[Hook] When I was just a young'un I had dreams of riding twenties Chilling with my homies and we all in our twenties Better than expected, we ain't locked up doing twenty Out here trying to get it while we living in our twenties Counting hella twenties, counting hella twenties I was playing 2K and beat a nigga by twenty Chilling with the vets, even though I'm still a rookie Got a lot of living left, trying to get it in my twenties
[Verse 1] Rockie Fresh is still the truth, when they doubt I show 'em proof Started at the flow, then my flow took me through the roof Put money into my future, could've bought a coupe And now Nike gave me shoes, and I ain't got a hoop A lot of people always ask me how I did this I tell 'em I work hard, then I try to mind my business Do the best I can, but I cannot grant your wishes And I burn a lot of trees, but I never burn bridges And the reason I be smoking, cause some shit blow me to no end The old me would go in, but I'm older now and I'm growing Yeah, the old me would go in But right now I can't trip, cause I know I'm going
[Hook]
[Verse 2] And I'm still doing what I choose, getting paid, paying dues Go by one rule: what it is never lose Bape army, I'm a troop, stepping hard like a Nupe Big blunt blowing, you would think a nigga played the flute Losers not in my crew, little homie you can scoop You ain't talking money then you might as well be put on mute Fiending a financial conversation And I'm too focused, I can't even see no confrontation Now they put me in the basement, I'm so high so I ain't with it That is no place for the young, fly, and gifted And when I was a shawty that's how I thought I would get it Started as a dream, now I really get to live it
