A List of Withouts |
One time for setbacks |
One time for progress |
Have hatred for the matrix or fall in love with the process |
Not enough sleeping |
Way too many prospects |
Always feeling fatigue but I have yet to need alarm set |
I’m just bout the realest of things |
Ain’t that the logic? |
Lie awake with a dream and then fall asleep with a concept |
I hear a lot of chatter about hustling on the daily |
But when did the discussion come pay me? |
Never |
This the man that’s behind the words that do whatever it takes |
I’m not too proud to eat the scrapings off plates |
Turn your nose up |
You’re missing out |
What this about? |
Having holdups? |
Well you can eat the chips on your shoulder |
Know what |
That ain’t something that you can learn |
But on the way you could earn |
Rode through the fixes and the clenches |
Never make a U-Turn |
And if you do |
You ain’t ready for what anything cost |
Youngin' you soft |
Run along with your loss and step off |
You ain’t got the skills for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the build for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the real for this |
You ain’t got the chill for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the smarts for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the art for this |
You ain’t got the ear for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the tears for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the fear for this |
You ain’t got the years for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the heart for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the heart for this |
Turn it up |
When do I not have a lot on my mind |
Contemplating what to do with my time |
I’m pursuing a grind that runs faster than my passion and I’m |
Tryna match it with the habit to shine |
Money coming and going |
Predict the pattern what I’m tryna define |
Already knowing is a tragic decline |
Before the show end |
Show up with a «I know what"instead of «why» |
The answer ain’t in the sky don’t expect a reply |
I’m just expecting decline |
I’m scared to death that |
This the best I’ma get before God come and collect his breath back |
So I don’t sweat that |
I got a lot of blessings at stake |
And I would hate to take them all in the vein |
Like I was shooting up base |
I’m in the trap you might know it as states |
A Murryland boy who wants the world to rejoice at my recording of tapes |
Y’all don’t hear me why |
You ain’t got the skills for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the build for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the real for this |
You ain’t got the chill for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the smarts for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the art for this |
You ain’t got the ear for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the tears for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the fear for this |
You ain’t got the years for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the heart for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the heart for this |
Turn it up |
My mother worked the register all the way through her pregnancy |
Less than a week from getting me she was working to better me |
Pop’s selling coke out on Lanny Park in the 70's |
He hustled for the struggle to stop the troubles ahead of me |
That’s when he had a diner off of New Hampshire Ave |
Didn’t last, Reaganomics set the market to crash |
When I’m back home I always make a point to go past |
To see the spot as a reminder of how the good could go bad |
This the world that I inherited |
Furthered it through the murderous week, and meager the nervousness |
Look at me I’m impervious |
Take your best shot and make sure that I’m done |
Cause if I’m not I’ll come back to take the life from your lungs |
I fight The Good Fight |
The merits of my actions is slow |
Overnight: Nothing worth it would grow |
This I learned from the modest of folks |
Fake artists with your targets' to blow |
Y’all implode |
We ain’t guarding your soul |
Yeah |
You ain’t got the skills for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the build for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the real for this |
You ain’t got the chill for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the smarts for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the art for this |
You ain’t got the ear for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the tears for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the fear for this |
You ain’t got the years for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the heart for this |
Nah, you ain’t got the heart for this |
Turn it up |
