IZ Chozen Few - Even Up Lyrics

And everything I said I did, I had to prove to myself
Put my pain in this music, I turn my pain into passion
Made my pain out of laughter, with these words paint my struggle
Ambition came from my mother, was born a son of a hustler
Used to having no father, my friends became my brothers
I became my own father, I had to father myself
Never asked for a handout, I never needed they help
Purple heart for the casualties, pain that we really felt
We take a loss, then we avenge, sometimes revenge gotta be dealt
Protocols when we move, make sure we purging in stealth
Always going against the odds, I go to war by myself
And everything I said I did, I had to prove to myself
And I ain't worried about nobody, I'm improving myself
I did favors, never counted, I just wanted to help
Cut em off, for ulterior motives, they was snaking they self
I kept it real, they had fake love , they exposing they self
Hard to please everybody i need to clone myself
Ungrateful when you fed em, how you bite the hand that feed you
I can understand hyenas, I don't understand these leeches
Like false prophets and preachers, cut em off it made life easier
Made sure I advanced and surpassed em, now ain't no even up
Made sure I advanced and surpassed em, now ain't no even up
Always going against the odds, I go to war by myself
And everything I said I did, I had to prove to myself
Yeah, was too accessible, to those who was just questionable
Cut em out my circle then I started living life
Pockets full, yeah I'm good, yeah I'm moving right
I ain't tripping, yeah they hating, that's just hard life
Ain't no hard feelings, ain't no money in it
Got out my bag and got a bag and then I started building
Legitimate business, wonder how I did it
Mind your business, mind always on business
I ain't worried bout no bitches
Made sure I advanced and surpassed them, now ain't no even up
Made sure I advanced and surpassed em, now ain't no even up
Always going against the odds, I go to war by myself
And everything I said I did, I had to prove to myself
Always going against the odds, I go to war by myself
And everything I said I did, I had to prove to myself
And everything I said I did, I had to prove to myself
