[Verse 1: Lute]
I got a friend who little brother infatuated with guns
I tell him "watch yourself, for that you know what comes"
Two shots to the lungs 'cause some young n***a thought you had it coming
And I know you not the type for running
AK sound off like the band drumming
Quick to check a n***a if he said something
Under his breath, two shells is left
Everyday n***as dance with d**h
I got a tone that make you one-two step
You see, life's too short to be soul reckless
Which one? Your life or that gold neckless
Could n***as soul check it?
And all my life I been so patient
They say "life is what you make" so it's all for the taken
Seen a family get evicted, had me reminiscing
Yet I'm b**hing about life, I should be happy I'm alive
But sh**, we tired of flipping fries
n***as trapping on the side
Don't need no blue check, bye, to be verified
I'm so solidified, they don't question my qualifications
Young legend in the making, I'm tryna be patient
But no time to be waiting, I'm just feeding my baby
Unemployed, no diploma, what n***a, this crazy
[Chorus: Lute]
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way
[Verse 2: Doctur Dot]
All around, she gon' hold me down
Long as I can make her make coyote howl
When I'm in the center, outer limits, nonexistent
Is you riding? is you with it?
Ain't to hard to figure out, ain't to hard to live for now
Is you artificial or your art official?
Only clean my messes with official tissue, I'm a picky n***a
Picking up on signals, crystal clear, I get the picture
Pissing off whoever watching, watch the minutes and the seconds keep on ticking
Got a cousin in Kuwait
He can't wait to see his daughter, when he left she wasn't talking
Heard he sing the other day
Got a cousin in Kuwait
He can't wait to see his daughter, when he left she wasn't talking
Heard he sing the other day
[Chorus: Doctur Dot & Cam O'bi]
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
[Verse 3: Johnny Venus]
Cravings on my thumbs from the lighters I spun
I just stop by today to work on my lil cash flow
Spit in your spills in they lanes, I'm more revealing than sane
I'm f**ing wheeling is the phrase that pays, my n***a
The free money, kitty, [?]
The freakiest babies with [?] is only debating
Microwave pregnancy is we have no sense in time waiting
Attention span is whatever get my dick rocked
Not to mention my n***a got slammed after fifth block
So we gon' have to handle all of that when all of the tick stops and the bell rings
No hiding at the neighborhood pit stop, sh**
I'm on my own, so if I make it home, know I ain't have to use my chrome
I ain't have one to own, let alone two to rub together, just to fuel the growth
So when Judus ran up on me, gave him two boost to the throat
[Chorus: Johnny Venus]
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
