Life is hard
But God is great
Soaked up all the game throwed my way my nigga I listened
I learned from the greats and past mistakes I paid attention
I learned the road to riches was paved with ill intentions
I did some shit with my niggas I swear I'll never mention
As a result some of my people sit in penitentiary
I'll do anything to help you get through with that sentence
It's nothing to put money on your books nothing to visit
Cus I don't understand what it's like to be sitting in prison
Heard the view from the top was beautiful wish you seen it
The bottom is dirty as f*ck somebody should clean
It
I don't trust a sole I never told none of my
Secrets
You're life's an open book the question is nigga who readin it
These days all eyes be on your past mistakes
If we was rated by people views what would rate
Top five out of five nigga where would you rank
I gives no f*cks about none of that just let me great
Let me escape, press replay
If we did it all over again would anything change
And if we did it all the same then what would be gained
And If you get nothing out of it then who is to blame
Supplied work to some of these niggas call me indeed
I'm beefing with these same niggas all over they greed
I never been the one to turn my back on those in need
All I wanted was to see all of my folks succeed
You reap what you sow, so I planted that seed
I watched you niggas grow in hopes you wouldn't turn to the streets
Posted on the block trying to hide from the police
Put something up for your children so they'll know that they free
The plan was always to create generational wealth
They say the other side is sunny just take the first step
But some moves are hard to make when you make'm yourself
I understand the satisfaction in not taking help
Strap up your boots, tighten your belt
Committed to getting it like it's really nothing else
Since they took everything and threw us what evers left
Strategic moves made they prayed on our mental health
Made'm feel played the way we play the cards we're delt
They thought they had us stuck somehow we escaped while they slept
The whips and chains couldn't keep us from moving in stealth
The hate you gave was given back just to show how it felt
The story of my Life is still untold and incomplete
The latest chapter starts with free my brother till he free
I always told him keep your head up and stay on your feet
No matter what never believe that this is your defeat
Cus life is hard but God is great when you believe
Your circumstances can't negate the fact we came from Kings
Four hundred years of oppression couldn't block what we achieve
Don't focus on what's lost cus we destined for greater things
Reparations just a small part of reaching the dream
Which seems impossible but nothing's ever what it seems
Eyes on the prize we seeing things that we've never seen
The Good the bad and everything that lye's in between
We hating on Kamala they playing the Trump card
They ride for each other we can't even get in the car
We destined for greatness I seen it written in the states
If we can't pull our people up how can we go far
We can't expect change if we don't wanna go hard
Four years the same episode when the new show start
We'll beat'em at their own game if we just play the cards
You either open your eyes or you remain in the dark
