Modern Day Lyrics

Woo
Yeah
(Cannon)
Being black, nigga, it's like a modern day crime
Modern, modern day crime

They say I fell off, I bounced back, I got it in me
Hustle fully automatic dawg, don't do no semi
Seven day grind theory, dawg Hustleveli
That's why I got that thug motivation 'cross my belly
You confusing me with them, dawg, must be a mix up
Lots to celebrate, yeah, pour me up a big cup
Nigga, I ain't dead, I ain't in the penitentiary
All the shit I did, yeah, I could have did a century
Nigga, I was plotting on this in elementary
Third period holding my vision, pockets empty
Please don't tell me I can't do it, that will tempt me
What you know about adversity, I tell 'em plenty

All these chains on, feel like a modern day slave
Ten year sentence, that's a modern day grave
Real estate nigga, that's a modern day flex
Seven figure nigga, that's a modern day check
Self made nigga, that's a modern day grind
Being black, nigga, that's a modern day crime
If he got a badge, that's an modern day opp
Motivation 'cross my belly, like a modern day 'Pac

A soldier dies one time, coward dies a million
Came back reincarnated, what a feeling
Forever I'm immortal, no, you can't kill my spirit
Why they always hating on your name? 'Cause they fear it
Give them all of me like John, I'm a legend
Word to Bush drug war nigga, I'm a veteran
Post-traumatic stress from the pain, I need some morphine
Cash rules everything around me, need some more cream
If I die tonight, wonder if heaven got a ghetto
Me and my girlfriend on brown liquor, getting mellow
Sippin' brown, blowing green, yeah, that thug passion
Y'all thought that I was done-done, that's all a thug asking

All these chains on, feel like a modern day slave
Ten year sentence, that's a modern day grave
Real estate nigga, that's a modern day flex
Seven figure nigga, that's a modern day check
Self made nigga, that's a modern day grind
Being black, nigga, that's a modern day crime
If he got a badge, that's an modern day opp
Motivation 'cross my belly, like a modern day 'Pac

All these chains on, feel like a modern day slave
Like, like a modern day slave
Being black, nigga, it's like a modern day crime
Modern, modern day crime
Self made nigga, that's a modern day grind
Modern day grind
Being black, nigga, it's like a modern day crime
Modern, I'm like a modern day 'Pac
