Port Antonio (Explicit)

Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it uh
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it Uh
Young Jermaine walked the straight and narrow
Minimum-wage jobs for dinero but still my mind was on the zeros
I fiend for the perks that was seen flippin' birds so
We was skippin' church but my eyes was on the sparrows
Niggas flippin' pies spendin' thousands on apparel
**** I wanna shine too I want dimes too
Jealous niggas wanna know just how my rhymes blew
Mano y mano I'm Bono I'm you times two
Now I'm bougie I done outgrew the fountain blue
But never forgot the spot where I developed my plot
To dwell at the top the Ville where all my skeletons locked
If I could do it all over then I never would swap
I've seen good I've seen bad had my melanin mocked
I've seen lifelong friends turn to devilish opps
I was Mike in red leather tryna tell him to stop
You better beat it 'fore you see the heavy-metal get popped
He was a mean-a*s wing with a hell of a shot
But if no team draft King he gon' bet on the block
He wanna ball 'til he fall or 'til the federals knock
And sit his a*s on a bench for movin' careless with rock
You can't relate 'less your father was not around
And your mother went out and found someone else and then brought them 'round
And they salaries then combine when they married it brought you out
Of that poverty then you moved to a soft little part of town
So that when you back in the hood you feel awkward about it now Damn
And your confidence start to drown
But the rappin' gave you some positive thoughts so you jot 'em down
You jot 'em down
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it
Ride to it ride to it uh
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Yeah uh
Benjamin Button Cole flows reverse time
To find deliveries good as mine you gotta search primes
I'm scaling heights higher than birds can perch
Tryin' to be something hopin' that peace comes to my cursed mind
One thing's for sure that I've matured from my first rhyme
I learned long ago you can't please 'em all and it hurts tryin'
In this game where all you've got is your name
Like Durk I'm smirkin' at niggas tryna besmirch mine
Absurd times where the fake get toted as wise
I can see hate in both of your eyes but the third's blind
So you search lines but you struggle
Which explains the puzzled look on the dull face as the word finds
I hate what rap's become but like do-not-disturb signs
Can't knock it if I see it's 'bout the dough
They instigate the fuckery because it's profitable
But singin' "stop the violence" tunes when dudes in hospitals
I pulled the plug because I've seen where that was 'bout to go
They wanted blood they wanted clicks to make they pockets grow
They see this fire in my pen and think I'm dodgin' smoke
I wouldn't have lost a battle dawg I woulda lost a bro
I woulda gained a foe and all for what? Just to attain some mo'
Props from strangers that don't got a clue what I been aimin' for?
Since the age of fourteen Jermaine is no king
If that means I gotta dig up dirt and pay the whole team
Of algorithm-bot niggas just to sway the whole thing
On social media competin' for your favorable memes
To be considered best or live and rest? The weight of both things
I understand the thirst of being first that made 'em both swing
Protecting legacies so lines got crossed perhaps regrettably
My friends went to war I walked away with all they blood on me
Now some will discredit me try wipe away my pedigree
But please find a nigga out that's rappin' this incredibly uh
My dawg texted me I'll share the words he said to me
"If you refuse to shoot the gun don't mean the gun ain't deadly" uh
I guess in that metaphor hypothetically the gun is me
I text him back like "Guess a gun ain't what I'm tryna be my nigga"
They strip me of my spot and now I'm finally free my nigga
They say I'm pickin' sides ayy don't you lie on me my nigga
Then start another war ayy Drake you'll always be my nigga
I ain't ashamed to say you did a lot for me my nigga
**** all the narratives
Tappin' back into your magic pen is what's imperative
Remindin' these folks why we do it it's not for beefin'
It's for speakin' our thoughts pushin' ourselves reachin' the charts
Reaching your minds keepin' your hearts creepin' to find
Emotions to touch somethin' inside to open you up
Help you cope with the rough times and ****
I'm sendin' love 'cause we ain't promised ****
My nigga
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Even if you don't love yourself
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't stoppin' me
Y'all niggas ain't
