[Verse: DAEtrius]
Scribbling my thoughts in my notebook
This is my hope book, if i don't make it, guess this my broke book
You don't really love it if you ain't willing to go broke 4
Walking through the yard, head down get your rope took
Keep your approach up, your shoulders show me if you got a shot like a post up
Chip on my shoulder, lump stuck in my throat uh…
Pockets looking linty, just f**ed a lil bity
She came to my city, and i bought her lil bennies
She thought a n***a diddy, but i ain't yet winning
If i told her i was broke, she probably wasn't f**ing with me
I might be close to my dreams, but I'm still pinching pennies
I'm proud tho, my family tell me keep going DAE when the crowd roar
So im a keep pushing this sh** like the lawn mower
f** n***as don't see me guess they blind hoe
I swear them college drop outs is who i shine 4
I took another route, my cousin matt said i should've chose to stock it out but he don't know my house
Lights day to day, bills piling on the couch
1 day we had it good, the next we had it out
Learned from kanye that that won't k** me make me stronger, bet my money longer with or without that diploma
God give me drills and test,Oklahoma
Build up my defense, been working on my prevent
Cause cuts been cutting me deep with no allegiance
Been on my knees frequent cause ion f** with demons
Ion need new friends, cause they changing with the seasons
Rather f** with myself, I'm stingy with my seamen
Stand on the world, grab my balls hold my penis…
Gotta keep believing, i been a young heathen…
Im in this world all exposed like garden eden
Text message sometimes they say I'm on the deep end
I find myself slapping these n***as and still preaching
Second guess decisions always lead to no completion
Whatever slot you choose, remember you got a reason
Life is a gamble in Vegas at The Venetian
