Hook:
I stuck to the code man I honored it
I got accepted to colleges
But they do not have all the knowledges
To get you through life and its obstacles
They never told me about going broke
They never taught me to stay afloat
They never taught me to make it work
They never taught me to put in work
Verse 1:
I had to get that sh** on my own
Get to that cheddar that provolone
All of them goals you stay focused on
Never lose sight of what's going on
Always take note of what's going wrong
Before that sh** just go on and on
It's off the hook that's a cordless phone
That's off my chest like its Mardi Gras
I know the time don't need Audemars
If it don't work then we order more
You gotta know its an art to war
Check the mirrors when you park the car
You don't know if n***as watching ya
They in the windows with binoculars
Trying to plot on how they stopping ya
Cause they not liking when you're popular
Hook:
I stuck to the code man I honored it

Verse 2:
I had to learn that sh** by myself
I had to focus on fam and health
I had to focus on gaining wealth
Being broke you don't know how it felt
Maxing out the credit card
If I use my debit card
Call it and report it fraud
Every night I prayed to God
Hoping that he came through
I hope I got some change too
I felt the hunger pains too
It's like the Hunger Games 2
Survival of the fittest
All this sh** I lived
I stayed on my pivot
I knew I had to get it
Hook:
I stuck to the code man I honored it

But they do not have all the knowledges
To get you through life and its obstacles
They never taught me about going broke
They never taught me to stay afloat

They never taught me to put in work
Verse 3:
I had to show myself how to do it
I was out there had to bust maneuvers
I couldn't stay on that bus and do it
So I saved up for my f**ing Buick
I learned the game I'm a A Plus student
I couldn't be out here looking foolish
I had to make them tracks going stupid
I had to watch and then learn the blueprint
Hook:
I stuck to the code man I honored it

Verse 4:
I had to stay on my ten toes
I had to switch up the tempo
I raised the bar this ain't limbo
I had them hits just like Kimbo
I had to strengthen my mental
I stayed on point sharpened pencils
Y'all don't say sh** instrumentals
All y'all boys sweet like some Mentos
Gotta get it I can't wait a minute
When you go broke you see paper different
Spend all that sh** you can't take it with ya
They not your friends they won't make it with ya
I got your back I'll make us richer
n***as got priors I ain't talking Richard
You know me I see the bigger picture
I stuck to the code I ride for my n***as
