[Intro]
Friends go, it was simple
When the ends low, switch the tempo

[Chorus]
When my friends go, it was simple
When the ends low, switch the tempo
I got right, I got heart, I won't die, I'ma fight
I go down, bet I strike, I go hard, day or night

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I go hard, day or night
One of one, no surprise, see the hate in they eyes (Whoa, whoa)
My brothers bet money bleedin' (Bet money bleedin')
I got the game in a squeeze (Game in a squeeze)
What would you do for some green? (For some green)
What would you do for some blues? Go pick or choose: the fam, or the cheese?
Some people not built like that (Not built like that)
Some people get killed like that (Doot-doot-boom-boom)
Pressure like water, lights, mortgage, I been had bills like that (Been had bills like that)
Now I got kids like that (Now I got kids like that)
No wonder why I feel like that (Wonder why I feel like that)

[Pre-Chorus]
Some people go to war for nothin', me, I go to war for somethin'
Some people need knives and guns, same ones just talk and run
Some people go to war for nothin', me, I go to war for somethin'
Some people need knives and guns, same ones just talk and run
[Chorus]
When my friends go, it was simple
When the ends low, switch the tempo
I got right, I got heart, I won't die, I'ma fight
I go down, bet I strike, I go hard, day or night

[Verse 2]
Money on the line, keep callin' (Brrt)
Money on the books need all that (All that)
My kids' kids, they'll be ballin' (Boom)
Got a real bankroll, not for Instagram, my Mama on the line, keep callin' (Brrt)
Prayin' for me, know I need all that
Told me it's not about ballin' (No-no)
Real blessed, but I'm still sinnin', man
What would you do for a win? (A win)
What would you do for your friends? (Your friends)
What if this life is a fault? (Whoa)
What if it all is pretend? (Whoa)
What if you rode to the end? (End)
What if you started again? (Again)
This is real life, not a game (No-no)
I fight my battles to win (Battles to win)

[Pre-Chorus]
Some people go to war for nothin', me, I go to war for somethin'
Some people need knives and guns, same ones just talk and run
Some people go to war for nothin', me, I go to war for somethin'
Some people need knives and guns, same ones just talk and run
[Chorus]
When my friends go, it was simple
When the ends low, switch the tempo
I got right, I got heart, I won't die, I'ma fight
I go down, bet I strike, I go hard, day or night
