Last Breath Breathe

Intro — sung/melodic, soft autotune

(Yeah... Lil Tjay...) (Woo...)

I wrote this for my day ones, hope you hear me though

Still the same lil' youngin' from the block, I never let it go (Ah...)

Hook — sung, melodic, emotional

They said I wouldn't make it out, but look at me now (Woo)

Kept the faith when all this shit was falling down (facts)

Lost some brothers on the way, that pain never leaves (Lil Tjay...)

Still I'm ridin' for my niggas 'til my last breath breathe (Woo, woo...)

Said I'm ridin' for my niggas 'til my last breath breathe

Verse 1 — melodic rap, faster flow, emotional delivery

Started from the bottom of the projects, on God

Mama workin' double shifts just tryna beat the odds (facts)

Used to sleep on empty stomachs, shit was never fair

Now I'm eatin' good but I still feel that hunger there

Lost my homie to these streets, that shit should never been (Ah...)

Told him watch his fuckin' back but I'll never see him again

Every time I hop on stage I swear I feel him in the crowd (Woo)

Got so much pain bottled up, I gotta scream it loud

These niggas was hatin' in the dark but now the lights on me

Said they loved me all along but half them bitches phony (Lil Tjay...) Stayed loyal to the game, stayed true to my story

Now I'm out here shinin' bright, reppin' for the glory (Woo, woo...)

Hook — sung, melodic, emotional

They said I wouldn't make it out, but look at me now (Woo)

Kept the faith when all this shit was falling down (facts)

Lost some brothers on the way, that pain never leaves (Lil Tjay...)

Still I'm ridin' for my niggas 'til my last breath breathe (Woo, woo...)

Said I'm ridin' for my niggas 'til my last breath breathe

Verse 2 — more introspective, slowing melodic flow

Everybody smile in your face when you winnin' (Ah...)

But where the fuck was y'all when I was just beginnin'?

Raised up in the struggle, couldn't see no endin' (Woo)

Broke as hell, cold nights, damn near couldn't spend it

Used to pray to God just hoping shit would change

Now I'm on the Billboard, life ain't the same (facts)

Still I carry every scar like a badge on my chest (Lil Tjay...)

Every setback hit different but it put me to the test

Mama always told me, "Baby, don't you ever fold"

Now I'm livin' out her dreams, got stories to be told

For the block, for my brothers, for the ones who couldn't stay (Ah...)

Fuck the ops, I'm holdin' down my people every day (Woo...)

Outro — fading, sung softly with adlibs layered

(Yeah... this one for the block...)

(Woo... Lil Tjay...)

(Ah... on God...)

(We made it out this bitch... woo...)
