[Intro]
Conversations with my father I just gotta work harder shit I just gotta work smarter
Open your eyes never let loose with your pride
Take your time put God first instead of waiting in line
And regrettably I've neglected his presence by the time he realize

[Scratched Hook]
You realize that it's
It's every man for they self

[Verse 1]
He say you can't depend on tomorrow or rely on today
Make sure what you living for ain't worth dying in vain
I got a lot of love on my mind
I've been trying to find balance in my thoughts
Trying to finesse the scale to influence the position that I'm in
Try not to stray yourself too far and get lost
I'm rolling up another one
Because that last L really ain't do nothing but remind me of my last L
We all takers sometimes but it's been taking some time
For me to bounce back from my back being smacked
Between a rock and a hard place it's what you make it
The hard times never last sometimes you gotta give sometime you gotta take it
Nothing in the way of the moves I'm potentially making
That even goes to my mistakes
I see my face reflecting right in front of me talking to myself
Facing my problems never run I put my cleats up on a shelf
Slowly finding peace with myself
Piecing together everything all I can do is hope that it stay
Cause you know how things get changed by the day
Hopin' that God brings some positive change to my way
I'm positive I can change the frame in the way that they view us
Show em it's more than music my words can recruit the clueless
Show em how we do this
It ain't no [?] work as hard as you dreamin'
Watch for this next in between the route that you takin'
My wisdom came from all the mistakes I've been makin'
I was 17 and just graduated
Second week of the summer still getting congratulated
I was just happy that I wasn't doing no calculating
It feels like that's what my life had really activated
I was active with my n***a Martin
Was going hard hitting every open mic in the hopes to become better artists
But what we couldn't farther from where we thought we was headed
Sometimes your pride can get in the way of your lessons
The more I grew the more we grew apart
I was selfless I couldn't see he was selfish from the start
That's what I get for thinking with my heart
Instead of using that in my mind
At the same time that's when I realized
That it's every man for they self
That's when I understand every man needs some help
