Before I Leave ft. (Prod. By AUTHENTIC) Lyrics

Negus iRap and I, and i rap

Before I leave, I just wanna, you know what I'm saying

say I appreciate everybody that made it this, this, uh, this far into the album

You know what I'm saying

Yeah

YahmYahm

Uh

Wanna hold my family down before I leave

Yeah

Wanna make my family proud before I leave

Yeah

And if I should die, While trying to chase this dream

I know my mom and pops is proud of me

I'm not sure if it's quarantine that got me overthinking, but

I've been saving up and not saying much

I've been staying up to check on Stinky, but I've been waking up

I ain't pray for much

I am thankful

Yeah, it's just painful here

This me crying out

But y'all gon' say it's weird

I've been facing tears

Damn, I hate it here

I miss my grandma, Vera

But I ain't say hey in years

I just think I'm scared

Cause I always just felt behind

Almost called you a billion times just to talk to a brilliant mind

Just to show you I still can shine

And you know I left Hemmingway and went an

Got that diploma just like you asked

It's 50 months later and I own the business, so I'm never out of cash

My daughter is straight and her mother is happy

I think I'm just like my dad

You told me I could and I got up and did it

So I know you proud of that

To Tyson and Tonya, I just want to thank you for all that you did for me

I was stupid and stubborn and youngin with nothing and still you was there for me

See, I wanted to tell you before I had left, but I just never got the chance

And shout out to Taylor, Talia and Myra for teaching me how to dance

To Booda and Myjel and Jordan and 40, Yall know y'all my brothers for real

I want y'all to get out the hood and stop tripping and come get this money for real

I feel like it's shady if I become chief and my brothers ain't up on the bills

I feel like y'all baby's my nephew and nieces

They need me, I'm coming for real

I can only show you the way to the money

I can't make it work for you cause I cant do the work for you

I ain't making it personal, but it only get worse for you

Like the longer you wait, the longer it takes

You just put in the work and we skip all the breaks

But I'll wait

Want to hold my family down before I leave

Want to make my family proud before I leave

If I should die while trying to chase this dream

I know my mom and pops was proud of me

Want to hold my family down before I leave

Want to make my family proud before I leave

If I should die while trying to chase this dream

I know my mom and pops was proud of me
