Loyal to the Soil I - Wolf King

That money stack tall but only partially my focus So compassionate, struggle hard for me to cope with Do a lot for others, not for credit or to soak in But to have an impact on direction that they go in Grounded by the roots, hooked to the soil Recognize the rumble that we're in, yeah it's royal Crabs in the barrel, wrapped up in foil Kids grow up scars that are rubbed now with oil And life done changed a bit but I can't grow apart For those in my position that don't feel me, grow a heart I grew up round love but we had a slower start Hooping on the tree and fighting at the park Luckily we had guidance, we was more blessed than others We was the deepest family, nobody had more cousins The street lights would flicker everybody running no huddle Cause if you didn't make it everybody got in trouble I won't let that money define me I let my struggles refine me I know my angels behind me Young, rich, and in the sticks tryna find peace I ain't get high and I ain't sell dope People ask "why?" I did it for my folks Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke Uh, chin to the clouds, all 10 on solid ground Sipping purple Whitney Houston, never touch the Bobby Brown When it comes to the crown, I done dreadlocked it down Rest in peace my daddy Rabbit, he in Heaven hopping 'round I been outchea on the grind, I want mine on time Keep it a hundred, not even 99.9 It's Lil Tunechi the best rapper alive I rep five, invite your girl to my suite at the Loews, she left high Oh my in a double R, I'm re-ready to die My pockets fat as Precious but what's more precious than time Cause life is too short, I got that from Too $hort Couldn't ball, I was too short But rich, like I play two sports Flag red like scarlet Keep my head in my wallet Leave the BS in the toilet Leave the BS on the Charmin With TF on my garments I wear Trukfit like Ralph Lauren And I'm loyal to my soil Straight from hell, I mean New Orleans Tunechi I won't let that money define me I let my struggles refine me I know my angels behind me Young, rich, and in the sticks tryna find peace I ain't get high and I ain't sell dope People ask "why?" I did it for my folks Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke They said you wanna make it so here's the keys to survival Get you a work ethic, go about it maniacal Carry your family, all the great ones on that Mariah flow Come to the neighborhood, show a kid to throw a spiral All about your time, that's the best thing to give A message from the distance hardly ever stay in ear Gotta keep a presence even with your relatives Cause we all carry gifts like Santa and the deers I come through with no security I grew up in the slums ain't no fear in me Now the lames come and go and no forgetting me They in love with the life and I don't know Billie Jean Look at my demeanor, see loyalty in my background Love me cause I'm solid, not because I became a cash cow Tryna make jobs for younglings, that's on the ave now That's why I can't have a barbecue and don't have a pat down I won't let that money define me I let my struggles refine me I know my angles behind me Young, rich, and in the sticks tryna find peace I ain't get high and I ain't sell dope People ask "why?" I did it for my folks Wanna slice the pie then you gotta have hope Take the plan serious or watch it go in smoke Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke Watch it go in smoke, watch it go in smoke
