[Verse 1 - Just-N:]
Uh, thank god it's forever...
In the game of life learned one thing
That crack rock ain't a diamond ring
That trap phone, ain't a way of life
That ringtone, like a stabbing knife
That best friend, they ain't as tight
Those cool trends, stay over night
I've been there, and done that
I've ran round and done laps
I've seen fear, and won that
In this town, you from that
You gotta fight, you gotta love, you gotta heart, so give some
You gotta mic, so spit somethin', you play a part, so get it done
You got roots, so go grow, don't rob loot, stay on the low
So educate your fellow man, give 'em knowledge they understand
Give em dirt to plant a seed, give 'em more, just what they need
When ya hit cha mark, you'll find it
Cuz the whole world is blinded
Get cha whole fam behind ya
Cuz they gone remind ya that
[Hook (×2) - Just-N:]
I been living, loving good
Spend my days up in the hood
Pray I make it, twenty five
This ain't just another life
[Verse 2 - ACE:]
(During Hook: Illadelph)
Yo
My only vision is progression
Count up my blessings, throw the dice, cash in
Them last men was desperate
Soon as the boy struck gold, his luck low
But I'm a miser, know well not to trust hoes
Show emotion? Do no can
If you no Stan, know better than dick holds for cutthroats
Now gimme eyebrows raised, grimaces, ice grills
'Cause too much love would cause trouble, delight mills
Chill, a little love'll go a long way
Straight to tha head
Don't blame me, it's been a long day
No companion, any type of stand-in
Everybody beggin' and sh**, how many hands in?
The world small (if) you ain't movin' at God's speed
Allow me to reiterate
n***as hate on what they don't get
And keeping it a Benny? The rest only ever wanna Xerox
Mira, n***a, life can't be this
If it's magic, can't it make camp and sh**?
And what's more, what is there to really love these days?
I mean, the sh** ain't what it was in them Doug E. days
Why you knock for, when you got keys?
Cop pleas, only the fittest survive, so spot me
And in the meantime, grind, maintain, and go get it
Live ya life, love yourself, n***a, grow wit it
Pro!
[Hook]
