Praises Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
I told these niggas
I'm never gon' stop, uh
Ché Butter Queen in this bitch
Yeah
When I'm done with this shit, look
I'm goin' down as the greatest
And that's facts, nigga
Yeah (Look)

[Verse 1]
I'm sleepin' less and I'm workin' more
Became a genius from speakin' less and just learnin' more
Came with a knife in my hand, in life gotta earn what's yours
And never had time for a man I had to be perfect for
Murder, death, violence, guns, drugs, I seen it close
These bars like a breath of fresh air, you either gon' breath or choke
If rap was a bitch, I got this shit by its teeth and throat
It used to be a foot, but now it's a string of rope
God on my heart, I felt betrayal from people I can't get past
Niggas crossed so many lines that it made a graph
Food for thought, bitch, I made a meal from crumbs on my plate
From eatin' just to get full to eatin' just for the taste
Them niggas said they had my back, but had my blood on they blade
What's on they brain with cash flip us, couldn't last with us
Was broke tryna think of ways to get my stacks thicker
Had to take a gamble on my life like a craps dealer, uh
[Chorus]
When I'm finished, I'm goin' down as the greatest
In my blood, that Buffalo shit, we made it
Hard work and talent, it made us famous
But the Lord I gotta give all my praises
Beat us down, the cops lock us in cages
On the streets where the bullets fly and they nameless
Lose your mind and the pistol can make you brainless
When I'm finished, I'm goin' down as the greatest (Yeah, yo)

[Verse 2]
Was the youngest of my crew, so they judged me off my moves
But they don't understand my pain 'cause they don't come from where I grew How much they give you just depends if your skin either black or white
Now niggas reap the benefits off the shit that I sacrifice
Made a promise at the age of six to be the best and make it rich
Coulda spent my money on clothes, instead I made it flip
They tried usin' me as they crutch, so I made 'em sit
They squeezin' hair triggers so much they coulda made a wig
Damn, I cried enough tears for a lifetime
I lost my friend and brother in the same year, couldn't hide my
Emotions, been the darkest times of my life, I had to face fear
Took my pain and wrote on a page and made it Shakespeare
I'm too unbothered, so it's a challenge gettin' me mad
Tired of givin' all of me to people that's givin' me half
Never kept they word, they expose theyself by they memory
Yeah, and most of 'em told me more than they did for me, that's facts
[Chorus]
When I'm finished, I'm goin' down as the greatest
In my blood, that Buffalo shit, we made it
Hard work and talent, it made us famous
But the Lord I gotta give all my praises
Beat us down, the cops lock us in cages
On the streets where the bullets fly and they nameless
Lose your mind and the pistol can make you brainless
When I'm finished, I'm goin' down as the greatest

[Outro]
Yeah, bitch, I'm goin' down as the greatest
Yeah, bitch, I'm goin' down as the greatest
Uh, yeah, when I'm finished, I'm goin' down as the— uh
When I'm finished, I'm— greatest
'Cause a pistol can make you brainless
Hahaha, yo
When I'm finished, I'm goin' down as the greatest
