Malcolm "Chop" Smalls - VAInGlory lyrics

I'm from a little place, where n***as stuck up in a race Catch more than a civil case, tryna fill they dinner plates My homie facin ten in state, stood tall, didn't break Stay 100 on the track, crazy what the penn relays It's hard to listen to these rapper's that I'm better than Never diss, I'm aimin' at the doorman who let 'em in Throw-away society where greats become irrelevant I stood for the art-form, grew with it's appendages Sacrificing for the chances that we never get Built this from the inside, later, the embellishment I hope my n***as get them a pickup to put the presidents Solid, gon be stuck at the bottom, if we start settlin And that's a place, that I pray that'll never go I know n***as these days that age but they never grow I knew then, that I'd rather stack money, than e-lope I ain't scared to be alone, I'm afraid of bein' broke.. Lotta people that dream, little leave on a whim Yea they rap but they scared, I'm not competing with them We know all about sudden d**h, so we go for it And we ain't hoes, don't expect them open doors for us I didn't need that, only count on a keypad It's kinda sad seein blacks front for greenbacks Young cats pushin that gla** until the screen cracks See the good in saving the world, but can I mean that? A homie lose sight of what he 'posed do... Can't help a muhfka, who don't appreciate they own two Be vocal, you control the life that you in Must be inked in they skin, they love the pain that they go through When I get a bad hand, i'm back to dealing with it I treat life as a gamble, and I'm still addicted And the game gettin soft, so un-real it sickens n***as walking on pins and needles cause the feelings missin' Oh you scared to be ya muhf**in self right? You can't hate me if you don't know what you yaself likes Bandwagon fans, following the tailpipes Livin through these movies musta, Misconstrued the reel life I laugh at rappers who think highly of they weak dribbles Cause co*kiness doesn't mean that you believe in you n***as rather hold themselves back to seem official Learned, it ain't worth to share a word on every single issue That's why I mentally, ignore the sh** that's tempting me When everything is adding up, we don't think negativity Smarten up bruh, I pray you get your epiphany And learn that every gem that's dropped isn't at tiffany's Yea my life ain't perfect, but it's more together Every morning's better as long as I put forth the effort I don't know how many pages in this book But from the front to the back will lie the greatest story ever I'll make sure of it Vainglorious
