I done been a whole lot of things
A weak ni**a never been one of them
In 40 years it’s some things i done seen
Most of that getting buried
With my ashes when they dump them
Good kid, stayed out of the way of trouble
Nah for real, i just ain’t caught
Had to keep a good image up for ruby
In her eyes, i’m gonna always be the angel
That she thought i was
And yet i hung with some ni**as
Who ain’t known to be giving out fu*ks
And we’d try drugs, and we might stomp
Out anybody looking like they wanna try us
But we were quite young and dumb
And only thinking bout the rush
And we nevеr considered the outcomеs
Some did time and got out, some still locked down
And too many of my peoples now gone
But fast forward jumped off the porch and i slung
Me and riel back and forth from col to the a
We was hiding weed in the seats of ya b.m. with the b.m.'s
All plotting how we bout to get paid
Made a little change but i realized it wasn’t my thang
Almost caught in fort benning with the stank
Had a couple pounds on me
When they stopped the car before me
And i couldn’t do a damn thang but pray
And i said god, if you can get me up out of this sh*t
I promise i’ll forever go straight
Knowing damn well i ain’t got no business
Out here trying to hustle anyway
Plus you done made me way too gifted
With these talents and they shouldn’t go to waste
Now i’m making rap dough and got a business
A b*tch can’t tell me i ain’t a favorite
Now i’m on the road getting money from the shows
Getting money for the verses
Stopped stunting for these hoes
Running fiecrū and getting money with the clothes
Can't stop until my mama and struggling no more
Man y'all just don’t how long
I been coming through the door
Figured out the problem i was coming in with folks
Who ain’t mentally prepared to go where i wanna go
And god held out 'til i lessened up the load
Damn it feels good when you ain’t carrying no more
Unnecessary stressing and the blessings get to flow
Once you get a taste of that freedom and relief
You gonna only want the best and ain’t settling no more
I’m king nix b*tch, i’ll forever be the goat
On whatever the endeavor with the pedal to the floor
All the pressure takes a toll. bet i’m never gonna fold
Keep my cool in the heat and got a sweater for the cold
Visions manifest when you direct with what you want
Had to start writing down when i’m setting all my goals
I’ll tell you what i did but ain’t gonna tell you what i know
That means i’ll give you food for thought
But i ain’t getting you the bowl
And take you hell of notes ‘cause it’s better if you know
That i’m never gonna repeat if i done said the sh*t before
Probably gonna pace, but i’m never gonna hold up
ni**as like damn nix slow up. no bruh
I ain’t letting up ‘til i’m getting where i’m going
Plus the universe consistent when
She give me what she owe me
A ni**a can’t afford the consequences
Too expensive in the end
Because i always pay attention to my choices
Boy it’s a joy to to avoid the bullets soaring
Looking for the ignorant open wide for the target
Swear to god i done called it many times
When i saw it coming
Tried to give a warning but the blind just ignored it
Told them ni**as listen when the wise get to talking
They ain’t thinking sh*t stinking 'til
The flies get to swarming though
Always keep the main thing as the main thing
Mind on the money and my eyes off them other folks
Theirs ain’t got nothing to do with yours. nic flair
Always keep the main thing as the main thing
Mind on the money and my eyes off them other folks
