Ivan "Iyeball" Houpe - Persevere lyrics

[Intro] Yeah I'm just happy to be back you know I ain't been in this, in this booth in a minute, you know n***as, n***as been going through sh** and sh** (haha) But thats life though You know, you got to like persevere and what not Ain't that what they tell you? (hah) Word up Yeah What's up? Ugh Look [Verse 1] Born and raised in Columbus A product of the Southside 800 South Champion, that's where I learned not to die Gun shots through the night, ghetto birds in the sky I walked to and from school, black boys can't fly You can do anything, the greatest lie ever told I told myself all the time, sometimes you just got to lie Because the system is broken, and the scales are tipped And that city school to prison pipeline do exist You miss what you don't shoot, I'm a hundred percent It's real in the field, don't come off that bench How you raise your gun, before you raise your fist? But how you raise your fist, before you raise you voice? You ain't a man you a boy, damn what you heard Got to speak up, rest in peace, my n***as lost they voice I've been trying to cut back, I got a drink in my hand I've been trying to stack up, I need more paper damn I've been trying to spend time with my immediate fam But that don't never pan out, swear they don't know who I am I was raised in the church, no I don't go no more See I got to find God, for myself, you should know That's why I quit that job, I got to work for my own I got to pull my own load, I got to build me a home Motherf** being broke, damn this sh** is depressing And I just got word, my ex girlfriend pregnant And I feel indifferent, not cause I'm jealous You should know I feel indifferent about a lot of sh** But when you're chasing a dream, you miss out on some sh** It's like 3 or 4 girls I could have settled down with But f** it I'll be that n***a that you never forget And you love it, I'm still that n***a, don't you ever forget I come through with the who want it? Like anybody can get it Like it's open to the public, like f** it It's Fly U! Three the hard way like a foul and a bucket F U, if you don't love it In my feelings like that, sometimes it be like that Allahu akbar, I'm just happy to be here Sip this champagne, then spit at your women friend Leaving you smiling from ear to ear, I'm at your neck I need more gold chains and better s** It never happens how you plan it, what's next? I'm in a Range with Ramos right now Another hour driving LJ's ghost right now The first time behind the wheel of a quarter mill I told myself, I need this feeling everyday by now But right now, I ain't eating, and it's hunting season I need three meals a day, I'm three M's away Get my mom a new place, give her moon she need space It's never not okay, and it's slave for yourself until that day What's up? [outro] It's the Greater Than Club, what's up, wa**up? It never happens how you plan it n***a But get your money how you planned it n***a Long as the ladies love a n***a, Imma always be that n***a Whats up?
