Something To Live For
[Intro]
I think my mother was probably old—
Proudest of my oldest brother, you know I'm sayin'?
He died on some— you know I'm sayin'? Crazy coincidence shit
But then I think to myself like what if I lose my daughter?
Like what I'ma do? Like where I'ma go in life? (I can't go back)
I'm doin' all this shit for my kid, you know I'm sayin'? (Fendi, you're my favorite)
I think about the shit that I wanna do
And I— and I think to myself, I can't put her through that shit, bro
You know I'm sayin'? I gotta keep pushin'
I gotta try my hardest to be me in this shit and make it somewhere (Huh, you ready?)
[Chorus]
I'm like, what if I'm already tryin' my hardest?
Fuck that, what if I'm already done for?
Her oldest son already died, so now she got dreams of seeing her son more (Now she got dreams of seeing her son more)
But that's how it is in the trenches, I'm happy, I finally got somethin' to live for (I'm happy, I finally got somthin' to live for)
This rap shit payin' me good, I finally got time to be with my kid more (You ready? Uh-huh)
[Verse]
I'm really a dad, the shit that I do for my kid, the shit that I never regret (I never regret that shit)
Young n***a never saw his graduation, he hopped in the streets and died for the set (He ain't even see that stage)
N***as gon' hate on a n***a, I bet
N***as gonna want to be me, but he can't be me, he ain't been through 'nough shit yet
I do this shit for my dog in the hood, the n***as who don't want get out the 'jects
The n***as who don't want get out the streets (The n***as who don't, huh)
The n***a who ain't been trying his best (Come on)
The n***a who tired of everybody playin' with 'em (The n***a who tired)
The n***a who really got shit on his chest (I can't go back)
The n***as who really been losin' they heart and the n***as who ain' 'een got none left
I thought bitches was really gon' ride for me, then I went broke and they left
I go right, lil' bro go left (I go right, lil' bro go left)
Dumpin' the clip 'til ain't shit left (Grrt, grrt)
I know a n***a who wanna be Curry, but he done drop more shots then Steph (He done drop more shots than Curry)
Droppin' the opps, who gon' give 'em the Sunday, come that morning and clear out the street
Some n***as better in life with a football, I don't know why he stop puttin' on cleats (Huh, dumb-ass n***a)
N***a, that's where you lost me
I lose all that shit right now and let you have whatever that cost me (I let you have this shit)
I lose all that shit right now and let you have whatever it is (Whatever it is)
I should call up some of my old friends, I ain't talk to them n***as in years (I ain't talk to them n***as in years)
[Chorus]
I'm like what if I'm already tryin' my hardest? (What if I'm already tryin' my hardest in this shit)
Fuck that, what if I'm already done for?
Her oldest son already died, so now she got dreams of seeing her son more
But that's how it is in the trenches, I'm happy, I finally got somethin' to live for (That's how it is in this shit)
This rap shit payin' me good, I finally got time to be with my kid more (This rap shit payin' me good)
I'm like what if I'm already tryin' my hardest? (What if I'm already tryin' my hardest?)
Fuck that, what if I'm already done for? (Fuck that)
Her oldest son already died, so now she got dreams of seeing her son more (Now she got dreams of seeing her son more)
But that's how it is in the trenches, I'm happy, I finally got somethin' to live for (That's how it is in this life, n***a)
This rap shit payin' me good, I finally got time to be with my kid more (Finally got time)
