Chorus: I just wanna live my life See my folks eating good So i'm out there on my grind 24-7 365 Trying to live my dreams Ain't no time for sleeping Till I see my shine I'll be getting at that dough Verse 1: I got a vision of a better life So I keep it locked in Hustle Every day and night Ain't no time for me to sleep Till my kids are eating good And my circle is complete Just getting by man can't be good enough I'd rather be up in a castle homie living up So I do it how it does With a dream of looking back dawg And laughin at what it was Why be lesser when your born to be great That' like you giving up the love you got To live with the hate I don't deal with counterfeits at all I'd rather keep it solid It's better than selling out your soul To add to your pockets Plain and simple I value my self esteem enough To cancel out my G so I can feed the machine But still that green is my mission So I just get it like a man without those shady intentions
(Chorus) Verse 2: My O.G. told me self respect's The only thing you got I remembered that even when I was on the block That's why I leave that BS to the side Cause at the end of the day All you got is your pride To me a man with two faces shouldn't breathe Because a man without truth ain't a man Please believe Been to a lot of places mane and seen a lot of thangs Seen alot of green and seen alot of People change Want to check your circle homie Throw some money in it And see ya circle shrink faster By the minute When you're in the spotlight And they can eat up off your name They're with you for life But when you're not They're moving away That's whay I do this thing for me And everything that applies I'm trying to see my family eat I'd rather be a king than a slave So I punch in overtime I'm trying to see a better day (chorus) End
