[Chorus]
You either lose or you win, it ain't no in-between
Rarely followin' trends, everything ain't what it seems
Why criticize me? You've never done a thing
My contribution rings, my constitution is king

[Verse 1]
Principles ain't somethin' that interchange, they stick
May got the same blood, but the bond ain't thick
Steel sharpen steel, can't let a n***a slip
And fall down that hole; Joe, you better get a grip (Get a grip)
I'm buildin' brick by brick, piece by piece
Load up clip by clip for when I unleash
Your boy's a beast, don't make me turn back the old leaf
I'm on some new shit, but I'm still the old me
You read my stat sheet, you see it say "OP"
You don't believe me? Cop some tickets, just go see
You see me anywhere, it's prob'ly with a dope beat
I got rhymes prob'ly datin' back to '03

For real, though

[Chorus]
You either lose or you win, it ain't no in-between
Rarely followin' trends, everything ain't what it seems
Why criticize me? You've never done a thing
My contribution rings, my constitution is king
You either lose or you win, it ain't no in-betweens
Rarely followin' trends, everything ain't what it seems
Why criticize me? You've never done a thing
My contribution rings, my constitution is king
[Bridge]
Why y'all lookin' at me like I'm old 'cause I said '03?
Yeah, I said '03, motherfucker!
You know what I'm sayin'?
Y'all act like 29's the new 57

[Verse 2]
I'm on a paper trail, watchin' time pass up
All the blood, sweat and years start to add up
Been in this game, consistently runnin' bags up
Even before Mach-Hommy threw the mask up
They say all good things come to a end
I seen a lot of good things gone with the wind
All the losses, had to take 'em on the chin
Many takers tried to break us, but the power is within
Right
Many takers tried to break us, but the power is within

[Chorus]
You either lose or you win, it ain't no in-between
Rarely followin' trends, everything ain't what it seems
Why criticize me? You've never done a thing
My contribution rings, my constitution is king
You either lose or you win, it ain't no in-betweens
Rarely followin' trends, everything ain't what it seems
Why criticize me? You've never done a thing
My contribution rings, my constitution is king
