's report 
Everybody tryna make it but a few niggas coming up 
short 
Yea, some different shit day after day 
So I stay out the way 
But I'm still gonna play how I play 
I say the world keep turning 
The clock keep ticking 
So don't be wasting time 
They said it wasn't gone 
Happened for me over night 
Best believe this gonna take some time 
You just gotta stay down 
Yea I know I gotta keep it correct 
But I still get to seize the connect 
You know I gotta stay down 
Yea, I had to struggle just like you 
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you 
That's why I gotta stay down 
The hood be sayin' they so proud of me 
I'm proud, love my city, the haters' my only allergy 
Man they just mad cuz the music takin' off 
I'm worried 'bout the dottie and the julie takin' off 
All in the whip when the coupe be satin off 
Make it easy for these niggas, the roof – I take it off 
One button, let them see what the guts be like 
All the bitches looking at me like it must be nice 
This shit's workin', get your girl, your bitch flirtin' 
I'm something like a pimp that got him on the strip 
workin' 
Now I'm back, got the stomach for that 
Just stay down like I'm supposed to, the money just 
stack 
Where my niggas 'bout their business? where the 
hustlers at? 
Quackin' the jungle with gorillas, we'll be confortable 
there 
Yea, time is money, it's a race against the clock 
Some niggas die tryin', some make it to the top 
I say the world keep turning 
The clock keep ticking 
So don't be wasting time 
They said it wasn't gone 
Happened for me over night 
Best believe this gonna take some time 
You just gotta stay down 
Yea I know I gotta keep it correct 
But I still get to seize the connect 
You know I gotta stay down 
Yea, I had to struggle just like you 
I'm from the ghetto, I grew up like you 
That's why I gotta stay down
