| Y’all don’t know what’s it like living your whole life knowing that your nice
|
| You may doubt yourself sometimes
|
| Like pay per view, put up a fight
|
| Skin ain’t light, but my future bright
|
| Said that I would shine without ice
|
| I just write these honest lines
|
| Of what I saw with two eyes
|
| No one knows what I went through and the entry fee I paid
|
| Ain’t a superstar, yet still wanna to go the VMAs
|
| Gonna manifest it can’t til we see the day
|
| Gotta go to court so let’s pray that I beat the case
|
| Coffin or cell, why they wanna see us in a box?
|
| Tryna climb the charts until they see us on the top
|
| I let you live, I hope my kindness kill my opps
|
| Motto ain’t change, it’s middle fingers to cops
|
| Love our freedom but they wanna keep us locked
|
| Wanna try shootin' us, they want us to get popped
|
| Love my bodegas, get my fronto from the ock
|
| Do this for all my niggas hustlin' on the block (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
|
| Mommie told me, «Bring the pain, these niggas is tame»
|
| Honestly, I feel exact same
|
| Divin' in these pussies, bitch, it’s Max Payne
|
| I’m just a dark skin nigga in a sold-out crowd
|
| Blowin' loud where he ain’t allowed
|
| Shit been lookin' up, I’m gettin' sucked down
|
| Hoes be tryna duck, hittin' me up now
|
| See, he is a miracle, he still shine
|
| Though he said his rhymes is unbearable, Fly dropped a classic
|
| I done dwelled in the Hell, these little niggas false claimin'
|
| So I’m the big homie, guess it goes without sayin'
|
| Hollowed jokes and the game, I been past it
|
| Suckin' in your LA accent
|
| Gimme face and I’m flaccid, the fuck is you sayin'?
|
| I look up to God and it’s Lil Wayne, so it’s money over bitches
|
| Keep my mind on my motherfuckin' ventures
|
| Stayin' level-headed 'cause the game vicious, uh
|
| I should be goin' outside of my comfort zone
|
| I left the room to places I could be like some honeycomb
|
| Greener the grass, sweeter the ass
|
| Let’s get blown on the front lawn
|
| Took a shorter time to pay 'em back for one loan
|
| Made myself aware since Jigga had Roc-A-Wear
|
| Balancin' double shifts like there ride to the fair
|
| In any motion, my grind, it well paired and devoted
|
| As I float by, often floats, three wheel motion
|
| Used to be on Ocean Ave, three people, one bag, no room
|
| Or space for my thoughts and body while they both grew
|
| Ain’t no role models in school, only Ice Cubes
|
| With jewels or niggas that could ride and make moves
|
| That I made to, played to, innocent in grade school
|
| Every day I had a new demon or an angel
|
| Stay true on both of my sides
|
| Now the bar on top shelf, soap level
|
| This is days of our lives, yeah
|
| Yeah, I said, «I been at the bottom, that’s been why I’m gettin' high, bro»
|
| Ripped all forty-seven pages out the fuckin' bible
|
| I don’t have a stylist, but they stealin' on my style
|
| I always knew I’d be a rich nigga since the snotty nose
|
| I know my momma prayin' for me, actin' like a diablo
|
| Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop another bottle
|
| You see me get distant 'cause I’m not the type to follow
|
| Fuck you, pay me, that’s my new motto
|
| Labels all fables, they ain’t ever on your side, bro
|
| Niggas only love you when you pop or you die, bro
|
| I put my heart in the game, my chest became hollow
|
| You need the bad guy, so label me a
|
| This world ain’t have nothin' to offer us
|
| We was pushin' work, we was the boss of us
|
| Only way to win is if I fuckin' quit
|
| Me, I been legit since the little jit
|
| Fuck the law and the government
|
| I ain’t see no justice served while my niggas out here servin'
|
| If I see some funny shit then I’m the first one swervin'
|
| 'Bout my capital, fuck the capital
|
| Rest in peace to King Capital
|
| Why these lil' niggas cappin' for?
|
| Uh, yeah, yeah
|
| Gotta keep my focus, can’t repeat on that old shit
|
| Gotta sound and make it soul shift
|
| And hold you high when you’re hopeless
|
| People pick you up like two-year olds
|
| And while I been sick of these posers
|
| Whom they get to notice, know this way, we in the show biz
|
| Movin' they don’t notice, only gon' repost it if I pour up for those pics
|
| Can’t count on who’s closest
|
| When it comes to takin' more risks it’s the same who’s boastin'
|
| But they know 'em, gon' ignore this
|
| Put bane into the poems, gotta show 'em we’re the artists |
| My scuffed shoes polished, had to go and get some dollars
|
| Still rock and get a hollow from your girl on your momma
|
| Schooled by old-timers, back when I had the liners
|
| Makin' sure we ain’t have our minds to come and run through these times with,
|
| nothing’s easier
|
| Keep a watch on who’s been teachin' ya’s
|
| More of them movies and medias
|
| We should really help the needy first
|
| But instead they turn them to see them skirts
|
| Should it be selfish to sell this merch?
|
| Converse with my profits, commerce with the verses
|
| When my pocket’s lookin' hurt, yeah
|
| Yeah, and so the story came and go
|
| Beware of all the fakes who don’t got it but they just paint it gold
|
| Everything that shine is not a precious stone
|
| But ignorance is bliss, so it’s fine, I guess the less you know
|
| The better it is, the era of kids
|
| Who sure they got their shit together better than him, yeah
|
| I used to think that I was meant for this shit
|
| But I missed too many shots, I mighta emptied the clip
|
| We make goals in our head that we set for a year
|
| That we forget in a month just to boast with our peers
|
| So you seem like you got life figured out, but when you look in a mirror
|
| The reflection isn’t clear, I’m stressin', I’m feelin' weird (Stressin',
|
| I’m feelin' weird)
|
| Uh, I confess, I’m a little scared (Ah, yeah)
|
| Ayy, I tell everyone I’m okay, I’m stuck in my ways
|
| But I just wish someone would interfere (Wish someone would interfere, yeah)
|
| Ayy, days are long but years are short (Oh, yeah)
|
| How the Hell did I get here? |
| (How the Hell did I get here?)
|
| Uh, maybe it’s just a phase, or one of those days
|
| Won’t be a victim to the fear, yeah (Ah, yeah)
|
| Don’t know the Hell that we been through, yeah
|
| I’m stressin' but I’m gonna get through it
|
| We learned the hard way, now lemme think straight
|
| We ain’t in Hell yet but we gettin' there
|
| Don’t know the Hell that we been through, yeah
|
| I’m stressin' but I’m gonna get through it
|
| We learned the hard way, now lemme think straight
|
| We ain’t in Hell yet but we gettin' there |
