[Verse 1: The Jacka]
(Jack)
Listen, time never phase me, yo
Still got the crazy flow
Sleep till the sun go
Dressed when the night come
I remember the leather task force & Fila two tones
Girlfriend 14, her moms and her pops gone
I was 13, my pops in a state dorm
Moms on her own, felt her pain but she stayed strong
No education, no job to retire
On the Mob, I was selling coke two years prior
In the sixth grade, black and grey suede Pums' on
Stay fresh, but I only trap to bring food home
Out here hustlin' but I'm nothing like the lames you've known
Shit's easy, survival was the skill I've honed
I'm not dreaming no more, I'm already grown
& the road I took so dark, can't find my way back to 'em
But you're always in my heart
So I made that song
& when it seems to fall apart
You should play that for 'em

[Hook X2: The Jacka]
They say the good die young
And he taketh away
If n***as talking they don't live it
Then they're forced to pay
I'm just trying to be a man in this poison land
Forgive me father
They forced my hand
