Coulda called it quits, but I stayed rollin'
Did a one-eighty since, but they prayed for me
We talkin' ambition and the drive
Motherfucker, what it sound like? A Lambo' with the plates stolen
Let's talk about life, here's my take on it
The world full of shit, but got great moments
Ain't that the truth? That's a great slogan
Time to turn the beat up one time and throw some bass on it
Let's talk about the movement that I represent
Tried takin' me out the game, no, they had to let me in
Feel like Michael, Carolina with the letterman
No, they can't compete, a bunch of rappers that I'm better than
Sound all repetitive, money up, bet again
Feel like a veteran, flag never Confederate
Lookin' for the truth, damn, that's who you settle with?
If you want the real, baby, I'm a livin' testament
Sound like a gentleman, insane motherfucker
I cut the curls off for the waves, motherfucker
Feel like AI with the braids, motherfucker
That means I'm not playin' with you lame motherfuckers
Ready to go to war, I'm fightin' demons, of course
Choice of weapon, a sword, a knife for my remorse
Life gon' take its course, my karma creepin' for sure
Tryna settle the score, I been through this before, yeah
Way I'm livin' this life
I know it ain't right when I wake up in the mornin'
Gamble on my soul with the dice
You gotta pay the price to get everything you wanted
And I done stayed up nights
Got three whole stripes, tryna find where my soul is
Look who I had to go to war with, fallin'
The pain don't stop for the rain, baby
Tryna throw dirt on my name, baby
Look how far I came, babe
Can't believe I'm sane, babe, oh yeah-oh yeah
Way I'm livin' this life
I know it ain't right when I wake up in the mornin'
Gamble on my soul with the dice
You gotta pay the price to get everything
Ayy, I'm tired of it
Talk about school, go apply for a scholarship
Make fifty racks a year, what they offerin'
Funny how the small-minded folks so confident
Had to make a choice and it came with a consequence
Pain in my voice, it stems from broken promises
Cut niggas off, leave 'em in astonishment
And it hurt 'em the most givin' 'em no acknowledgements
Stuck in my ways, no, I ain't really proud of it
Thought it was a phase, but I still ain't grow out of it
Truth in the bars, y'all used to the frauds
Caught up in the clouds tryna reach for the stars
Boy on fire, feel the heat when I spark
So I give 'em hell when I speak from the heart
True to the art, dedicated, all facts
Started on this journey and there's no turnin' back, like
Way I'm livin' this life
I know it ain't right when I wake up in the mornin'
Gamble on my soul with the dice
You gotta pay the price to get everything you wanted
And I done stayed up nights
Got three whole stripes, tryna find where my soul is
Look who I had to go to war with, fallin'
The pain don't stop for the rain, baby
Tryna throw dirt on my name, baby
Look how far I came, babe
Can't believe I'm sane, babe, oh yeah-oh yeah
Way I'm livin' this life
I know it ain't right when I wake up in the mornin'
Gamble on my soul with the dice
You gotta pay the price to get everything
