[Verse 1]
Ay, ay, ay, yeah, yeah, hey, look uh
You know the real gon' always stand out, ****
The fake gon' always lose, uh, look
[Verse 2]
When there's a will, better know there's a way, hey
Time to separate the real from the fake, uh
**** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay, yeah
Tryna play with mine, better plan a wake, uh
[Verse 3]
Better play it safe
Whole lotta sticks slidin' on the interstate
You know we can't be worryin' 'bout what they gon' say
You know we can't be worried, everybody gon' hate
[Verse 4]
A whole lotta hate, where the love at, yeah, hey
I knew that one day I would get saved
I knew that one day I would get paid
Now I'ma ball on 'em like Dikembe, hey
[Verse 5]
Where there's a will, no, ****, there's a way
I guess it's time to separate the real from the fake
A **** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay
A **** tryna play with mine, he better plan a wake, oh, oh
[Verse 6]
Still pop a rose for ever tint I shade
I think these **** tryna hit my hay
I go to sleep every night good knowin' that the clique got fed
Feds came, the whole clique got grabbed, I think this shit might spread
[Verse 7]
Ten bands for the lawyer in case they do come
These killers around me, they gon' wan' eat when the food done
Kick 'em off the table, they try to plot on a new one
That's why I fully loaded this forty in case they do come
[Verse 8]
They want me back to servin' the fiends, back to runnin' from D's
I built a team they couldn't come in between
Always had the diamond fetish for the watch, it was me
Harlem, ****, still will spin your block with knots in my jeans
[Verse 9]
Still grindin', get the clique paid
I know that one day we gon' be straight
Love my bro's to death but you know shit changed
Can't wait to see the day that we all made it
[Verse 10]
When there's a will, better know there's a way, hey
Time to separate the real from the fake, uh
**** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay, yeah
Tryna play with mine, better plan a wake, uh
[Verse 11]
Better play it safe
Whole lotta sticks slidin' on the interstate
You know we can't be worryin' 'bout what they gon' say
You know we can't be worried, everybody gon' hate
[Verse 12]
A whole lotta hate, where the love at, yeah, hey
I knew that one day I would get saved
I knew that one day I would get paid
Now I'ma ball on 'em like Dikembe, hey
[Verse 13]
Where there's a will, no, ****, there's a way
I guess it's time to separate the real from the fake
A **** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay
A **** tryna play with mine, he better plan a wake, oh, oh
[Verse 14]
Uh, long nights on that corner, huh
Big dice game, I used to strike on that corner
Yeah, big bank, but that ain't the only thing we got on us
Yeah, poop game, we only got love for the money, uh
[Verse 15]
In this game, if you ain't turn nothin' to somethin'
Then you hustlin' for nothin', I came up off an onion
A whole lotta situations turned me to a monster
I had to sit and be patient but I remained humble
[Verse 16]
I always knew that I would make it, I'm street smart plus I'm educated
I worked hard plus I never hated
I hurt me hard when they took my baby
We was in the basement, but we ain't never say shit
[Verse 17]
A whole lotta miscommunications
A whole lotta fake love, what have you done lately?
Before I came up, you never told me I would make it
But I knew that one day I would make it, yeah (Uh, look)
[Verse 18]
When there's a will, better know there's a way, hey
Time to separate the real from the fake, uh
**** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay, yeah
Tryna play with mine, better plan a wake, uh
[Verse 19]
Better play it safe
Whole lotta sticks slidin' on the interstate
You know we can't be worryin' 'bout what they gon' say
You know we can't be worried, everybody gon' hate
[Verse 20]
A whole lotta hate, where the love at, yeah, hey
I knew that one day I would get saved
I knew that one day I would get paid
Now I'ma ball on 'em like Dikembe, hey
[Verse 21]
Where there's a will, no, ****, there's a way
I guess it's time to separate the real from the fake
A **** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay
A **** tryna play with mine, he better plan a wake, oh, oh
[Verse 22]
When there's a will, better know there's a way, hey
Time to separate the real from the fake, uh
**** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay, yeah
Tryna play with mine, better plan a wake, uh
[Verse 23]
Better play it safe
Whole lotta sticks slidin' on the interstate
You know we can't be worryin' 'bout what they gon' say
You know we can't be worried, everybody gon' hate
[Verse 24]
A whole lotta hate, where the love at, yeah, hey
I knew that one day I would get saved
I knew that one day I would get paid
Now I'ma ball on 'em like Dikembe, hey
[Verse 25]
Where there's a will, no, ****, there's a way
I guess it's time to separate the real from the fake
A **** tryna take mine, he gon' have to pay
A **** tryna play with mine, he better plan a wake, oh, oh
