[Hook]
How you gonna play it by books
When they try to tell you that it never will be simple
I mean how you ganna show me what it takes
When they try to tempt with you everything thats
Misleading I know
That it wasn't easy that it wasn't (Given to you x3)
I know that it wasn't easy that it wasn't given to you
[Verse 1]
Word up everybody wanna give a f**
Didn't anybody tell you that it wasn't very easy to
Be seen in this life without luck
Word up
Well Ima go and make my own luck
So when people think of me when they see me in the
Streets they don't know what to do they
Starstruck
So what Ima be the one to go and get it
Got a house in the Hills and a car with the wheels
And a card that I can use with credit
You know what you can go and tell em that I said it
I ain't holding nothing back when it comes to the
Truth and you can go and tell em that I said it

I know that it wasn't easy that it wasn't given to you
[Verse 2]
So you really wanna know the truth Ima give it to you
Every time I go and step up in the booth Ima give it to you
Better second guess the people that you pick and choose
Cause they're not the same than what you thought
They just wanna come around and share their
Thoughts but I don't wanna listen
All these stories got you tripping
Cause we're just a habit of our own creation
Gotta watch the way that we are when we are
Associating with the demons that are tryna take
Over our minda
You can fell it in your brain fell it in your spine
You gotta be better say that you don't have the time
You don't have to turn the water up into wine
I'm just asking you to know that it;s ganna be fine
