Feb 9 - The Code lyrics

Bridge: D-Mac) It goes... Chase cheese, no ratting Whether a 9 to 5, or you trapping You in school, or you rapping Chase your dreams, make it happen Get the money, then you stack it Make a goal, reach and grab it Elevate, live lavish This is the code I preach and I practice (Verse 1: D-Mac) Man who raised you n***as? shame on your og's Too many n***as walking round strapped and won't squeeze Ga**ed up on the web, pockets on E As soon as you log off, you n***as is all lost They want me to fall off, I won't, I play it smart And never sweat, And I never fret, I sway the odds I play my cards, whether the hand is good or bad I'm from the hood go ask n***as how I get down n***a From where they, bust bricks down and spit rounds n***a And believe you gon' lay down or get down n***a If you snitching its gon get round n***a, so keep your mouth shut It ain't gotta be Christmas n***as will light your house up Live by the code, money over hoes Never let a piece of p**y come between be and my bro's And I rather keep you away, than act fake and phony on you n***as play up under you plotting how to get over on you And my old friends hear about my shine See them in public and expect me to act blind But naw, what up homie? how you doing? how's the fam? sh**, I'm just chillin you know how it is mannn I just take what I have and do my best If you're in my circle, I just have one request sh** I just take what I have and do my best And if you're in my circle I just have one request (Chorus: D-Mac) If you mean it n***a: Say it You give your word n***a?: Do it You got my back n***a?: Show it And if you real n***a? : Prove it If you mean it n***a: Say it You give your word n***a?: Do it You got my back n***a?: Show it If you a real n***a? : Prove it (Verse 2: D-Mac) Feelin like you're on a standstill? Bent out of shape living life on a treadmill? running in place? Then this verse is for you, all blessings come with your faith You, gotta believe, if you wanna receive Someday ain't on a calendar, and every expert started off an amateur Hard times build character, what you gonna do when that storm come? Grab a poncho cuz when it rains it pours son Feeling sorry for yourself? couldn't sound more dumb Can't wake up a real n***a, gotta be born one I don't know what's more fun than proving doubters wrong Watch they say they always knew you could do it now that you're on I rumbled with adversity n***a we got it on Now I get dinero on all of you Madicon's Sitting on cheese like a pepperoni, a walking testimony, but nothing special homie I'm just a, n***a from the block dealing with the stress Of trying to reach success , and ain't gave up yet And WON'T, I'm gonna hustle til I ain't got breath 100, ask those who know me best I wake up every morning trying to get a check n***a I gotta get me ain't worried bout the next n***a But I swear I wish every man the best n***a Cuz what I look like hating on a blessed n***a? (Chorus: D-Mac) Cuz If I mean it imma : Say it If I give my word imma: Do it & If I got my back imma?: Show it And since I say I'm real imma : Prove it Cuz where I'm from If you mean it n***a: Say it And You give your word n***a?: Do it And if You got my back n***a?: Show it And since you say you real n***a? : Prove it (Bridge: D-Mac) It goes... Chase cheese, no ratting Whether a 9 to 5, or you trappin You in school, or you rappin Chase your dreams, make it happen Get the money, then you stack it Make a goal, reach and grab it Elevate, live lavish This is the code I preach and I practice
