[Hook]

Wasn't for this music, I'll prolly be dead

Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread

Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds

Drop top even with a price on my head, woah

It's no roof so they can see me shine

No roof so they can see me shine

Only a matter of time

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah

It's no roof so they can see me shine

No roof so they can see me shine

Only a matter of time

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah



[Verse 1]

I was born poor, but Ima die rich

Ridin' in the 7 like I'm Pac in 96

Still rockin' with the clique I had to grind with

Went to war, flip nickels and sold them dimes with

Yea, I used to sell nicks of reggie nigga

I get the chills every time that lil' confetti hit us

North Philly skinny bull but I'm heavy nigga

They switched sides they was never with us

And petty niggas wanna mention my name

To get acknowledged

Hoppin' that we act like a fool and give them violence

I'd rather kill 'em all with success and give 'em knowledge

Then throw it all away for a sucker cause we the hottest

My momma crib big as a church I'm bein' modest

No sleep puttin' in work that's how she got it

Bout it bout it I started grindin' when niggas doubted

Now I got it I'm drippin' in diamonds a nigga got it that's gangsta

[Hook]

Wasn't for this music, I'll prolly be dead

Instead I'm on top and I'm countin' this bread

Sittin' in the mansion, could've been in the feds

Drop top even with a price on my head, woah

It's no roof so they can see me shine

No roof so they can see me shine

Only a matter of time

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah

It's no roof so they can see me shine

No roof so they can see me shine

Only a matter of time

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah



[Verse 2]

Out in Hollywood trying not to get caught up in it

Struggle was brought up in it, hustle, we gonna get it

This one is for my youngins going to school with corner niggas

Don't get caught up in that boxing corner nigga

Times changed, it's feeling like live niggas versus corny niggas

They building more jails I'm warning niggas, shots fire

Momma crying, traumatizing their mourning niggas

Them cops killing us like it's war with niggas, it's on with niggas

I did shed so many tears at that corner store

Man I spent so many years at that corner store

I see my niggas disappear at that corner store

When they was sleepin' we was there at that corner store

Ya and we was eating at the corner store

Coppers catch us and they beat us at that corner store

Shit we was toting on them heaters at that corner store

Cause they was ploting tryna leave us at that corner store

No roof so they can see me shine

Only a matter of time

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah

It's no roof so they can see me shine

No roof so they can see me shine

Only a matter of time

It's dedicated, put it all to the grind

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah



[Verse 3]

Its no roof so they can see me shine

Whole city came out just to see me rhyme

Started off in Impalas now its DB9

In the Aston like he James Bond

Who he think he is?

Diamonds dancing all on me doing the stanky leg

I hear them whispers niggas talkin' what they think he made

Think what you want you gon' think I'm paid

Shit he balling I don't think he saved, shit all I did was think and pray

I got young niggas in the grave

They got murdered by a nigga that got bitter ways

They don't give a f**k about us put us in a cage

Let us out with that parole man this shit a maze

RIP to Snupe, RIP to Scooter

RIP to Dex told him I could be his shooter

I tell Snupe they don't love ya they just want to do ya

You see that truck that's the feds watchin' not an Uber

No roof so they can see me shine

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah

It's no roof so they can see me shine

No roof so they can see me shine

It's no roof so they can see me shine, woah
