Underrated Legend (Cadet Tribute) Songtext

Yo
They said I’m royal, what we did was so iconic (So iconic)
Full of energy, was pumps like hydraulics (Like hydraulics)
Never free to lay out what's inside your closet (Never)
Back to back, you come like tails, and now it's Sonic
[?] the other way around, if I'm honest
Spittin' faster flows, you'd always find the pocket
2019, I said that wasn't time for losses
But we lost you and I'm pissed ’cause no one could’ve tried to stop it (Agh)
I wasn't gonna do this, cah for real it hadn’t sunken in
But I just wanna let the universe know that I fucked a fiend (On God)
He tried to knock you for your freestyles, you was hustling
On the way to legend, man for years a nigga struggling
Rest in peace, man I hate to use them words (Rest in peace)
Now bro you finally had the break that you deserve
Today I'm really gonna try to face and it hurts
But I promise I'll go hard for you, on God I'll make it work
When I first got the news, I thought it was all for publicity
I wasn’t tryna hear it, like "Cuz, are you kiddin' me?" Til the next morning, I prayed that was a stunt (Trust)
And Lord, you really gonna take away that mother's son? (Why?)
And when we went Hyde Park, it really touch home
Everybody there for you because you really touch souls (Just for you)
Man I got love for Krept and I command your mother strength (Word)
Until the whole of your squad, it's not about respect
You don't know my story, better close your mouth, uh
Fell out with some niggas, that I swore to God, I'll never blow it far
I'm kinda antisocial now (Antisocial now)
I can't trust a soul, growin' up I did some shit that I couldn't let my mother know
Survival of the fittest, I'm still grindin' with my niggas
Took that knife out the kitchen, I weren't tryna be a victim (Nah)
Ask my nigga, aren't you tired of how we livin'?
But this life is full of risks, man free my guys out the system (Free the guys)
Shooters haffi shoot and the trappers haffi trap
But that ain't the life you lived, why these rappers have to cap? (Why they cappin'?)
Double figures, tryna make it back to back (Back to back)
I've been really livin', now it's back to rap (Back to rap)
And I'm still holdin' feelings (Uh)
'Cause niggas really said they love you, they don't know the meaning (They don't know)
And I'm still cautious, I get anxious when approachin' demons
Before my bros told me, it's colors there ain't no redeemin' (No)
So here's a toast to freedom (Uh)
Come free from these fake ass niggas, kept it real but they lied up in my face ass niggas (Face ass niggas)
Never gonna change ass niggas (Never gonna change)
Still got nuttin' else to say ass niggas
This pain I know (Pain)
And everywhere I step, I pray I make it home
And darg, you ain't bad, you better change your tone
Unless you're makin' money, better stay at home 'cause prison ain't a place to go (Trust)
So fuck the politics, let's focus on the positive
Ain't holdin' onto promises, you know this feels astonishing
See a brother shine and that should motivate
Instead they watchin' every move and then they go to hate (Hater)
Keep your circle tight (Tight)
And if she ride or die, then I make her my wife
Ain't no food up in the fridge so niggas turn to crime
How come like trappin' is the only way to earn a dime? 'Cause they ain't 'bout that workin' life
And I'm steady goin' (Goin')
But I'm still going through dilemmas like I'm Kelly Rowland (Rowland)
I've burned that bridge and life got better, it's already showin' (Showin')
I put my [?] from the ground, and that's forever growin' (Growin')
You're at the top and they just keep on tellin' lies about you (Facts)
She say she hates you but she still can't spend no time without you (Facts)
He ain't your bro if you got touched and he ain't ridin' for you (Facts)
Now fuck the place and fuck the time, my G I'm slidin' for you (I'm slidin')
And G that's real love (That's real love)

Rest in peace my brother Cadet
Rest in peace Nipsey
Rest in peace all the fuckin' legends
