Grapevine Soldier Lyrics

It's like at long last, 'cause I was heading into harm fast

Thought I'd fall flat, and feel the burn 'til I'm all ash

Remember the top of my class ain't keep in contact

Now when I walk past, they always put me on blast

And that wasn't no karma, though

I know I did wrong before

Now I don't study hard but I'm on a roll

It got me seeing stars, not a horoscope

This not what I start for show

It's drama, but I seen where the horror goes

And since I repped the East, I been on the coast

The verge of panic

Recurring damage, and every single nerve is manic

'Cause even though I came in early to gain the advantage

I know it's niggas that ain't worthy who taking what's handed

Who the fam, I ain't have none in mind

But I'm up to find the answers when it come to time

There's not enough of it to get me really up to size

That's why I'm back to put whoever's in the front aside

What am I?

Never made ties, never chase no sides

Come to my side, it ain't safe outside

Putting my pride where my reign don't shine

Just to see if I'm fly when the days go by

Make 'em never wanna waste time

'Cause they heard I age like fine wine through the grapevine

But they ain't heard mines 'til I made my rise

When I'm live it ain't safe outside

Major dip in this state of living, you ain't been important

And my picture, it ain't been clear because I trigger warnings

Ain't no kidding, I played it simple, they ain't listen before

Won't be snitching the way they misinforming

When you got so much to prove but you ain't know to use it

Chip on my shoulder been huge, I see it's showing bruises

I never told an excuse, I had to soldier through it

They told me aim for the moon 'til I was overshooting

Was moving by my doley, too unapproachable

I normally didn't go with the group, now my shit more exclusive

Huh, and once the response get apologetic

I ain't got the message, had me blocked so it was hard to get in

Not to mention, who let they followers copy my essence

But don't bother sending me proper credit?

And see, I'm never making promises, tomorrow could end it

I gave her the food for knowledge, she gon' swallow each sentence

Got me young and wild, professing my prowess unprecedented

To doubters looking downward 'cause they wallow in depression

But I ain't wishing death, I been around that perspective

'Cause if I ain't have this sound, I'd blow my crown with the Wesson

Came left field, out of bounds with my style, they ain't catch it

The first of my trials kept the crowd second guessing

Felt worse for a while, seen the smile when I exit

Now they hurt 'til I'm found, whole town get affected

Never made ties, never chase no sides

Come to my side, it ain't safe outside

Putting my pride where my reign don't shine

Just to see if I'm fly when the days go by

Make 'em never wanna waste time

'Cause they heard I age like fine wine through the grapevine

But they ain't heard mines 'til I made my rise

When I'm live it ain't safe outside

I never made ties, never chased no sides

Come to my side, it ain't safe outside

I be putting my pride where my reign don't shine

To see if I'm fly when the days go by

I make 'em never wanna waste time

They heard I age like fine wine through the grapevine

They ain't heard mines 'til I made my rise

When I'm live it ain't safe outside

Nah, it ain't safe outside

When I arrive, it ain't safe outside

Nah, it ain't safe outside

When I arrive, it ain't safe outside
