Doc Will - Always lyrics

[Verse 1: Doc Will] I remember so damn vivid Growing up as a kid I couldn't save a penny Every 11:11 every wishing well same wishes Let me have a good Christmas let my daddy out of prison I ain't felt this hunger in a minute I ain't felt this hunger since a time that I probably shouldn't mention People living with us who ain't never want to pitch in We ain't have a lot of food but we had a lot of dishes And I know my momma isn't where she'd like to be And I know she probably wouldn't want this life for me So I picked up the gun, jumped off the porch Money on my mind I'm just trying to get more So I hit the shell store tryna to make a little dough Asked the hustlers how to get it they said go for what you know [Hook: Doc Will] Go for what you know Go for what you know Go for what you know Go for what you know Go for what you know Went for what we know And now the world is ours Go for what you know Go for what you know A wise man told me once, "Go for what you know" But nowadays all the radio playing is Trinidad James So I guess I'll go for gold, hey [Verse 2: Doc Will] First open mic, hope a n***a don't choke Practice in the mirror like a mother-f**ing stripper It's funny how I gotta tell people about the b**h sh** Just to show the same people I'm a real n***a I remember sitting on the floor of the bando About to head home saying prayers with the k**ers That's real sh**... Say a prayer for the k**ers Smoking on Kisha, chilling with Nina While listening to J. Cole Feeling like Kenny Lofton Which of these n***as gonna carry my coffin Thoughts of suicide keep occurring too often Do as I say, not as I do Big brother telling me "Crime don't sell" And never be a snitch Raised in a hood we were taught that so much even time don't tell. Well But we here now.. Looking at a plaque with it I should hit up Big Monty just to tell him where we at with it It feels like it's been forever since you've checked on me But it's cool, I'm a man now I understand now, we're all just doing what we can now. For real And my son's doing well. He's three now My little man's talking telling daddy exactly what he wanna be now It feels like yesterday I was with the OGs saying, "What it take to be down?" They said, "Be yourself young brother." I did. I'm free now [Chorus: Doc Will] Go for what you know Go for what you know Go for what you know Go for what you know Go for what you know Went for what we know And now the world is ours Go for what you know Go for what you know A wise man told me once, "Go for what you know" But now in days all the radio playing is Trinidad James So I guess I'll go for broke, hey
