Success is promised to no one, I puff cess/ progress depends on my steps/ but it's all right, and I'm quite blessed/ through foresight I plan to get where I aint arrived yet/ I can't see me just getting by/ So I strive, not to survive, but to be living the life/ in quotes, And then I look at my kinfolk, I think hope/ though some living in sin broke and shit holes/ The trick avoiding the thick skulls that go with the wind blow/ distracted by nymphos and sagging they thin clothes/ this list goes on and one its basically endless/ Who gon’ step up to the plate, tell me who gon’ end it/ who gonna mend it, who feel offended/ who gonna use the word real in the manner intended/ manner intended. manner intended/ who gon’ see the light, who gonna see the dark in they friend list/ who gon’ jeopardize life just to not be unfriended/ Who gon’ be against the wise and continue the ignorance/ who gon’ play a blind eye to the side that ain't into this/ to the side that's inside that only self knows intimate/ to the side we disguise just to hide we really is/ but surprise. I'm alive. I survived all the silliness/ Could’ve died on the ride and I wouldn't be spitting this/ could’ve died homicide or the wonder when the killing/ but I am doing the killing as I break it down, rebuild it/ This ain't a breakdown nah. its a takeover/ what I sacrifice now will multiply when I'm older/ Put in a lot of long nights. became a loner/ no spending in the club. Got cause to stay sober/ Way to show ‘em. Wait, wait. My game is growing/ Let them hate, hate, hate away. That means they knowing/ That means they knowing, yeah, yeah. They be knowing/ They be knowing. That only means they be knowing/ known as a L.O, ghetto. The son of Tito/ Father forever love you from your son, me despido/ See him over on the other side/ But not before I lay claim to what I work to make mine/ its a Doggy Dog. Man, eat man, kind of world/ so I keep my hands, Manny fast, damn he fast, kinda jabs/ my timings back. You can say I'm in fight form/ they don't want it. Better ask them if it's right for ‘em/ or let them say goodnight to them/ What's on my mind is me and mine, you and yours. Can get it if we grind/ who tryna to put that work in without merking/ Father to your kids, ****, know what's important/ See, we can stop the hurting. Yeah, that's for certain/ To reach the surface all we need now is a little purpose/ If we don't do it now, then its surely curtains/ might as well take a bow to a crowd that ain't about shit/ What you hope and pray about/ what you lay awake late to the early day, about/ I cant make the change for you. I could only point it out/ help you understand and explain to you a better route/ any weather through a downpour or drought/ we gonna get that shit together. We gonna get it no doubt/
