[Verse 1: Lute] I got a friend who little brother infatuated with guns I tell him "watch yourself, for that you know what comes" Two shots to the lungs 'cause some young n***a thought you had it coming And I know you not the type for running AK sound off like the band drumming Quick to check a n***a if he said something Under his breath, two shells is left Everyday n***as dance with d**h I got a tone that make you one-two step You see, life's too short to be soul reckless Which one? Your life or that gold neckless Could n***as soul check it? And all my life I been so patient They say "life is what you make" so it's all for the taken Seen a family get evicted, had me reminiscing Yet I'm b**hing about life, I should be happy I'm alive But sh**, we tired of flipping fries n***as trapping on the side Don't need no blue check, bye, to be verified I'm so solidified, they don't question my qualifications Young legend in the making, I'm tryna be patient But no time to be waiting, I'm just feeding my baby Unemployed, no diploma, what n***a, this crazy [Chorus: Lute] Gotta be another way, aye Gotta be another way, aye Gotta be another way, aye Gotta be another way [Verse 2: Doctur Dot] All around, she gon' hold me down Long as I can make her make coyote howl When I'm in the center, outer limits, nonexistent Is you riding? is you with it? Ain't to hard to figure out, ain't to hard to live for now Is you artificial or your art official? Only clean my messes with official tissue, I'm a picky n***a Picking up on signals, crystal clear, I get the picture Pissing off whoever watching, watch the minutes and the seconds keep on ticking Got a cousin in Kuwait He can't wait to see his daughter, when he left she wasn't talking Heard he sing the other day Got a cousin in Kuwait He can't wait to see his daughter, when he left she wasn't talking Heard he sing the other day [Chorus: Doctur Dot & Cam O'bi] Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way [Verse 3: Johnny Venus] Cravings on my thumbs from the lighters I spun I just stop by today to work on my lil cash flow Spit in your spills in they lanes, I'm more revealing than sane I'm f**ing wheeling is the phrase that pays, my n***a The free money, kitty, [?] The freakiest babies with [?] is only debating Microwave pregnancy is we have no sense in time waiting Attention span is whatever get my dick rocked Not to mention my n***a got slammed after fifth block So we gon' have to handle all of that when all of the tick stops and the bell rings No hiding at the neighborhood pit stop, sh** I'm on my own, so if I make it home, know I ain't have to use my chrome I ain't have one to own, let alone two to rub together, just to fuel the growth So when Judus ran up on me, gave him two boost to the throat [Chorus: Johnny Venus] Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way Gotta be another way
