[T.I.] Still hustlin´ at five in the mornin´ These retro Jordan´s ain´t never walked a mile And I´m knowin´ no matter what they said, heavy the head
Who said shit would be simple? To get rich and stay out the trunks of Lincoln Continental Remember back to get by applyin´ fundamental In these streets you either eat or become dinner Ain´t shit to win when you already got it all But go from havin´ no options to buyin´ mansions, Versace and shit
[Watch the Duck] You don´t know the risk if you ain´t carried the weight If you ain´t never been down the road that wasn´t already paved Some shit I don´t remember, And some I´ll never forget Ain´t nobody give me nothin´, ain´t nobody tell me shit
Big ol´ drip
[T.I.] Okay, now all did our thang Now, can´t nobody tell me a bitch ass thang ´Cause there weren´t nobody around when it was me and the squad Trappin´ in the shadows, sellin´ crack in the dark Push boys, I wonder sometimes it didn´t matter to God That I didn´t have no hot water and my stomach would growlin´ Learned to think outside the box watchin´ niggas around me And bein´ stupid, that´ll have ya ass in the county And bein´ dumb´ll get ya shot, boy
Pay close attention when niggas run in your spot, ready for you to die That´s why you better have your head on a swivel and your antennas up Fucked around, get killed by a police the way you reachin´, bruh When the odds stacked up against you, if nothin´ eventually ain´t gained Gotta do more than sit and complain Every album I made was a product of pain You really think you ain´t gon´ change comin´ far as I came? Come on
[Watch the Duck] You don´t know the risk if you ain´t carried the weight If you ain´t never been down the road that wasn´t already paved
Some shit I don´t remember, and some I´ll never forget Ain´t nobody give me nothin´, ain´t nobody tell me shit Big ol´ drip
[T.I.] Dangerous lifestyle from jumpin´ the turnstile Refused to pipe down, the shit we would burn down Distress is everywhere, some shit you just gotta turn down And ain´t no freebies in this shit, you get what you earned now Yeah, you live and you learn but you reap what you sew And your intention ain´t what you´ll be held accountable for It´s your actions, it don´t matter what you do for yourself
If every time somebody call on you and you ain´t no help That ain´t no king shit All that stuff you buyin´, it don´t mean shit On some boost your self-esteem shit ´cause you ain´t seen shit Callin´ me an activist, stumbled on it by accident You can see I´m passionate but not a politician though On IG I´m killin´ that fashion shit, I be drippin´ with Raf Simons trench coat, cashmere turtleneck How did I get three piece pinstripe with the collar bar Rose gold cuff link, same as the Audemar?
[T.I.]
Hey, back against the wall, would you risk it all? I figure if I could get me some, I could get it all Started with a bankroll small as a tennis ball Now in my city I´m big as Pac and Biggie Smalls God with me, whom shall I fear There no more beggin´ folk for shit we oughta get ourselves, and Just so I´m clear, what it took to get here, you got no idea For real
[Watch the Duck] You don´t know the risk if you ain´t carried the weight If you ain´t never been down the road that wasn´t already paved
Some shit I don´t remember, and some I´ll never forget Ain´t nobody give me nothin´, ain´t nobody tell me shit Big ol´ drip
