Lyrics by：Cody Osagie/Damon Coleman/Luther Nicholson/Wyatt Coleman

Composed by：Cody Osagie/Damon Coleman/Luther Nicholson/Wyatt Coleman

Hey Lute can you do me a favor

I need you to talk that talk like it's all a n***a would

Carolina proud of these bars

Rap n***as corny this ain't your only vessel

N***as Flash without the ice they ain't nothing special s**t

You go through levels n***a swear they helped you

Put in the work I promise God gon' bless you

Everyday this what I tell my nephew

I lay low 'cause I can't relate

I'm good at ghosting 'cause I'm that n***a in my creative space

Hurt less when you out the way

You got your fame 'til you not the wave

Shout out my name n***a I'm gon' wave

Never too good to show you where I came

Spit that flame n***a switchin' lane s**t

I spit pain 'cause I'm takin' aim s**t

My brother called said he seen me on the TV screen

When I was sixteen they didn't think I'm pan to be anything

Don't wire checks I want the cash I want my money green

I'm 'bout to flex like I'm Money Team

My old b***hes be perplexed 'cause they ain't support the dreams

D**n

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this I got shooters in my starting five

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this I got shooters in my starting five

Drive-by's where I reside often

Beautiful black lives sit inside of that coffin

We gotta realize it's toxic

Eff a stick-up put the sticks up let's stick together through hardships

We already exhausted

'Cause as long as we're living as living targets to these officers

Now we gotta watch for any signs of us coughing

And I got asthma gotta be cautious

Ironic now I can't run it up show money done turned to no money

Just to sum it up I ain't seen the sun in months

But how can I complain when some fathers ain't seen their sons in months

Some are stuck overseas some are stuck six feet under us

Like even through the downs that we seen we still coming up

That's right

God really be loving us gained strength through pain we toughened up

Yeah gained strength through pain I got that tatted

Been through what I been through

You equipped but I'm not that average nah

If you ain't seen me in months you gon' ask What happened Cozz

I level up daily because I keep my hands to God

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this I got shooters in my starting five

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this ain't no Judas in my starting five

I turned nothing into something water into wine

I really do this I got shooters in my starting five

Keep playing with Dreamville's name

Don't get Chris Rock'd out your socks

Anything can and will happen

Then watch me walk back out my seat

Keep my name out your f**kin' mouth

Gangsta

On this side over here

Godly flows only

Drama

You witnessing the heart of Omen

Everything that y'all release is like DeMar DeRozan

Straight mid but my art is golden

When you dream like I dream see you seem odd

'Til these h*es lookin' at you like they seen God

I'm not God just the best thing that God made

A higher power calling me that goes beyond faith

A strong blessing they calm stressin'

Extraordinary person can't relate to John Legend

You see I speak with my chest like Bobby Fischer

Deep as the Mali River

Understand I'm not a role model figure

Beast with the pen plus my beats like modern Dilla

Peaceful within but I'm still a Chicago n***a

Intellect that I intel got me out of quiet hell

Thought TDK was dead b***h

I'm alive and well

I'm better through the try and fail tell your clientele

I'm just a star who was carved from Orion's Belt

Nonchalant bout homicide when you desensitized

N***as incentivize to keep on stealing lives

Put my pain in perspective while I roll pine

Last few years now I'm back in your starting five

You're witnessing a dynasty like no other

Dreamville
