I paid dues brudda this pain is expensive

I broke rules I made do what other couldn't do

I mean it's cool to rap

But homie I ain't new to that

I study IT own a brand and speak the truest raps

I got two kids under 25 I'm a youthful dad

I told my wifey get too attached ain't no moving back

College grad so that must mean I'm a class act

Dropped out to make fast cash

Told my momma I ain't going back to school

I'll make my own path

She said you a dumba'

I put the fam on my shoulders I got a hunchback

No more demons I'm finally breathing

I haunt the devil herself while she sleeping

Just so I can get even

No more weakness

No more weeping

My allegiance to the most high

Now I'll never be defeated

I upgraded from mob ties to soul ties

Told me I wouldn't blow until pigs fly

I made that pork grind

Why you think I went offline for a long time

Why you think I'm so on time

For every punchline

No R&B I couldn't tie for all my dolla signs

I needed every dub to stay alive

I know you heard that crunch time man it's crunch time

This life ain't getting cheaper dawg it's crunch time

My homie finally made it the pros it's crunch time

My daughter due in November homie it's crunch time

My daughter due in November homie it's crunch time

Crunch time crunch time

I got to get it popping cause it's crunch time

It's crunch time, it's crunch time

I don't even got to say much man it's crunch time

This ain't for double taps and the repost

Lethal flows don't gas me like diesel

I already know Marco is C4 like the goat

Every decision I ever made was for the c notes

Every decision I ever made was for my hijo

Watered my own grass I can see my seeds grow

Wide awake but I can do this with me eyes closed

I'm 23 with the free throws

24 I'm a cheat code

Turned 25 matured in ways only my

Mom and pops could ever see though

They all saying wow look at you go Marcito

I don't want to be be recognized I rather stack up my payments

I don't want to be be famous I seen the greatest go crazy

I mean Ye is amazing but Ye been tripping lately

The rich ain't role models

They all got they own problems

The money just won't solve it

The drugs and pill popping

Don't mean that you been popping

Just cause you can afford it don't mean you should cop it

Pay your rent before your J's don't hustle backwards

Be smart with your profits

Consider your options

Lately College degrees ain't been sitting right with me

A 100 g's for info I can get for free

Who's getting rich off of me

I peeped the trickery

This gon put food on the table who gonna buy my groceries

I mean my baby gotta eat this formula ain't getting cheap

I went and found it nothing given cause t

This grind was always in me

Always hustling I made my own decisions

At the end of the year we had enough for Christmas

No presents for your father cause your dad was always gifted

No lesson learned without some pain my father taught me that

No pain without some risk but handle that cause

You a man it's your job to shield the fam

It's your job to heal the fam be your children Superman

This life ain't getting cheaper dawg it's crunch time

My homie finally made it the pros it's crunch time

My daughter due in November homie it's crunch time

Kaliyah due in November homie it's crunch time

Crunch time, crunch time

My son just turned one homie it's crunch time

Crunch time, crunch time

I got to do it for the fam homie it's crunch time
