4-4-4-4-4 Life

[Verse 1: Don Trip]
Yeah, dear younger me
I know the poverty stings like a bumblebee
Although money isn't everything, ain’t nothin' free
Some of your friends are your enemies underneath
I know you really wanna ball like the Summer League
But you gon' tear your ACL tryna run the streets
I know right now you got a fistful of broken dreams
But you know fall kills every leaf that grows in spring
So it’s comin' back around, be a little patient, let the tables turn
Hands-on, makin' nеw mistakes the only way you learn
Know you got a fistful of ragе 'cause you fatherless
You gon' have to channel it or end up in a lot of shit
I been where you are, I know how bad you wanna kill Mike
But Mom might testify against you, they gon' give you life
You and Pif might fight every night
But if you knew what I know, you'd run and hug him tight
You hold on to your big brother for dear life
'Cause nothin’ lasts forever and that’s life
But life is such a butterfly effect
You change one thing, you change everything else
So do what you do and keep stayin' true to you
You gon’ make it through what you goin' through, I'm livin' proof
And if you wanna rap, only rap about the truth
Sincerely, from the older you, now go and hug Pif
[Interlude: Don Trip]
Butterfly effect
Change one thing, you change everything, yeah
Such a butterfly effect
If you change one thing, you change everything else

[Verse 2: Starlito]
Listen, man, you might be built for a different game
Like R&B, risk and blame
Slow your roll, lil’ homie, take your time
You got time, you just ain't makin' time
Make 'em pay, don't let 'em patronize
Free your mind, ain't no tellin' what you may find
Keepin' it real gon' take longer, you know the shortest distance straight line
I'm here to tell you it ain't them, it's you
You could rap and finish school, adapt, don't let them limit you
You are good enough, you're just always in a rush
Just had a high-speed chase with a car full of what?
Sometimes, just let 'em have it instead of callin' n***as' bluff
Gon' have you fleein' from the scene like, "Open the garage, I'm pullin' up"
Butterfly effect and its collateral damage
My superpower's hindsight, I use that to my advantage
Beefin' over nothin', I still don't understand it
On ten toes is how you're standin', but, lil' homie, don't panic
You ain't goin' even if they know it, they might take it for granted
You got better things to look forward to like makin' a family
Breakin' generational curses, yeah, don't play with your purpose
Need to be mindful of what you say in them verses, real shit
Need to be wise about what you able to purchase
Seek out a bride, all of that player shit worthless
Let me be quiet, patient, virtuous
Why you ain't put a baby in ****? (Redacted)
[Outro: Starlito]
The butterfly effect and its collateral damage
My superpower's hindsight, I use that to my advantage
Butterfly effect and its collateral damage
My superpower's hindsight
Yeah
