TALA - Stuck To The Code lyrics

Hook: I stuck to the code man I honored it I got accepted to colleges But they do not have all the knowledges To get you through life and its obstacles They never told me about going broke They never taught me to stay afloat They never taught me to make it work They never taught me to put in work Verse 1: I had to get that sh** on my own Get to that cheddar that provolone All of them goals you stay focused on Never lose sight of what's going on Always take note of what's going wrong Before that sh** just go on and on It's off the hook that's a cordless phone That's off my chest like its Mardi Gras I know the time don't need Audemars If it don't work then we order more You gotta know its an art to war Check the mirrors when you park the car You don't know if n***as watching ya They in the windows with binoculars Trying to plot on how they stopping ya Cause they not liking when you're popular Hook: I stuck to the code man I honored it I got accepted to colleges But they do not have all the knowledges To get you through life and its obstacles They never taught me about going broke They never taught me to stay afloat They never taught me to make it work They never taught me to put in work Verse 2: I had to learn that sh** by myself I had to focus on fam and health I had to focus on gaining wealth Being broke you don't know how it felt Maxing out the credit card If I use my debit card Call it and report it fraud Every night I prayed to God Hoping that he came through I hope I got some change too I felt the hunger pains too It's like the Hunger Games 2 Survival of the fittest All this sh** I lived I stayed on my pivot I knew I had to get it Hook: I stuck to the code man I honored it I got accepted to colleges But they do not have all the knowledges To get you through life and its obstacles They never taught me about going broke They never taught me to stay afloat They never taught me to make it work They never taught me to put in work Verse 3: I had to show myself how to do it I was out there had to bust maneuvers I couldn't stay on that bus and do it So I saved up for my f**ing Buick I learned the game I'm a A Plus student I couldn't be out here looking foolish I had to make them tracks going stupid I had to watch and then learn the blueprint Hook: I stuck to the code man I honored it I got accepted to colleges But they do not have all the knowledges To get you through life and its obstacles They never taught me about going broke They never taught me to stay afloat They never taught me to make it work They never taught me to put in work Verse 4: I had to stay on my ten toes I had to switch up the tempo I raised the bar this ain't limbo I had them hits just like Kimbo I had to strengthen my mental I stayed on point sharpened pencils Y'all don't say sh** instrumentals All y'all boys sweet like some Mentos Gotta get it I can't wait a minute When you go broke you see paper different Spend all that sh** you can't take it with ya They not your friends they won't make it with ya I got your back I'll make us richer n***as got priors I ain't talking Richard You know me I see the bigger picture I stuck to the code I ride for my n***as Hook: I stuck to the code man I honored it I got accepted to colleges But they do not have all the knowledges To get you through life and its obstacles They never taught me about going broke They never taught me to stay afloat They never taught me to make it work They never taught me to put in work
