[Verse 1: Young Noble]
Man (Man)
Never judge a book by it's cover (Never)
Every verse of this thug shit, is still with substance (True story)
You either knockin' down or buildin' up shit (You buildin')
You either rockin' now or gonna give' up then (Man)
I play to win, sixteens hot to scorch (Hot to scorch)
Stood firm in the fire (Fire) Never dropped the torch (Never)
You don't know (No) What I've been through to get this far (Get this far)
Fightin' the world with my pencil (Man)
Tryna beats the odds (The odds)
Still I rise, yet they seem surprised (Damn)
See that's the demon inside, just spirit of god
You can see him in my eyes, can't walk these shoes (Walk these shoes)
You ain't paid these dues (Paid these dues)
Can't wear these scars (Wear these scars)
My tribulations from God (From God)
Some situations get hard, but we gon' weather the storm (Storm)
We kept on pushin' along (Pushin' along)
Singin' a warrior song (Warrior song)
Outlaw for life (Yeah) To the grave and beyond (C'mon)
The movement still movin' they ain't think we make it this far (Damn)

[Chorus: Young Noble]
I do this for my family and my dead homies (Homies)
In the physical and spiritual they rootin' for me (Rootin' for me)
Young and black feel like the whole world gunnin' for me (Gunnin' for me)
Tell me how you judge me? You don't even know me (Know me)
I do this for my family and my dead homies (Homies)
In the physical and spiritual they rootin' for me (Rootin' for me)
Young and black feel like the whole world gunnin' for me (Gunnin' for me)
How the fuck you judge me? You don't even know me!
[Verse 2: Deuce Deuce]
I ain't complain when it rain, there's beauty in pain
Sometimes you gotta lose to gain, choose a lane
Don't quit, when the shit get thick
When the clip gon' jam, will you stand by your man?
Will you still consider him fam'?
I ain't never jumped ship, when it started to sink
Stayed deep in it, both feet in it, knee deep
Lost sleep, a fool seeks solace in false comfort
I solemnly swear to keep it one hunnid
Nothin' less all substance, to my dearly departed
I'm just tryna finish what I started
I had dreams (Dreams) That turned to nightmares
Had my share more than one can possibly bare
Don't ask how and why (Don't ask) I'm still standing here (Standin')
Never squirm, standin' firm when the smoke clears (Clears)
You can love with one in your dome, take it in blood
They fakin' the funk, gain fuck of it, makin' amok
Touch mine I'm takin' your paws
Nobody wanna work they just want the results
Compare me to none forget what you deserve, what you negotiate
All fam', no friends and some associates
Grow the fuck up! (Fuck up)

[Chorus: Young Noble]
I do this for my family and my dead homies (Homies)
In the physical and spiritual they rootin' for me (Rootin' for me)
Young and black feel like the whole world gunnin' for me (Gunnin' for me)
Tell me how you judge me? You don't even know me (Know me)
I do this for my family and my dead homies (Homies)
In the physical and spiritual they rootin' for me (Rootin' for me)
Young and black feel like the whole world gunnin' for me (Gunnin' for me)
How the fuck you judge me? You don't even know me!
