Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early days, when I would ride the A
Headphones in, my escape
Spike the room, we fill with yellow tape
Leave the crib but never lock the gate
Another day, another we afraid
This the only way we getting paid
You could take the front, i’ll take the safe
Up and dip, but never run away
Government corrupt and shit,
Been inside and made a bucket list
I got freedom on my upper lip
I got reasons for the getaway
Outside, I hear a uptown ricochet,
They took the rims off the hoop,
So no kid could play
We been bending rules and it seem to say
I’m gon’ drop and the world gon’ disintegrate

[Hook]
Never walk the path, cause I ran ‘round that shit
And I never double back, cause I landmine that bitch
I'm gon’ Sell it to them, Billy Mays
I'm gon' need the check in 30 days
I'm gon' walk it through them pearly gates
had to reminisce to Early Days

[Verse 2]
I been the type to sin from 10-2
Attend a group, to say I ain’t finish school
I been a fool
I read the news, stay home
I been a cynic
Gon' fill the sink
With my sins
Then drain it,
All my memories faded
Now my legacy famous
Check my phone in the AM
Had to get it, done waiting
Drop the pin with location
Keep the blunt in rotation
Quarantine a vacation
Every show, I get a standing ovation
You mad cause you standing there waiting
Work for yourself, be the boss
I see a young fella lost
I made a win from a loss
New niggas don't know the cost

[Hook]
Never walk the path, cause I ran round that shit
And I never double back, cause I landmine that bitch

I'm gon’ Sell it to them, Billy Mays
I'm gon' need the check in 30 days
I'm gon' walk it through them pearly gates
Had to reminisce to Early Days

[Outro]
Early days, when I would ride the A
Headphones in, my escape
I'm gon’ sell it to them, Billy Mays
I'm gon need the check in 30 days
I'm gon' walk it through them pearly gates
had to reminisce to Early Days
