RU - I Should've Known Lyrics

Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
Every single day I had to give this shit my best,
Every single night I meditate on my success, uh nah,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
I drove out to LA I saw potential on the west,
All the dream killers wanted me to stay where I was at,
Stressed a nigga out, couldn't get no rest,
I was broke, called my cousin, he say pull up on me fronted me some dope,
Hit the streets, 2 cell phones, pistol in my coat,
But it was just a throw away in case I ran into some smoke,
If I get caught by them folks, they gon send me down the road,
I try not to show my face so I paid a lot of hoes,
When that fast money slowed I got desperate
Takin chances serving people I didn't know, in and out im on the go,
Im doing better than before, making 400 a day that's more than 10K a month,
I was hustling with a goal, paid my cousin back, re'd up, Got a little more,
Bought it whole, cashed him out, just so there was nothing owed,
Silly nigga so of course I like to Joke,
But I shot a nigga once
I had to show em I don't play about my Doe,
Im not a monster so I had to stop before I lost control
But that lifestyle come with that game, he should've known, uh nah,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
They thought I was playin that's until I got a check,
When you make a lil money they gon pay some respect uh huh,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
When you level up niggas view as a threat,
But im not surprised I should've known, Im up next, uh nah,
I gave this shit, my heart, my gut, my stomach, my spine, Line for line,
I laughed, cried, took my time,
Even when they didn't pay me 10 cents to perform
I still showed up at the drop of a dime, murdered the show like the shit was crime,
Made friends behind enemy Lines, was long gone before the police arrived,
The bullshit I had to leave behind, other than that there's no evidence they find,
The way I picture all this shit in my mind, its like track and field,
With my shot-put under my ear, look at the way a nigga hurdled his fears,
And tripled jumped to the paper, pole vaulting over all of you haters,
I landed on greatness, that mamba mentality laker shit,
Im never on basic shit, im so close I can taste this shit,
When im cooking im baking shit out the oven creating shit,
Im just sayin, im doin what I love every day and shit, I aint playin nah nah,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
They thought I was playing that's until I got a check,
When you make a lil money they gon pay you some respect uh huh,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
When you level up niggas view you as a threat,
But im not surprised I should've known, Im up next, uh nah,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
I drove out to LA I saw potential on the west
Every single night I meditate on my success, uh nah,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
When you level up niggas view as a threat,
But im not surprised I should've known, in up next, uh nah
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
When I got my moment I didnt even break a sweat,
I just took my shot, hit the bottom of the net, uh nah,
Uh nah nah nah nah nah nah
When you level up niggas view as a threat,
All the dream killers wanted me to stay where I was at, uh nah
