[Verse: T.Bailey]
And I wish a n***a would
They congratulate me I just tell em God good
Always had the confidence climbing up the ladder
I just kept it pushin cause opinions didn't matter
Hustle hard realize that sh**s an art
Cut from the program if you don't play your part
Victorious from the beginning and I knew from the start
That we take it over cause this sh** an' took our hearts
Every lessened learned an had a repercussion prior
You gotta go through hell, just to get to what you desire
These n***as want yo plugs, but what the f** are they supplying
These women lookin right and sh**, I don't even mind em
You left a bad impression like shaking with ya left hand
You can look up in my eye and see that I'm a man
Yeah, life good then it's bad then it's good
But I'm I'm still surviving to speak on what's understood
[Hook: T.Bailey]
Life is what you make it this is what I know
We get so close the breakin then we tend da let it go
Steady hesitating then we let our feeling shows
Ya back against the wall nobody will ever know
Woah (4x)
Life is what you make it this is what I know
[Verse: T.Bailey]
I told my momma with this music sh** I'm gone make it
It's teaching me to appreciate and I'm learning patience
I put my pride aside to tell you how I really feel
I don't wanna be thirty and tryna sign a deal
I know that hurt some feelings
That's how the cookie crumble and I know it's lord willing
I'm worth a fortune even handling business and chillin
In my sweats they give me uhhh comfortable feeling
You trying hard for the camera
You really need to look at the mirror for a few answers
Tell the mirror you caught up in superficial glamour
And tell it that you make easy for n***as to hammer
Me on the other hand I'm setting standards
Tryna show you can be tough while being well mannered
Shoot for greatness *bow* aim it at ya heart
And let it ricoshade to yo head so it can make you smart
[Hook: T.Bailey]
Life is what you make it this is what I know
We get so close the breakin then we tend da let it go
Steady hesitating then we let our feeling shows
Ya back against the wall nobody will ever know
