A little bit higher, a little bit higher The beat, yeah Keep your opponent in the dark The often did it Might not disclosing the real purpose behind your actions If they have no clue as to what you're plotting It's impossible for them to break your defense My point of view is viewing points on a digital Happy face sticker on a brick still feeling miserable Scramble with the handle where the hammer is still visible Bail bonds switching for my bonds to be municipal Reminiscing on them rock chopping days Made a few m still got the rock chopping ways As I step into the fog where's distillate and dark All the odds is against you like you wrestling with god From the bottom to start them to right back where we started Right back on the white plate the raise in park Had a beam, a dream, a fiend and a team A hustling ambition and a box of ammunition Until the end of time I'm defending every dime With my life if I got to, splitting rice with my partners From a sinner to a winner, bag of chips to a dinner Ain't no way in hell my patience wear any thinner (x2) And I'm still about that life boy Got that right boy, They ain't take a risk and try and step outside the light boy You scared of what awaits you, afraid who's there to face you They may be there to hurt you, or maybe to embrace you I'm a prizefighter, holding the highest title Numero uno, numerous kudos But I ain't never knew those Just coke in the cut, and a couple Raymond noodles Way before the name grands bet you I can name some shooters I came from what ain't none but straight rums and cake crumbs Not enough birthdays and way too many graves dug Now I'm running round with more change than a slave's son Been a h.u.s.t.l.e.r from age one So close to just being another stack Being another cat, that got caught in its cap Or just another dealer with a 9 millimeter Can't blame me if I still sound a little bitter Relying on firearms to take my corner back Like I'm another die along, like this is my sidewalk White grain cook is drying on the iron board Listen closely, hear the hunger through the dry walls (x2) And I'm still about that life boy Got that right boy, They ain't take a risk and try and step outside the light boy You scared of what awaits you, afraid who's there to face you They may be there to hurt you, or maybe to embrace you All you p**y a** n***as out here calling 9 on a trill n***a Hope you die And all these co-defending out here giving statements Man, shut the f** up! I'm a life sentence beater, black benz 2 seater Put both feet up, right before I light the weed up Thinking bout the days that was dark All the snakes, all the sharks, all the fakes, all the frauds You know who you are! They all come and go, just like all my hoes Thinking that a swisher gonna get them through my door They no loyalty, they no lawyer fees They no commissary, n***as just want you buried My co-defending gave a statement to the state It broke my heart, have me questioning my faith Now I'm pushing pedals in panameras and raves Tryina dodge devils in penitentiary gates These n***as ain't playing fair out here in the playing field Wanna lock a player up 'cause the player staying real I'ma leave this earth, same way this hustling came, hustling Man I put that on my jugular vein! (x2) And I'm still about that life boy Got that right boy, They ain't take a risk and try and step outside the light boy You scared of what awaits you, afraid who's there to face you They may be there to hurt you, or maybe to embrace you
