“Started from them Dope Sales,

On them back blocks,

I was a young n***a in and out the trap spot,

Grindin with me now,

You gon shine with me later,

You don’t like my sound, you a motherf***kin hater

‘Cuz I came up from them Dope Sales,

On them back blocks,

I was a young n***a in and out the trap spot…”
