I know i lived a short life
But the lessons eternal
Can't Ride with hot niggas
They too likely to burn you
Keep your heart from these hoes
They too likely to hurt you
When you see a nigga snake
Don't put no faith in his verbal
He Say he got your back
But that's position to merk you
He could say the sky is blue
I be like nigga it's purple
Try play me like a fool
I gotta play you like erkle
Man we was never safe
They ain't want us to be
My daddy tried to raise us
They ain't want him be free
I try to keep you woke
I'm tryna teach you to lead
But ignorance is blisss
That's why you wanna be sleep
You wanna be cheap
Success it come with a price
From tryna get this money
You'll see niggas get life
They put you in a box
Then dictate when you eat
Rehabilitation mean
They turning men into sheep
It's hard to find forgiveness
When they feeding you lies
You lost somebody to the system
It's like a part of you died
I watch my grandmother cry
Her only son was cuffs
Tell the truth I cried too
But I was tryna be tough
So many nights
I contemplated my sins
I let the devil be the means
For the holiest ends
Wonder why I was so lonely
I had so many friends
When shit be looking shady
Gotta switch up the lens
That why I'm
Tryna focus on the positives
Keep my destinations places where them dollars is
Nigga focus on the positives
Don't be listening to them bitches on that drama shit
Next line prolly realist shit I ever wrote
Don't be tryna save hoes when you f*cking broke
Focus on the positives
Keep yo destinations places where them dollars is
My apologies
Pressure made me let you see this side of me
All the shit I kept deep in my diary
But I'd be a liar if I said it won't inside of me
And it's entirely too much
Betrayal of my trust
Feeling like I'm not enough
Wonder why it's hard to cuff
My account ain't got a dime but I'm hoodrich
I got pocket full of dimes of that good shit
I never pay no attention what them folk said
I knew my daddy loved us cause he broke bread
Tryna focus on the positives
Keep my destinations places where them dollars is
Nigga focus on the positives
Don't be listening to them bitches on that drama shit
Next line prolly realist shit I ever wrote
Don't be tryna save hoes when you f*cking broke
Focus on the positives
Keep yo destinations places where them dollars is
