Whole Thang
[Chorus: 070 Phi]
I do my own thang
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm back in the zone, mayne
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Wait

[Verse 1: 070 Phi]
Back on the wall
Teachers was on me, I grind with the homies
We made it to class from the halls
I see it different, I play my position
I go out and battle the odds
Like I cannot see no more rods
[?] that's squad goals
Ballin' like I'm in Chicago
Back in '94, that's the golden era
Workin' like I can't afford an error
But if I do I know it's ordinary
Can't break me down, can't kill me bruh
Might build me up, might heal me up
See my skills is up, we was raised different
Study wrong, so your grades different
Lazy so your summer days different
When you shine bright then the shade different
High tides, so the waves different
Prime time, I survived times
I had 9 dimes but I made visions, that's work
I wear my heart on my shirt
Like how it look on my sleeve
They'd rather see me in need
I'd rather grow to a king
I'd rather go out and get it
My soul and my spirit intact
So once I get it, I'm giving it back
Know that I really be livin' my raps
Don't feel no pressure, I'm good where I'm at
So what it do?
You should go get back in school
I'ma go get to this math
I'ma go get to that bag
If you just stay in your own lane you won't crash
[Chorus: 070 Phi]
I do my own thang
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm back in the zone, mayne
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Wait

[Verse 2: Dave East]
Never no handouts, I'ma go get it
No matter the weather, i'm tryna be better
No hesitation, I need it, I got a vendetta
I tried to show love but it never came back
The way that I would give it out to everybody
Inside of my own environment
I got a plan to take everything over
I got no time to figure out who inspire me
I got a mission I gotta complete
Been on this journey, can't lie, it get tiring
I need some help, I can hire it
Wire that check and I'm signin' it
I'll take you out of retirement
I need it all, not a piece
Coat for my daughter, I just got some sneaks for my niece
I'm tryna send my mother to Greece
You gotta stay disciplined, they gon' call foul if you reach
Momma said "smile, show your teeth"
"show me some passion, show me some energy"
I got a bank full of memories
I just hope that they remember me
[?] this life is attractive
Backflippin' off a mattress
Motivated by the struggle, ain't [?]
I ain't have it but I hated the [?]
Chasin' paper such a fatal attraction
I need the whole thang
Presidential and the gold chains
Tell me how you speedin' in the slow lane
We some new players, this a old game
I was thinkin' 'bout this on the four train
You can't relate if you don't know pain
Hunnids got 'em lookin' at me so strange
[?] is what I lived on, no name
In my own lane
[Chorus: 070 Phi]
I do my own thang
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'm back in the zone, mayne
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Wait

[Verse 3: D Savage]
Got it on my own, leave me 'lone (Leave me 'lone)
I'm like what you want, blowin' up my phone, ayy
Diamonds wet, skate
No I don't play
Rock another show
When I'm in your state
Then go MIA, gotta get out the way
Make sure momma straight
[?] that cash, [?] be late
I'm next, feelin' great
Food up on my plate
Pull off in a Wraith
She just want a taste
[Chorus: 070 Phi]
I do my own thang
Like I'm in my own lane
I work on my own pain
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
And I need the whole thang
I'm healin' my own pain
And I bring it home, mayne
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
