AT WHAT COST

Hahaha, say no more All good things end, we all heard that one before Whoever said that shit better prepare for a war 'Cause I'm good, I'll pass it on to generations and more As I should, 'cause I'm here and ain't no stoppin' of course I started dancing with my pen, I made the paper my floor I'm 'bout to be carrying the game, I better strengthen my core Are you happy where you're at? I said, "No bueno señor" If I knew my time was coming, I'd be waitin' too (I'd be waitin' too) Dead or alive, I swear to God I'll make it through (I'll make it through) I lost my brothers to this shit, look to the sky and I salute I looked my brother in his eyes, I almost cried, I miss you too (I miss you too) I needed help, they slammed the door Now I don't need shit, they offer favors like I'm poor (favors like I'm poor) I'm speeding fast, hope I don't crash I see red lights and I don't slow I hope I make it home Can't help, but look around and say, "This where I, this where I belong" Yeah, but at what cost? Should I have spent time with friends instead of being a boss? Should I have put down the mic and maybe take up lacrosse? I been tryna find myself and now my childhood's lost Wish I could put myself in ice, hope I never defrost I'm tryna call my younger years, but they won't answer my call at all I love my fam', but it's not showin' at all I ain't been playing catch with pops or chasing after a ball, oh God Wait a minute I do this for myself I do this for the people who ain't wanna wish me well So I, I gotta stay focused, I can't get knocked off my track I do this for my so-called friends, hatin' behind my back And those same people been congratulating me, lately "Oh my God Mabu, it's so impressive, you been goin' crazy" I just smile and shake they hand, it's kinda funny man Always knew my biggest haters would be my biggest fans Say no more All good things end, we all heard that one before Yeah, whoever said that shit better prepare for a war 'Cause I'm good, I'll pass it on to generations and more As I should, 'cause I'm here and ain't no stoppin' of course I started dancin' with my pen, I made the paper my floor I'm 'bout to be carrying the game, I better strengthen my core Are you happy where you're at? I said, "No bueno señor" I said, "No bueno señor" Are you happy where you're at? I said, "No bueno señor"
