[00:11.921]Started from the ground, building to the sky now
[00:14.990]Watch it fall down, but how you gon’ survive now?
[00:18.212]Yeah, it’s cold blood in a *****
[00:21.210]The streets left no love in a *****
[00:23.663][Verse 1: Yo Gotti]
[00:26.483]In a *****, yeah, no love in a *****
[00:29.504]If I could paint a picture, I'd show a image
[00:32.458]Of a dog ass *****, yeah, a raw ass *****
[00:35.476]Popping pain killers, riding for the cause
[00:38.220]Four dogs with them pistols, na-na-natural born killers
[00:41.165]He sold crack to his mother, turned his back on his brothers
[00:43.934]Killed his partner for the plug, he think everything a hustle
[00:46.980]Co-cold mu'*****, holmes numb
[00:50.852]Black heart, no feelings, just a gun, fo'real
[00:53.318]He was raised in the trenches
[00:54.767]Not to mention all the hoes that had dissed him
[00:56.678]So holmes think the whole world against him
[00:58.850]Played ball, coach benched him, grandpa, Klan lynched him
[01:01.973]He was raised in Mississippi but he moved up to Memphis
[01:04.784]Kinda hard to adapt
[01:08.540]So holmes turned to a strap
[01:10.833]Didn't succeed, tried rap, couldn't fight, got slapped
[01:13.617]Shot dice, do crap, did time, back out, damn
[01:17.022][Hook: Canei Finch]
[01:17.515]And from the ground, we build it to the sky now
[01:19.956]Watch it fall down, how you gon’ survive now?

[01:40.784][Verse 2: J. Cole]
[01:41.259]Hey, no love, no love
[01:43.090]How you gon' survive now? No love, no love
[01:45.069]Yo Gotti, lemme paint a picture for these *****s, hey, huh
[01:46.065]Here’s a voice for the voiceless
[01:48.232]My words like multiple choice to the choiceless
[01:49.625]Emerge like a searchlight in the darkness for this young black carcass
[01:55.599]My *****s either join the Armed Forces or they corpses now
[01:58.590]In God we trust, but it’s bucks that we worship now
[02:01.435]Boy, that root of evil gon’ forever rule the people
[02:03.980]See I seen just what that fast money gon’ come and do to people
[02:06.845]Hit a lick, it was a hit, he said, “Let's go and do the sequel”
[02:10.047]But his, ***** wasn’t ‘bout it, ***** wasn’t ‘bout it now
[02:13.316]Feeling guilty, what would momma think about me?
[02:15.908]Told 'em, "Think about it, *****, won't you think about it now?"
[02:19.252]But he was money hungry, plus he trigger happy
[02:21.813]So they hopped up in the Caddy, burners packed just like a stadium
[02:24.853]Thirty minutes later, blood is leaking at the ATM
[02:27.910]Momma in denial, like her baby boy on trial
[02:30.663]For a murder that he ain’t commit, tears soak the handkerchief
[02:34.116][Hook: Canei Finch]
[02:34.571]And from the ground, we build it to the sky now
[02:36.941]Watch it fall down, how you gon’ survive now?

[03:03.614]Lights off, no candles, roaches all around the kitchen
[03:06.264]***** hungry, mom embarrassed so she don't want us to mention it
[03:09.267]Grandma wanna help but momma ego kicking in
[03:12.208]She a hustler, she don’t need no help raising her kids
[03:15.436]Bills came, got evicted, stayed strong
[03:18.125]****** business, she ain’t never shown weakness, real ****
[03:21.484]That created the hunger, and that make the monsters
[03:25.033]Got the game from our momma, that’s some ill ****
[03:27.369]Thirteen on the block, he was a lookout
[03:30.296]In the kitchen, on the stove like it’s a cookout
[03:33.264]Young ***** doctored the game, could put a book out
[03:36.271]Right when he thought it was over he got took out
[03:39.346]Brains leaking, ***** sneaked him, he ain't even seen it coming
[03:42.513]He a hitta, he wasn't focus so he died over nothing
[03:45.849]No revenge, with his friends shooting dice
[03:47.970]Bet again, win or lose, take it all, took out by his own men
[03:51.597][Hook: Canei Finch]
[03:51.913]And from the ground, we build it to the sky now
