(Fam, I just been losin' my marbles, fam
I-I gotta Glock four five
I been goin' got, fam
I been rolling with some Yemenese kids)

A bottle of lean, a gun to your jeans, and a little faith in me
A plane in the sky, the only starlight on this never-ending street
The cameras and cops they coulda been stars on our mother's new screens
On our mother's new screens

All of these traps, and all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

(I been, I been tryna keep my cool fam, before I lose it)

These colors and flags, the sweat on your back
You're doing what you can
Pride in your hand, a price on your head, you can never let them win
Just put down that bottle, tell me your sorrows
I care about you fam
I care about you fam, oh-woah

All of these traps, and all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

(But me I'm just tryna keep my head above water, man)

And if they take it all away
Our freedom and our hearts and that glow in your face
I'll remind you who were before it changed (I'll remind you who were)

All of these traps, and all of these street signs
None of them will be yours or mine
But I'll be your empire (your empire)
Just stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

(But me I'm just tryna keep my head above waters, man)
