  1. Ah-ah

  2. Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

  3. Ah-ah, ah-ah

  4. Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

  5. Walkin' with my back to the sun, keep my head to the sky

  6. Me against the world, it's me, myself and I, like De La

  7. Got in touch with my soul

  8. Tradin' softly on a path down the rockiest road

  1. Life isn't ice cream without Monopoly dough

  2. The property grows in value, and rightfully so, I gotta have it

  3. I see the way the people get treated, it's problematic

  4. They ready to save themself for failure, it's systematic

  5. But when I felt it, my eyes melted

  6. The selfish are constantly profitin' off the helpless

  7. I never do my team green, make the team green like the Celtics

  8. The ones that ain't makin' it overzealous, they show and tell us

  9. Throughout history, earning cheddar

  10. They form and break out nickel-plated chrome Berettas

  11. The same old story in a whole different era

  12. I'm watchin' massacres turn to runnin' mascara

  13. But anywho, for the pain, see what this Henny do

  14. So we can see what lies beneath as we pour up a swig of truth

  15. The sun sets as I sip a few

  16. The sky turns a different hue farther from the color blue

  17. The nighttime has arrived, I recline for the evening

  18. I'm hawkin' down the next goal, the name's ain't Stephen

  19. I started in a nightmare so pinch me, I'm dreamin'

  20. I'm killin' off my demons 'cause my soul's worth redeemin'

  21. Ah-ah, ah-ah (yeah, yeah)

  22. Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

  23. (As I toke my cigarettes, which I don't even smoke)

  24. La-la (walkin' on this dirty-ass road)

  25. Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (yeah)

  26. Clear a path as I keep on walkin'

  27. Ain't no stoppin' in this dirty, filthy, rotten

  28. Nasty, little world we call our home

  29. They get blickies poppin'

  30. Ain't no option for my partners

  31. So, they resort to scams and robbin'

  32. Take away stress, we ganja-coppin'

  33. Blow it all out, it's all forgotten

  34. Keep on walkin'

  35. Ain't no stoppin' in this dirty, filthy, rotten

  36. Nasty little world we call our home

  37. They get blickies poppin'

  38. Ain't no option for my partners

  39. So, they resort to scams and robbin'

  40. Take away stress, we ganja-coppin'

  41. Blow it all out, it's all forgotten

  42. Walkin' with my back against the sun

  43. I've been runnin' all my life; that's way before my life begun

  44. Since my birth and seconds on Earth, I been the first one to confront

  45. All of these cycles that get recycled, makin' it stifle while I stunt

  46. Roll me a blunt so I forget it

  47. But it make the details look so vivid (so vivid)

  48. Went through a lot of shit in the last year (uh-huh)

  49. Then I said, "Fuck it, I'ma handle my business" (yeah, yeah)

  50. I been 180 to talk to one lady

  51. She been regulatin' on how I feel (feel)

  52. Describe it as raw and real (real)

  53. I'm dealin' with all the ills

Walkin

Ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

Walkin' with my back to the sun, keep my head to the sky

Me against the world, it's me, myself and I, like De La

Got in touch with my soul

Tradin' softly on a path down the rockiest road

Life isn't ice cream without Monopoly dough

The property grows in value, and rightfully so, I gotta have it

I see the way the people get treated, it's problematic

They ready to save themself for failure, it's systematic

But when I felt it, my eyes melted

The selfish are constantly profitin' off the helpless

I never do my team green, make the team green like the Celtics

The ones that ain't makin' it overzealous, they show and tell us

Throughout history, earning cheddar

They form and break out nickel-plated chrome Berettas

The same old story in a whole different era

I'm watchin' massacres turn to runnin' mascara

But anywho, for the pain, see what this Henny do

So we can see what lies beneath as we pour up a swig of truth

The sun sets as I sip a few

The sky turns a different hue farther from the color blue

The nighttime has arrived, I recline for the evening

I'm hawkin' down the next goal, the name's ain't Stephen

I started in a nightmare so pinch me, I'm dreamin'

I'm killin' off my demons 'cause my soul's worth redeemin'

Ah-ah, ah-ah (yeah, yeah)

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

(As I toke my cigarettes, which I don't even smoke)
