Look, huh...
Verse 1:
Doctor said I wouldn't make it!
First night would be my last night, the beginning of the end for little David,
Family going crazy, Grandma praying on all that's sacred, Pop's saw the strength in my eyes told momma "he can take it"!
Fast forward to the current me, "who rep the city if it weren't me?"
currently deterrents try to bury the only art form insuring that we get out version of the story, and it ain't just One sided or One colored, cant generalize black men describing One brotha, most ignorant or misguided with One mother,
Understand greatness has no hue, the true minority, only a few have it within, to be a Slim or a Nas or a Me nigga, Thrice Authentic, "Dago what it be nigga?!"
If you want me you can find me by the sea, with a ice cold Corona right under a palm tree nigga, Uh!
Hook:
One pound fifteen ounces,
had a premature start now the gifts seem countless,
had to steal to get a meal, slept on fifteen couches
they ain't built to persevere nigga, they ain't 'bout this life...
Verse 2:
Started out an underdog, cards stacked against me,
Obstacles and set backs, like you, iv'e had plenty,
but i'm thinking one of the reasons the man above sent me was to speak the truth in a manner the opposite of gently,
It was only about a century that my Great Grandfather hopped on a boat to charter his way to New B,
Cabo Verde in my blood nigga, creolo for dolo, i show respect, Conta di Ojo on my neck,
This is for my Ancestors, protesters, progresses, God Bless us all so fuck all the oppressors,
My new baby daughter, man shes so precious, I wont let her be poisoned by your hoe message,
No possession, is worth a life of stressing, second guessing, live in the moment, man i'm so present,
So aware, wide awake, the sun's peaking through my blinds,
Another day, another chance to shine, nigga uh!
Hook:
One pound fifteen ounces,
had a premature start now the gifts seem countless,
had to steal to get a meal, slept on fifteen couches,
they ain't 'bout this life...
