[Verse - Howe] Look inside my eyes Tell me what exactly you see People say they don't lie But use the word loosely A boosie want to find a way To use me, good luck, good luck Go ahead and lose me I ain't lost myself yet Try not to be selfish Hoes are like shellfish I ain't off the shelf yet I ain't bought a belt yet Pants still sagging Not quite around my waist Need 27's, 29's ain't Tight around my waist I need, light around my shade I can't see in the dark Need Night vision Bright as a light prism My sight, I see what the plight Is and I'm trying to fix it As a man with the iron fists And I'm only a man Like the rest of them Life's testing him Even through pain Life's blessing him Hoping these cops ain't Arresting him No cuffs, sometimes life is So rough, but sure enough We make it through Take it how you take it Dude, the good comes with The bad, the bad comes with The good, the sad comes with The glad, be happy with what You have, not sad with what You had, Cause you might not Get it back, got served and Can't hit it back, that's an Ace, see she left with no trace No tracks to go chase, an old mask With no face, some people are so fake Most people just don't change But situations do, the opposition Facing you, I been fishing and waiting Too, without the right bait to use Been sifting and shaking thru This cajun breading trying to Figure out which way I'm heading They say I'm dead in the water They might be right, I might be like Not what I thought I might be, right? Wrong. As long as I'm writing this song Striking like Lightning, I'm on Can you weather the storm? I am ahead of the norm But I'm behind on my grind What's talent without Time What challenges I find In front of me and behind It's hard to get past it all Start and then have to stall But I'm tighter then Fastenall A writer that has it all And I might of just had to fall To finally stand tall
