She's stuck in my brain storm, trying not to get rained on

I put all these rings on and I look like I'm flame throwing
BB F#F#
And I put all my chains on and it look like a snakecharm
E MajorE
I was down on my dick, everybody was hissing
BB F#F#
Now I'm trying to keep these snakes up out my garden
E MajorE
Put your ear up to my safe, the money snoring
BB F#F#
Carolina blue sorta look like Jordan's

Let's get high for Nipsey and pop a blue dolphin
BB F#F#
And yes I gotta keep these snakes up out my garden
E MajorE
But keep that Mamba Mentality regardless
BB F#F#
'Cause I know harder times are waiting for me in the future
E MajorE
All I can do is stay in my lane and put my gear in neutral

I'm caught in a thunderstorm
F#F#
I look up and it's fuckin' pouring
E MajorE
I'ma need me a lucky charm
I need it easier than Sunday morning
BB F#F#
I keep me a firearm 'cause I always think I'm at harm
E MajorE
But it ain't no smokin' over here without ringing my fire alarm
BB
On gang, on God, on moms
F#F#
This life will break you down to crumbs
E MajorE
I was floating on the cloud, I jumped
And when I hit the ground I sunk
BB
Yeah they thought I was down, I'm up
F#F#
I was lost now I'm found, what's up
E MajorE
I came too far to give up
When I was down on my dick
BB F#F#
Everybody was missing, they thought I would miss them

But I got in that kitchen and cooked up this wisdom
BB
I started a system

If you really love your niggas you'd never risk them, yeah
