You know say life na hard ting
Life no be easy ting
She una know as it be na, haffi work hard
Abblaze on the track alongside Mr. Brown
Hear me now!
Life weh we dey, no be joke ting
Shit gets real deep, like the ocean
Friends rival, for the dollar bill
Better know yourself, who you dealing with
This life we live is a journey
Put the past behind don't forget it
Hold yourself down, never give up
Roll with the punches going forward
Balance it all
Sometimes you hot, sometimes you cold
Sometimes you fast, sometimes you slow
Sometimes you down, sometimes you up
When you ask more, know what you asking for
Likkle ghetto youth ooo, tryna step it up
Hustle for your paper ooo, gotta step it up
Fall many times but haffi get up
Lil bro graduated from Weequahic, that was hectic
Gotta give thanks, Was a miracle
In Brick City gun popping like ringtones
Everything out here looking real spooky
Kings killing kings, what's the next thing?
Boss up, so you gotta stay sucker free
I thank God for his mercies and blessings
Daydreamed in my head bout better days
Cause every damn cloud has a lining
Want a crib on the beach in Miami
Bathrooms with a 4K TV
Makaveli through the rear view, the new me
Up all night, I be smoking
Remember them days to the city
I be getting higher than the ceiling
Spitting fire in the booth like a dragon
Step to me if you think say you badder
Get beat down than Kalakuta
They are just beginners, in pampers (But me?)
Originator, don dada
Life's a bitch, bought her many times things
Got her iced up and some diamond rings
She told me yes, did everything
Then she played me, left me for the next man
To my daughter, so you know I love you
Everything I do, baby girl, all for you
Stop the world for you, if I have to
That's the f*cking reason I go hard
Same old girl saying I ain't shit
Now she turn around, riding on my dick
Jingles from my keys, yea mind made up
Now we stepping up waiting on the bust-downs
This for them sad times in the mirror
From Orile, I dey walk to Coker
What you wanna do, baby girl come through
Me and your girlfriends, yea, we can ride through
Slide down on the highway, blow through
Some big weed, yea, you see me, roll through
What you gonna do, baby girl, roll through
Me and your friends, right now, blow through
Me and your friends, ride out, blow through
Some big blunts, yea, they can smoke too
No be me, Oluwa lo kemi oh, no be me
Oluwa lo kemi oh, no be me
Through the hard times oh, no be me
Even through the bad times, no be me
When dey criticize me oh, no be me
Even when I'm suffering, no be me
Balance it all, anyhow you see it, say
Balance it all
Humans like zombies, I no go lie
So, on my own
Do it by myself, on my own
I can get it done, on my own
Running with the bag, on my own
On the telephone, on my own
Making big deals, on my own
Life is a journey oh, on my own
It can get lonely oh, on my own, on my own.
Life weh we dey, no be joke ting
Shit gets real deep, like the ocean
Friends rival, for the dollar bill
Better know yourself, who you dealing with
This life we live is a journey
Put the past behind don't forget it
Hold yourself down, never give up
Roll with the punches going forward
