They told us study hard and stay in school
Graduate then go to college, follow all them rules
You go through life thinking that you done gathered all the tools
But all they did was give you formula to f*cking lose
That's why I stick and move till something start to stick and move
Prove myself time and time again
Lookinh up to niggas now they tell me I inspire them
I just quit my job but all I need is bout a years time
And you can hit me up to get some work cause I'll be hiring
Product of my environment
But I beat statistics
Mastering my supply chain, certified in logistics
I done worked from retail to the f*cking bacon business
Military, sold weed, name a job I bet I did it nigga
And within a couple months I bet I quit it nigga
Not because I'm lazy, shit just wasn't in my vision nigga
See the bigger picture, all you see's the pension nigga
Hard to talk wealth with a temporary riches nigga
Listen nigga
I'm too f*cking great for all this average living
When you having children When I run my hands across a million
Are you gonna give in
I ain't stopping til my grave is filled in
Need my name across a check, across a lease, across a building
Faith in my abilities and never have I lost the feeling
Hell you niggas did for me, I really had to go and get it
Hustle like 350k put on a honda civic
Shit been through a lot but that lil muf*cka still kicking
They told us study hard and stay in school
Graduate then go to college, follow all the rules
You go through life thinking that you done gathered all the tools
But all they did was give you formula to f*cking lose
But I got shit to do, I'm betting on myself nigga
Ride or not , either way I don't need your help nigga
They gone regret leaving me couped up on that shelf nigga
I'm bout to make my muthaf*ckin presence felt nigga
Put that down on everything I love
Gave up everything I love
Just to breathe life to the very thing I love
And I came to conclusion that that's myself
I been so in tuned with my spirit and my soul
If I died I prolly wouldn't even know, f*ck death
I can't fear the only thing I know that's promised to me
I just ask while I'm alive that you pay homage to me
Ten months can't remember last time my momma called me
With that being said I don't expect nobody not to cross me
Taking losses to the chin in public, hunger in my stomach
Know some niggas wondering how long it be til I say f*ck it
Guess they didn't know this shit was written out in stone
Spread across the stars and seas
Hate to see it but man you gotta love it
And I gotta come up, I ain't giving all I got for nothing
Woke before the sun up, I can't sleep the way my mind be running
All I hads a couple hundred
Flipped it to a couple grand
Never touch my savings, on my Nipsey
All money in
I need more than pony tails to put inside these rubber bands
Here to stay, these niggas temporary like a summer tan
Greatest gift that I could ever give the world is love and hope
Greatest gift I ever gave myself's believing that I CAN
They told us study hard and stay in school
Graduate then go to college, follow all them rules
You go through life thinking that you done gathered all the tools
But all they did was give you formula to f*cking lose
But I got shit to do, I'm betting on myself nigga
Ride or Not, either way I don't need your help nigga
They gone regret leaving me couped up on that shelf nigga
I'm bout to make my muthaf*ckin presence felt nigga
Put that down on everything I love
