Chorus- Fool me once shame on you, fool
Me twice shame on me/

Do it right or pay the price, what’s
The cost of living free/

All these scars, times was hard
Softly it was killing me/

Needed change flags on all my
Plays that came with penalties/ 2x

V1- Have mercy on my soul for the shit
That I didn’t know/

Blind to the fact but all my true colors
Started to show/

Was out of stock now I got so much in
Store (sto)/

Heard the knock at the door (doe)

Chose seeds over greed cause I
Just wanted to grow/

Make sure I plant it (planet)
Before I leave this earth/

Seeing my sons birth was my rebirth/

Never believed everything that I
Heard, I had to see it first/

The tide was to coming to clean us all
I had to learn to surf/

Shit even fought for my turf

This growth so captivating I don’t
Mind being a hostage/

How will I ever teach myself if I don’t
Acknowledge/

Fuck college, and a mansion shit I’m
Cool with a cottage/

Don’t know my worth so n***as
Scared to homage/

To be honest I can still speak Ebonics
And get my point across/

Too unique/

Shit stuck in my teeth so I had to floss/

I follow suit like Hugo, became
My own boss/

Treated deniers like remotes In the
Couch, told em get lost/

I was in trouble, start seeing
Double my eyes was crisscrossed/

Didn’t have time to make amigos I was
Bout to take off/

Stuck in a cage like Nicholas, Got sick
Of it sick John Travolta, so it was time
To face off/

Even had to shoot my shot 100
Times like Young Dolph no days off/

I will never give up, laying flat on my
Back/

Shit will never work out if I don’t sit up/

Always left my shovel out so ain’t shit
That you can dig up/

Cancer filled the city from every cig
(sig) that was lit up/

Born in a dark place/

Went through a heartbreak/

But I wouldn’t know shit if I didn’t
Make mistakes/

Slow and steady wins the race/

This is a mirror match and I’m going
Face to face/

This no debate/

Sorry not sorry Jeff Hardy, I had to
Twist the fate/

A lost cause moving place
To place/

Myself I had to cultivate/

Took some time to initiate/

The pain started to alleviate/

Locked up in my own prison I was
Beyond scared straight/

Can’t let my son have these same
Traits/

Standing in line, it’s a long wait/

I knew it was the right time, I was just
In the wrong place/

Started moving out like billy Joel
And got a bigger space/

I couldn’t wait/

Finally found the combination to
Crack the my safe/

Can’t believe what’s inside/

Chorus- Fool me once shame on you, fool
Me twice shame on me/

Do it right or pay the price, what’s
The cost of living free/

All these scars, times was hard
Softly it was killing me/

Needed change flags on all my
Plays that came with penalties/ 2x
