[Intro: 2.1]
Wide awake, chasing dreams
Word to Sméagol life is precious like the ring
You get a shot, you better take it
Be ready for the rebound just in case you don't make it
Boxing out tryna get up out the box
Making music tryna sell up out the shops
When you drop, avoid a flop, one day you here, next day you not
[Verse 1: 2.1]
Tryna keep my head above water
The more I try is when I keep sinking farther
Feel like Metal Mario
Drowning just wondering how far he'll go
It's a struggle just to see top
On the bubble I'm just hoping I don't ever pop
Or flop or get hit up and end up like pac
Before I even get to take a shot
Just tryna make it to the play in
Take my robe off getting ready weight in
Number 1 contender is the position that I stay in
Que my theme song cuz the champ is on his way in
Tryna leave the ring with the crown
Boxin in the whip parading down the town
Wanna show the kids you make it
Seize the opportunity and then take it
Just hope the pros out weight the cons
If it work out get a rose for ya mom's
A house too and a truck for ya pops
Take ya lil sister out and tell her shop til she drop
When you cop can't forget to get 2
One for your girl another for you
I'm my brothers keeper keep em right by my side
Where ever I go take em along for the ride
Now that I covered all the bases
Stick to your roots can't forget about the basics
Watch out for all the smiling faces
They'll pat you on the back or find a knife to replace it
Like the Ojay's banged they Backstabbers
Part friends but full time scammers
It's the ones that smoke blunts with ya take ya picture
Now they wanna grab the guns and come to get ya
Watch who you with when you pose for the cameras
Take care of ya folks but don't end up like hammer
Just mc growing up the hard way
f** the nay sayers just worry about what ya heart says
And I swear you can make it out
The road less traveled can't find it so then you make a route
