People try tell me how I should live my life
More time they're only ever in it for the highlights
I been on my grind from dawn till twilight
Tryna find my way into the limelight
But I can see a storm on the horizon
So I guess I'll get this bread in when the times right
I had close friends giving me the side eye
Hit me deep so I had to get my mind right
Remember times I had nothing to my name
Even though I was at work all day
Last week of the month shit was always the same
Had me checking if I got spare change
I was moving desperate
But I made things different with some effort
I was feeling down had to get up
But I can't forget the panicking and stressing
I went through some pain when I was an adolescent
But it only made me tougher
My bro was locked up 4 summers
But he would've been on road if it weren't for the undercovers
Had to get it in like the drawer from a cupboard
And now hes getting bread with all the butter
Tryna do numbers
I'm just so gassed to see him winning
But some man would say it's only competition
One day I know we're both gonna make a killing
I just gotta stay working god willing
People try tell me how I should live my life
More time they're only ever in it for the highlights
I been on my grind from dawn till twilight
Tryna find my way into the limelight
But I can see a storm on the horizon
So I guess I'll get this bread in when the times right
I had close friends giving me the side eye
Hit me deep so I had to get my mind right
I can hear your cries
High pitched so I feel it inside
Sometimes life makes you wanna hide
Just know it's all fine
Keep going and one day you'll thrive
Know they're tryna hold us back by design
Take flights yeah you gotta live life cos
You dont know when you could be doing up life
They gotta free the guys
My bros in the can no brine
And he aint coming home in time
Cant lie its all mad
So now I'm waiting for a call back
Guess this life kinda has its drawbacks
Thats why I got a 9-5 and try rap
I'm just really tryna make us all racks
Yeah I do it for my people
Couple of us tryna do it legal but
I could count us all on one hand
Either way you gotta stay sharp like a needle
Play this song sit down and make plans
People try tell me how I should live my life
More time they're only ever in it for the highlights
I been on my grind from dawn till twilight
Tryna find my way into the limelight
But I can see a storm on the horizon
So I guess I'll get this bread in when the times right
I had close friends giving me the side eye
Hit me deep so I had to get my mind right
