Word to the wise Never live your life in disguise Don't disappoint the man in the sky I am not oblige Don't follow any rubric that ain't mine There's people tryna take a nigga's shine There's too many tools on the block For you to talk that talk I ain't shooting but don't think that they can't walk that walk Gun reference like a battle rapper It's a Glock Take a nigga Adam's apple turn it to mines I got times I ain't used yet On the east I ain't move yet Coil rich with a new check Don't say nothing too slick Cause we're coming for spots if they hot And it will probably beat you next Heard they wanna dim my light You gon' have to risk your life They don't wanna see me shine That's why they wanna dim my light Word to the wise Word to the wise Focus on taking my own advice The one with the camera is always camera shy This ain't no overnight you gon' make me feel like They don't understand me They don't understand me Do it for the gram but me I do it for my family Never hit the mo boards but I won a Grammy Rest in peace my granny Imma shine through the valley I will shine till I'm dead Tell them pay me respect Last time that I checked I could buy and protect But I rather invest and watch the money progress Bars like a criminals cause they go over your head Heard they wanna dim my light You gon' have to risk your life They don't wanna see me shine That's why they wanna dim my light
