Aw you know (hm)
Starting to feel you know, selfish
Cause I know how it feel at the bottom nigga
I can rap bout' a whole lot of shit but ima keep it this way
Cause they need me to preach
Moved up from the spot that I was but I tap back in
Cause I know how it be
Faith really got me a long way gotta' feed them hope
When they stomach on E
One of my niggas just got locked up
Last thing he asked for was some unreleased
But I forgot to hit him back
On a road that nobody never took
Ain't no telling where my mind was at
Had a court date and he ain't even tell me
I think it's my fault Ian' know
You can tell that I gotta' lot of shit going on
Nigga you should've left me a note
Now I feel fucked up prolly' would've made his day
Just to hear the shit that I wrote
As the day go by I be thinking why struggle don't perish
Then again it's apart of my life now the shit coincide
Like pirates and parrots
Still the same nigga that slept on that flo'
And I swear I was never embarrassed
I knew that my hustle would nourish
But know I feel guilty cause you prolly' thinking I'm careless
New position but the feeling remains, I can explain
PB and J is not tasting the same
Prolly' cause it remind me of my pain
Prolly' cause it remind me bout the time I was broke
In a jar we was digging fa' chain
Go ask my momma I promise she know
Carrying nickels and dimes in the sto'
I can feel my candles burn
Take time fa' the ones you love that's some I gotta learn
I tend to get lost on the road to riches
I hope you can read between the lines
I'm searching fa' some that I might not ever find (Ooooh)
I can rap bout' a whole lot of shit but ima keep it this way
Cause they need me to preach
Moved up from the spot that I was but I tap back in
Cause I know how it be
Faith really got me a long way gotta' feed them hope
When they stomach on E
One of my niggas just got locked up
Last thing he asked for was some unreleased
But I forgot to hit him back
On a road that nobody never took
Ain't no telling where my mind was at
Had a court date and he ain't even tell me
I think it's my fault Ian' know
You can tell that I gotta' lot of shit going on
Nigga you should've left me a note
Now I feel fucked up prolly' would've made his day
Just to hear the shit that I wrote
20k on my neck and I still ain't make it
Hard work pays off I'm the proof
Still ain't got a hit but I'm far from the basement
Get that dream out yo' head and go chase it
Court dates got yo' arteries racing
Gotta' realize they don't wanna' see you win
Won't support yo' dream but help you fight cases
Ion' smoke no weed and Ion' drink no liquor
But I might reconsider
How the fuck could I feel like a winner?
When I'm ashamed of that man in the mirror
And I know you'll learn, ain't nobody coming down from the sky
To come getcha'
Jail time only time when I hit ya'
Makes me sicker, but free you nigga
