[Intro]
Yeah
OGs can't save ya
I come from a place where OGs can't save ya
Yeah, ain't nobody safe
Oh (They can't save ya)

[Chorus]
I come from a place where OGs can't save ya
All of my n***as in the cell or in the graveyard
Ice on my neck, this shit shine even in the dark
Tell me do you love me for me? I gotta make sure

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause yeah, you took my heart and ran with it, I can't chase ya
Don't interrupt me like Kanye did Taylor
And if he play, I'ma send that boy to meet his maker
She said I came around wrong time like Mother Nature
My nieces and nephews the reason that I ain't gave up
Gave my mama ten thou' but I don't brag about that stuff
I done took care all your people and I never brung it up
Walked in the store and if you want it then told 'em, "Ring it up"

[Refrain]
Mama said, "Don't bring home no children"
Been preachin' the same thing since a lil' man, uh-huh
Mama said she ain't want no friends in this house
That it ain't no chill spot, but you know we still chillin'
[Verse]
All of this pain helped me change, now it's ok (Now it's ok)
I did what they tryna do, the G.O.A.T way
I don't like to talk, like I got a tooth ache
Prayin' in a dark room, now I'm seein' brighter days
Where I'm from, everybody wanna be the best
Where I'm from, no lie, them n***as fightin' for respect
Where I'm from, everybody divided
No daddy in the household, they misguided
But I ain't the one who finna sit here and be preachin' to ya
My brother Ben hit the bitch, I guess he beat me to her
[?] my brother, that's my young bull
Hello baby, bonjour, she wan' me to say something to her
I'm finna turn nineteen, but you know I been mature
Pocket like a healthy baby, your's lookin' premature
Feel my pain, I got range
Shoot this bitch from center court
N***as think that they gon' get a trophy without workin' for it
See, I just be writing portraits, I don't write no verses, chorus
I just be writing portraits, I don't write no verses, chorus
They show love when I walk in the building
You know you fake, why you claimin' that you real 'den? Uh-huh
Granny told me to pray, I took a kneel then
Takin' painkillers, they find [?] in that pill man, uh-huh
They show love when I walk in the building
You know you fake, why you claimin' that you real 'den? Uh-huh
[Chorus]
'Cause I come from a place where OGs can't save ya
All of my n***as in the cell or in the graveyard
Ice on my neck, this shit shine even in the dark
Tell me do you love me for me? I gotta make sure

[Refrain]
My mama said, "Don't bring home no children"
Been preachin' the same thing since a lil' man, uh-huh
Mama said she ain't want my friends in this house
It ain't no chill spot, but you know we still chillin', uh-huh
