[Verse 1:]
It's whatca start with, like whatca got
Not what has been given or whatca bought
Who's in the wrong, we can cast the lot's
But nobody's wrong
Everybody wants to be star, but everybody not
But they are in their own little way
Gotta work hard, Thugz Mansion
To get that safe place
Shouldn't really matter where you start the race
We moving bricks, but we really moving weights
God forgave my sins, but only by his saving grace
Cuzo died under a little of a year ago
Barely remember his face
No time in heaven, but here time's such a waste
b**h n***as be complaining 'til 'em cops but 'em on they face
My copy of my life you won't wanna trace
Life's been better than's other's
But I still feel like I'm trapped in this maze
Seeing though this haze, deep in this fog
'til it's gone you'll don't know whatca got
Some nights I smoke myself to sleep
Hitting straight from the bong
We don't know how much time we've got
But let's just say it won't be long
'til the Rapture, one split sec and we all gone
Or get shot in them streets
Nobody's right if we're all wrong
[Verse 2:]
Hope my niece don't live the way I did
All I wanna do is turn and live life big
Swing huge and don't care if I miss
One meal or you can teach a man how to fish
Don't know whatca got 'til it's gone, yea we get da gist
Live life big, man take a couple risks
Won't be where I be if I wasn't adopted as a kid
MOF as a baby, nine days old, sh** looking kinda crazy
Put me in a box outside, maybe that's sh** don't faze me
But it amazes me how much people be hating me
My car was broken down had to fix it to racing speed
Now I'm the sh** now look at me, blazing speed
Work with what has been given to ya
And later in life, sh** will be a given to ya
Get this message that I'm sending to ya
Hope y'all get the essence of my message
Whatca got and whatca get; essence of a cla** lesson
Swing and a miss, but I'm keep on guessing
Throw that fastball not curveball forgot to mention
Keep my cards on deck, swinging to release this tension
For too many years I've worked in the back of the kitchen
Now I'm in the front and no one can take my position
DaQuan and Grandma they happy but Gone Fishing
They don't have to suffer no more
Cause believe me there's nothing they're missing
Life will throw you a brushback
So sit up and pay attention
