Starting 5 (Explicit)

Hey Lute can you do me a favor
I need you to talk that talk like it's all a n***a would
Carolina proud of these bars
Rap n***as corny this ain't your only vessel
N***as Flash without the ice they ain't nothing special s**t
You go through levels n***a swear they helped you
Put in the work I promise God gon' bless you
Everyday this what I tell my nephew
I lay low 'cause I can't relate
I'm good at ghosting 'cause I'm that n***a in my creative space
Hurt less when you out the way
You got your fame 'til you not the wave
Shout out my name n***a I'm gon' wave
Never too good to show you where I came
Spit that flame n***a switchin' lane s**t
I spit pain 'cause I'm takin' aim s**t
My brother called said he seen me on the TV screen
When I was sixteen they didn't think I'm pan to be anything
Don't wire checks I want the cash I want my money green
I'm 'bout to flex like I'm Money Team
My old b***hes be perplexed 'cause they ain't support the dreams
D**n
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this I got shooters in my starting five
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this I got shooters in my starting five
Drive-by's where I reside often
Beautiful black lives sit inside of that coffin
We gotta realize it's toxic
Eff a stick-up put the sticks up let's stick together through hardships
We already exhausted
'Cause as long as we're living as living targets to these officers
Now we gotta watch for any signs of us coughing
And I got asthma gotta be cautious
Ironic now I can't run it up show money done turned to no money
Just to sum it up I ain't seen the sun in months
But how can I complain when some fathers ain't seen their sons in months
Some are stuck overseas some are stuck six feet under us
Like even through the downs that we seen we still coming up
That's right
God really be loving us gained strength through pain we toughened up
Yeah gained strength through pain I got that tatted
Been through what I been through
You equipped but I'm not that average nah
If you ain't seen me in months you gon' ask What happened Cozz
I level up daily because I keep my hands to God
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this I got shooters in my starting five
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five
I turned nothing into something water into wine
I really do this I got shooters in my starting five
Keep playing with Dreamville's name
Don't get Chris Rock'd out your socks
Anything can and will happen
Then watch me walk back out my seat
Keep my name out your f**kin' mouth
Gangsta
On this side over here
Godly flows only
Drama
You witnessing the heart of Omen
Everything that y'all release is like DeMar DeRozan
Straight mid but my art is golden
When you dream like I dream see you seem odd
'Til these h*es lookin' at you like they seen God
I'm not God just the best thing that God made
A higher power calling me that goes beyond faith
A strong blessing they calm stressin'
Extraordinary person can't relate to John Legend
You see I speak with my chest like Bobby Fischer
Deep as the Mali River
Understand I'm not a role model figure
Beast with the pen plus my beats like modern Dilla
Peaceful within but I'm still a Chicago n***a
Intellect that I intel got me out of quiet hell
Thought TDK was dead b***h
I'm alive and well
I'm better through the try and fail tell your clientele
I'm just a star who was carved from Orion's Belt
Nonchalant bout homicide when you desensitized
N***as incentivize to keep on stealing lives
Put my pain in perspective while I roll pine
Last few years now I'm back in your starting five
You're witnessing a dynasty like no other
Dreamville
