00:00:01.400 --> 00:00:05.200
If you ask me, since Harlem, our
family's always been like
00:00:05.300 --> 00:00:09.800
It's been the best of times, it
was the worst of times (Worst)
00:00:09.900 --> 00:00:11.600
I needed a sign
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:15.100
2008, my mother passes away (RIP)
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:17.400
I'm at rock bottom
00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:20.400
Dave's with me through my mother's
situation (Yeah, I was)
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.200
But he's still playin' basketball, he's
doing his thing (Yeah, I was)
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.400
Two years later, he gives me a call
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.500
He's hit rock bottom (Yeah, I did)
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:30.500
He's gettin' kicked out of school
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.800
He has another dream: to rap
00:00:33.900 --> 00:00:36.500
He tells me he needs to
come back to New York
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.900
And if he has this opportunity,
he's gonna make it
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.900
I knew I was already strugglin', I
didn't even want him to come back
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.400
And be in the streets, I didn't want
him to get into any bullshit
00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:50.200
We didn't really have much, na'mean?
We were just together
00:00:50.300 --> 00:00:53.000
All we had was each other
and his dream
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.800
I look back now, I think of
6E, that front door (Pals)
00:00:57.900 --> 00:01:03.300
Right by the staircase, perfect place,
that back room I grew up in
00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.200
He's been such an inspiration
to so many
00:01:06.300 --> 00:01:10.400
People see the grind and the
pain, the struggle he's
gone through (Right)
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:12.700
That we've been through (Right)
00:01:12.800 --> 00:01:15.300
But this is for everybody
out there (Yeah, it is)
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:20.900
Lookin', thinkin', dreamin', everybody
needs a sign (Yeah, they do)
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:35.800
Sometimes you can't see it yourself
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.800
You need a sign, need some help
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:43.500
We know we guilty but we gon' act
like we innocent (On God)
00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:46.300
My Glock was filthy, need disinfectant
to get it in (Oh, God)
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.200
My grandpops was an immigrant,
never a citizen (Never)
00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:52.100
They expect me to vote, told my mother,
I needed Ritalin (Crazy)
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.900
Was born crazy, (Lost) I never felt
like I was normal (Never)
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.900
The sun shine bright after it rain,
that's what the storm do (Right)
00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:00.800
Roll a blunt and wish I could trade
places with Freaky (Malik)
00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.700
Until I sit and realize my daughter
really need me (On God)
00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:06.700
I had to cut ties with my closest,
niggas is greedy (Greedy)
00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:09.600
You can see the pain in my eyes
as soon as you see me (Look)
00:02:09.700 --> 00:02:12.500
Aladdin had me tryna make wishes,
wasn't no genies (None)
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.500
Halal if I was talkin' bout lambs,
no Lamborghinis (None)
00:02:15.600 --> 00:02:18.700
We was really starvin', in my
aunty crib hearin' Marvin
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.700
Had to travel the world to realize
nowhere like Harlem (Nowhere)
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.700
I tried to keep my distance
from niggas that's scared
of problems (Scared)
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.600
Them niggas realize you food, then anywhere,
they'll rob him (Anywhere)
00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:30.500
You ever tuck in your jewelry?
Then you don't need to shine
(You don't need it)
00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:33.500
All the money in the world won't
bring you peace of mind (Nope)
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:36.400
All them chains don't matter,
they hate to see you shine
00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:39.300
Was lost, prayin' to God,
beggin' him, like, "I need
a sign" (I need one)
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.400
Show me how to do it when ain't
nothin' workin' (Workin')
00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:45.300
I just hope that I don't shoot
if we meet up in person (God)
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.200
Now they ask my feature price, they
never wanted verses (God)
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:51.200
Now I live a different life, can't
see my mother workin' (On God)
00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:54.200
Should I rob 'em? Should I shoot 'em?
I just need a sign (I need one)
00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:57.000
You know I've been goin' through it,
just give me a sign (Don't blow it)
00:02:57.100 --> 00:03:00.000
I promise we all could do it, I just
need some time (I promise)
00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:02.900
Should I continue with this music?
Just give me a sign (Tell)
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.800
Thinkin' 'bout the day when
I won't need to rhyme
00:03:05.900 --> 00:03:08.800
She tryna lie on me or she love me?
I just need a sign (I needed one)
00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:11.700
I close my eyes and pray, like,
"I just need a sign" (Pray)
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.700
I listen to what you tell me,
I can't read your mind
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:18.000
I need a sign, I need to blind 'em, eh
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:19.600
Before the diamonds
00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:23.000
Though I've been live,
I set my timin', eh
00:03:23.100 --> 00:03:25.300
Ain't no silver lining
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.400
They can't control me,
fuck your controllers
00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:31.300
Lost in the sofa least every mornin'
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:37.700
I'm takin' over, fuck these
emotions, all the signs
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:41.200
Hey, niggas callin' like
we homies now, not
00:03:41.300 --> 00:03:44.000
I bet they stop with all that
trollin' now, blocked
00:03:44.100 --> 00:03:49.700
Made that rooftop into a floor
for now, it's a sign
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:52.900
Now it's Rolls when we
rollin' out, drop
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.400
Fuck a lease, I gotta
buy the block, block
00:03:55.500 --> 00:04:02.000
Fuck them people, there's a bottom
line, no need to sign
00:04:02.100 --> 00:04:04.500
My man died before we talked,
ain't get to speak in time
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:07.500
Them grams had them smokers lookin'
like a sneaker line
00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:10.400
My little man don't wanna
rumble, so he keep a 9
00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:13.300
Not breakin' it down, keepin' this
pot, shit, this peace of mind...........
