lyrics

I've been building gardens out the gutter
I've been building gardens out the gutter
They've got things to start but they don't want it
They've got things to start but they don't want it
I go get it, they can’t take it from me
Listen, we all know that time is money
Let me connect some dots for your homie
Time ain’t a thing for me, time is nothing
I've been building gardens out the gutter
They've got things to start but they don't want it
They don’t want it, nah


Always had to find opportunities
Learned early nobody cares what is due to me
Aye
Got info if you can do the fee
How I get it isn’t something for you to see
Aye
Been the plug on all the goods
Only option, never been understood
At the bottom where they say we’re worthless at best
Something they won’t approach and say with their chests
I’m the one who’s had to hold it down
Everybody looking out for me’s gotten got, I just know that they’re not around
Nobody’s standing up for my people if it isn’t me, I gotta stand my ground
Went from working for Benzo
To needing Benzos
Someone calm me down

I've been building gardens out the gutter
I've been building gardens out the gutter
They've got things to start but they don't want it
They've got things to start but they don't want it
I go get it, they can’t take it from me
Listen, we all know that time is money
Let me connect some dots for your homie
Time ain’t a thing for me, time is nothing
I've been building gardens out the gutter
They've got things to start but they don't want it
They don’t want it, nah

I can never be defined
Not when you know that these streets mine
Not when I pull up with the Z Drive
That means anytime is always me time
Seen too many folks who care for me die
Good people now reduced to street slime
New leaders have us on a decline
I knew when I was a tot
One day that I would be calling the shots
Whoa
Mask on, mask off
how I move ensures that no one forgot
Whoa
Look at the beauty I build
At the risk of getting the homies killed
Somebody’s gotta make a home for us
So I just do what I must
For real

I've been building gardens out the gutter
I've been building gardens out the gutter
They've got things to start but they don't want it
They've got things to start but they don't want it
I go get it, they can’t take it from me
Listen, we all know that time is money
Let me connect some dots for your homie
Time ain’t a thing for me, time is nothing
I've been building gardens out the gutter
They've got things to start but they don't want it
They don’t want it, nah
