I'm in my zone, my soldiers like to stand by Never alone, about to make the drums cry Gangsta, gangsta yes I'll testify Said I wouldn't make it, I passed them by and by Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder Take a look through my mind You'll see I'm getting wiser Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder Thank God for building me stronger Life's went somewhere My grind is steady Got my money right, my mind been ready Flow is deadly, they just don't get me Please stay with me, follow my life Been around the world twice came back To the spot that I like I'm on top, on top of the charts On the tip of they tongues, the top of they hearts They love me and I love them back The boomerang effect is a fact You act like you don't hear me talkin' You act like you don't see me here Well I've always been around Sometimes up and sometimes down Was forced to speak my mind Just brought a 9 to protect my life I'm no ordinary girl Gangsta, gangsta yes I'll testify Said I wouldn't make it, I passed them by and by Peep if you will you'll find me grinding harder Take a look through my mind You'll see I'm getting wiser Take a look at the world and see it's getting colder Thank God for building me stronger I find it hard to be like most women, most sisters I want the truth don't play no games I hide my pride with a smile As I walk pass the snakes, the fakers Somebody cut their wind, haters don't let 'em in My uncle June saw life flash before his eyes My aunt Anne saw her face in the sky Now did you hear me on Family Ties?
