Chorus

If you get the chance to get out of that shit, do

Before it’s gone or you gone too

Some things are out of your control

But it’s up to you to make the most of the situation though

You can’t depend on other people to take care of your own shit

Think of it like you’re your only friend

Verse 1

Tried not to have a short fuse

Walking that line trying not to let it build up inside and go boom

Bent rules when the odds got stacked

Looking over my shoulder, gotta watch my back

Doing shit nobody knew about

Spinning records like I got 8 legs now

Early birds get caught by the owl

Why you on the corner waiting for some shit to go down?

Too bad you couldn’t put that other shit down

So sad you probably safer there than at school now

I understand what you’re going through

I’ve had my share of going through it too

It aint no joke

But you can’t let it get the best of you

Cuz it’ll get the rest of you

It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there all alone

Running with the pack just to get a bone

Chorus

If you get the chance to get out of that shit, do

Before it’s gone or you gone too

Some things are out of your control

But it’s up to you to make the most of the situation though

You can’t depend on other people to take care of your own shit

Think of it like you’re your only friend

Verse 2

Out there trying not to get smoked

While equipped with some dope

Now I’d rather leave that shit alone

Working the nine to five just to get some kind of hope

If not you got to be on your toes

24-7-365

It’s like a ballerina to be a baller before you die

I’d rather be able to sit back and kick my feet up

Without a worry when I decide to blaze some weed up

Chorus

If you get the chance to get out of that shit, do

Before it’s gone or you gone too

Some things are out of your control

But it’s up to you to make the most of the situation though

You can’t depend on other people to take care of your own shit

Think of it like you’re your only friend
