(Intro)
I gave up on it
Hope it comes right back
I gave up on it
Hope it comes right back
(Verse one)
I gave up on it
Hope it comes right back
Fell in love with the grind then it fell right flat
Your body just don't last and it happens like that
One day you smash there goes ya knee cap
They say they pa** you don't get no plaque
They was grim on surface clean it off like plaque
I mean…
———
I gave up on it
Hope it comes right back
Fell in love with the grind then it fell right flat
Your body just don't last and it happens like that…
I mean… I mean..
———
I mean f** that crying and b**hing
I gotta get cooking up in the kitchen
This ain't a fairy tale it's no fiction
This ain't ending well it ain't written
Theres hurdles dawg and theres friction
And you become a slave to ambition
No life mates you on a mission
No family fate in your vision
Not an ounce of normal like Simpsons
You said f** the group like Britain
And they tried to tell ya, won't listen
In your defence intentions ain't hidden
(Bridge)
You where open n clear
And no my folks ain't here
You gotta deal with me…
You gotta deal with me…
There's no shelter near
Minus 5 degrees
I got a vision to see
Got a vision to see
There's no complaints to hear
And In my mind frame
I'm in constant fear
I'm constant fear
But you won't see no tear
No you won't see none here
No you won't see no tear
I don't feel no fear
(Verse Two)
And T used to say
Grind ya whole life get used to the pay
Then he got paid out in Italy
Mean with the drive and hitting treys
Words can't describe what that meant to me
Used to think about his drive when I was loosing weight
On the trend on the court just trying be great
I want it right now, I don't want to wait
For that same reason, sealed away my fate
Life on the bench with medical tape
Under six foot be feeling like Nate
Do it all again I'd take less on my plate
I'd still grind all night, only way to escape
I'd Make friendships and be less in hate
Love a lil more lessen the mess that I'd make
Learned so many lessons sh** I guess it was fate
Always cut the gra** never f**ing with snakes
But since you went and asked I've been working since eight…
Years old
Cause we're told
Without dough, that's a clear fold
But ain't nobody care all the tears cold
But the bread still good, though it's near mold
Cause it's bread, don't complain you fed
We trying work down stairs hear what your uncle said?
Keep it down not a sound or he gon bust ya head
(Outro)
He gon bust ya head
Safe to say I wasn't quiet
To this day i deny it
So many years I went silent
(Phone Rings)
Thats my girl texting me
She said take it easy, get some sleep, don't think to much
But I can't
I'm a product of my environment
