When they ask me
I tell them life ain't no threat
You live and you learn
From what you never expect
To what you encounter firsthand
Before you move out the projects
It's like you workin extra hard
For something
Soon enough you will regret
That right turn you took
Where you should've made a left
Guess the blind man missing out
On seeing this ni99a go deaf
You either left with the fortune
Moving up the steps
Or damn well near rotten
Spoiled boy feelin himself
In case you wondering
What my mind tryna claim
Nothing fam I just want change
I wanna fresh start
Lord keep me well balance
So I don't fall off this X Mark
Where the people out here
Looking for me to give up
So I stand by clearly now
Watch these bands stack up
I rather not look back
On the past that I had
Some nights I stay up
Thinking about the good and the bad
Where I could've been stuck
Hands up holding the bag
But somebody put me under
Showed me off plenty hashtags
Didn't have no name
Didn't need no brand
The boy had a silly crush
So he bow at my command
Didn't take his kindness
For weakness at all
No dirt was under his nails
So he knew he was gettin them draws
Games were never played
When it came to us
But when you lose your first thought
The second one becomes a clutch
