Yeah, that´s what we´re gonna do We gon´ talk about the street shit Ayy, look
I don´t care ´bout haters, I´m only concerned what hustlers think
But I think it´s time I finally address this publicly It´s rubbin´ me the wrong way when these rappers speak comfortably ´Bout street life, it seem like they only givin´ y´all luxuries I sat on work when I was positive it would sell You know this game come with way more consequences than jail Bittersweet when you went in it deep, gassed up a rented V Travelin´ with a key while I´m passin´ through Tennessee Told baby girl I´d be back, she said be careful I told baby girl I´d be strapped, that made her worry more Street niggas live by dirty laws, I got my stripes, how you earnin´ yours?
Can´t let these niggas think I´m turnin´ soft It´s gonna be hard to convince kids But honestly, losses taught me more than my wins did It´s complicated, I can´t see it, work hard to just break even We traded that for them great beaches in St. Regis Trust me, there´s two sides, one glamorous, other scandalous These symptoms of abandonment, we suffer damages I was you, not comprehendin´ or understandin´ it Losses turn into pain, then they become advantages, ah
You know that´s real shit Sometimes you gotta lose something to gain something
There´s two sides to this shit For every nigga, for every nigga you see out here winnin´ It´s a hundred niggas still in the trenches, man Don´t forget about that This shit chess, man, we makin´ boss moves You can´t be making cheap mistakes, feel me? Remember that shit Be careful nigga, that´s comin´ from a nigga who did everything And this the Burden of Proof, uh
