He say he with T.Y on the highway and some niggas just tried to him Emptied the clip on the car, but somehow they hit him Sometimes I fuckin' hate Chicago, 'cause I hate feelin' Innocent niggas get at, in the broad day, the A.M I asked him for a play-by-play of how their day went He he went to XSport, and they ran a full court And I can not retort thinkin' that this can't be the reason So what you do? What Ty? Is he still cool? Where were you on way from, And where were you on way to? He say he just for dinner at a friend crib, and that's it He say "Tahj, do shit but smoke, honestly Saba, that's it" Give him sympathy, another of mistaken identity The news gon' run this, as two gangs from different streets questionin' him like he just shot at a trooper My boy away unharmed, And we did Lollapalooza, Six months by, everyday we celebrate, everyday a better day I dropped Bucket List, Walter 'bout to drop a tape Everything goin' perfect, couldn't paint a way PIVOT is on the way, we just sold out Lincoln Hall Then I went to talk to I got back home and got on it, 'Cause was doin' tour dates me links to songs that he made, Kid Cudi, we are not ridin' no waves, aye Grandma us blanky plates, we played 2K, that's just a day before Fatimah got a show tomorrow, he text me, "We in hoe" I went to the barbershop, the thing the next morning Then I got up Legit, we supposed to do some recording 10 minutes this session, I got a call from a number That I don't got saved, but I answer She says, Hello, Malik, have you or to my son today?
