VERSE 1 A wise man told me young n***a be real with it n***a dealt bad cards but I deal with it So either I quit, or hit schemes to move quick Either way on both sides yeah I'm still with it Long nights no rest again Staying humble, though pride gets the best of men When you tryna bare fruit rotten apples and a few bad eggs I was hatched in a nest of em Every year it's the same old same ol I'm sick and tired of the same ol same ol I'm feeling wired like yo How the f** can I blow When every n***a tryna change the game though I mean even though a n***a still believing Going through hell that'll make you a demon Taking revenge on the world It's odd how the hunger don't quit till the day you get even Trust me look cause CHORUS I been there done that Black clouds up ahead where the sun at Sick of living out dreams in my mind out here on the grind Tryna find where the funds at Once again on a broke n***a basis I get ahead then i lose a few paces I had to move with the real and the fake Just to try and catch a break But so many caught cases f** with me I mean VERSE 2 Tryna move like them Spanish chicas say anderlay A couple dawgs I had went astray Ain't nothing promised but yesterday It's all here to leave, then gone to stay And sometimes I wanna live low key Then it's f** that, I'ma be mad rich It's settle down with that good girl Till my mood change, I need a bad b**h Tryna be Jay-Z make every n***a rich on my team sheet Sunshine walking in Memphis But the outlook yeah it's is still Bleek And now and then my shoulders stoop Cause my brothers burdens that ain't never light But trust me, till the day I die I might wave a flag, but it's never white CHORUS I been there done that Black clouds up ahead where the sun at Sick of living out dreams in my mind out here on the grind Tryna find where the funds at Once again on a broke n***a basis I get ahead then i lose a few paces I had to move with the real and the fake Just to try and catch a break But so many caught cases f** with me I mean VERSE 3 A wise man told me Coker you the next Top of the ring n***a superplex If I throw the bones You catch the flow, and we both gon' deliver like ups Now I'm way too conflicted Yeah Cyndi Lauper all day that's time after time Do I spit that real rap sh** Or they wanna hit that crack sh** Like punch line after line Got the handbrake on while I'm driving Tryna broaden my horizons Turn the fiasco to good, from a star in the hood But no matter how high why it feel like my star never rising They say the world is my oyster I made the choice to pursue it till I'm dead like wood And if I'm keeping it frank, there's too many oceans out there for me not to swim good And knowing that the good die young It makes me wanna bring out the evil in me Tryna live way too large and stunt on these n******gs like evil kaneval would be Like na you can't reason with me I dream a dream, for the cream, I feign for all that Ain't nothing made me wanna be more front row than the day that Sem told me to fall back So now these pencil friends I'm etching out My girl arguing stressed me out I close my eyes day dreaming sat by the dock of the bay my arms stretching out With nothing to fear though I took it all in vein till I hit ground zero While I overdose on my h**ne cause everybody need a hero And we know CHORUS I been there done that Black clouds up ahead where the sun at Sick of living out dreams in my mind out here on the grind Tryna find where the funds at Once again on a broke n***a basis I get ahead then i lose a few paces I had to move with the real and the fake Just to try and catch a break But so many caught cases f** with me I mean
