inspired by this life so i'd like to raise a toast,
 to my day zeros & people who’ve seen the growth how i started from the bottom & still had to start it over,
died a few times my exes acting like they seen a ghost popping bottles while some models drop it low i need a ride or die to come & pop it for me i broke the glass ceiling, got up off the floor as high as i be high, they still call me _lo phone on airplane mode out on another coast city of angels on demon time in a rover Imen tucking 3.5 in every roll Ethiopian Airlines, we flying up the road, hustlers on the rise but still got it for the low blues under these green thumbs
look how we made it grow straight out of the mud where dirty cups getting poured up, don't blow my high or else i'm hanging up the phone, & i ain't calling back, you drop the ball, i ain't picking up, i'm falling back came from slim pickings, wasn't picky, needed all of that, ever since my first plug fronted me the starter pack... needed all of that, ever since my first plug fronted me the starter pack, all about these ends from the beginning, needed all of that, ever since my first plug fronted me the starter pack (you heard?)

i got a suite with a view to sleep alone i know, i know, you hate when we hang up the phone i know, i know, i stay O.T. & ain't been home but before i come & break you off i gotta make my own (feel me?) so state to state, i'm on the road i ain't in the field to play the field i'm tryna make this grow don't wanna keep you waiting on me so i'm kicking down some doors that fronted on me way too long while i had to have my back all on my own, get acrobatic, flip the pack all on my own, then make it stack & run it back all on my own stay on my feet & not just sit my ass at home yeah, the trees were loud the breeze was calm too many nights was like a war i praise the dawn woke up with a dream woke up with some hope woke up with the music speaking to my soul i made a song, yeah, the trees were loud the breeze was calm i lit up one for nipsey on my marathon woke up with a dream woke up with some hope woke up with the music speaking to my soul i made a song... i sang a song, i carried on, i ain’t mean to break your heart or miss your calls you was blowing up my phone, calling me out my name, baby come on, you kept asking what i’m on, alright, i’ll tell you, since you really have to know i got a suite with a view to sleep alone i know, i know, you hate when we hang up the phone i know, i know, i stay O.T. & ain't been home but before i come & break you off i gotta make my own

it wasn’t no cellphones i had to go knock on the door to see if the homies could come outside, i’m from that era… i’m talking ‘bout back in the daze acid wash denim with the fade, Starter Jacket straight from Eastbay if you had money, you had the matching J’s just getting back to my ways just getting back on the page feeling like i’m stuck in my ways until it’s up, up & away until it’s up, up & away up & away, up, up & away i'm from that era a Starter jacket was worth your life it was dangerous to walk around with some matching Flights popular amongst the street hustlers working nights long nights, making sure nobody short the price, it was on sight, never for no likes hand-to-hand transactions not with your device we wuz throwing dice, surviving corner fights outside before the internet was every shorty's vice running in my Starter jacket like a rite of passage, to this day i wear them jawns i got on a classic tryna ball like Bubba Chuck back when he said "i give this game my life, we talking bout practice?" why you mad? why take away my joy & make me have to mask my sadness? grew up with them wolves that they labeled as savages people love playing with you ’til you do them bad, ’til i really get them mad &have them going out the saddest, then crack a smile, & roll some up, while i'm laughing i travel light, might hop a flight without no baggage can't let nobody hold me back, that's too bad, i won't have it, 
i'm from that era a Starter jacket was worth your life it was dangerous to walk around with some matching Flights popular amongst the street hustlers working nights long nights, making sure nobody short the price i’m talking ‘bout back in the daze acid wash denim with the fade, Starter Jacket straight from Eastbay if you had money, you had the matching J’s just getting back to my ways just getting back on the page feeling like i’m stuck in my ways until it’s up, up & away until it’s up, up & away up & away, up, up & away

about

we're from that era a Starter jacket was worth your _life.
they weren’t ea$y to afford so that in$pired us to hu$tle.
having one on your body was coveted, but dangerous.
it attracted wolves that were blood hungry to take it.
so if you wanted to wear one & $hine,
you had to step outside, look fear in the eye and face it.

but we $urvived.
we kept our drive to have what we de$ired.
decades _later, we still apply that same energy
toward the dream$ we chase now.
the jacket was just an early inspiration,
it was our Starter Pack.

this project is a tribute to that.
we made you a $oundtrack for your hu$tle.
we hope it inspires you to never give up,
no matter how _long you been going,
no matter how treacherous the game gets,
& no matter what dreams you’re out cha$ing.
