Do Better |
What would I do besides grind for them paper stacks? |
That’s the only way i know to get a Cadillac |
See, I refuse to live this life broke another day |
All I know is hard work accumulating pay |
A never ending saga this the true hustler’s ballet |
I done tossed more blue cheese than a cobb salad |
That paper calling me I answer on the first ring |
Championship work ethic, tryna chase a ring |
They told me I would never make it but I didn’t listen |
It ain’t my fault that they failed to see God’s vision |
Worldwide globe-trotter, stacking up commission |
And if I knew better, I’d do better please pray for wisdom |
Somebody better pray for me and where I’m at |
Don’t know when I leave, if I’m comin' back |
And if I knew better (If I knew) |
I would do better (What would I do?) |
And If I ever try to lead this life alone |
Wherever I go, the street’s is still my home |
See, if I knew better (If I knew) |
What I would do better (What would I do?) |
What would I do? |
I should’ve knew better |
Outta place like me with a blue sweater |
In a place where the funny nigga moves his treasure |
I was pushin' fireworks in cool weather |
Big Boog tougher than boot and leather |
But a fucked up move makes moves lesser |
I was in it for them bands with the grams measure |
Got fucked up dealing with a cool jeffer |
But that’s my fault |
Behind enemy lines I’m gettin' work off |
Bitches toast, head hard or soft? |
And I’m flamed up talkin' that turf talk |
They was comin' for me, couldn’t stand that |
The two spots upstairs, I ran that |
Had foots in Elivs, they sent us helpers |
We movin' metals couldn’t plan that |
But I man the station despite the hatin' |
No fabrication in this conversation |
Boogie blazin', a trail of greatness |
No time for patience, that’s time wasted |
Good gracious, my good race and them fiends chasin' that fire blood |
Bold statement, I rocked, skated, and bounced the products on my blood |
Somebody better pray for me and where I’m at |
Don’t know when I leave, if I’m comin' back |
And if I knew better (If I knew) |
I would do better (What would I do?) |
And If I ever try to lead this life alone |
Wherever I go, the street’s is still my home |
See, if I knew better (If I knew) |
What I would do better (What would I do?) |
What would I do? |
Searchin', lost, let me slide in the sauce |
Livin' like the heater huntin' freedom, but it costs |
Seekin' out the preacher, but the preacher teachin' false |
May be on my feet, now I’m creepin' through the moss |
Hoping I ain’t lost, man, time can’t be bought |
So it’s tickin' and it’s tickin' and I’m try’na turn it off |
Ain’t dreams on the cross cause they seem to get lost |
Any schemes to be boast? |
Any greed will exhaust |
And I’m muh’fuckin' tired, I ain’t muh’fuckin' lyin |
When I’m muh’fuckin' dyin', better muh’fuckin' grind |
And it’s all bull time, I ain’t try’na waste mine |
So I scratch off the line that wasn’t built for the pine |
So I push a hard line on these bitches all the time |
I’ll treat you like a bitch, nigga, and beat you from behind |
I’ma keep you lookin' fine, I’ma keep you wined and dined |
Not a pimp, I’m a pusher, I’m a creature of the grind |
I’m a block boy with a life tied to a scale |
Built to excel, can’t hear the word fail |
I’ma savage for the cabbage, I’m to greedy for the kale |
And I always work a package like I’m workin' for the mail |
Barely missing jail, life lost to a cell |
But I’d rather be in prison than be wallowing in Hell |
Pray to God for a different route, open up and let me out |
Dreams of a dreamer, realistic, I ain’t gettin' out. |
Somebody better pray for me and where I’m at |
Don’t know when I leave, if I’m comin' back |
And if I knew better (If I knew) |
I would do better (What would I do?) |
And If I ever try to lead this life alone |
Wherever I go, the street’s is still my home |
See, if I knew better (If I knew) |
What I would do better (What would I do?) |
What would I do? |
