[Verse 1: Jerreau]

Yeah, T.G.T.C
Hank Gathers, Len Bias
Trying to make it in this game, n***as die trying
Giving up takes more effort than trying
Aaliyah told me "brush ya self off, then try again"
So I did, this is the life that we live
What you expect? No wife, no kids
And I remember everything that we did
So 12 AM we gon' do it again
I need everything I ever wanted right now
Tomorrow ain't promised girl, we gotta do it now
I wanna see the moon before the sun goes down
A note to self; don't let me down
Uh, I never wear my heart on my sleeve
Even when Comme des Garçons on me
Some girls like my cologne, it's all on me
I boost they self esteem, it's all on me
But you can't slay em all, can't win em all
Even the Bulls lost 10 games, that '96 squad
It's open gym, man, they trying to get chose
I play a good pick up game, I had her at, "Hello"

[Chorus] 2x
They only love you when you got something for em
I got nothing but love for em
You know, it's only right that I show off for em
Pull of in something foreign

[Verse 2: Jerreau]

My city's like villains gone bad, and it's gettin worse
How you cope with the pain when it hurts?
Do you drink to forget? do you smoke when you depressed?
I face it like make up
Where I'm from, I never seen wealth close up
Now I got friends that drive hoopties and Porsche trucks
But I'm far in between, my pops expects more of me, morally
He asks why I don't come to church? "I went out last night, don't stone me"
He ain't perfect and he don't expect me to be
The prodigal son will return, have faith in me
Until then, where the women and the Hennessy?
Cause I don't want to be a hypocrite
And I don't wanna tell folks how to live
If that ain't me, who are you?
And when it hits the fan, I'm too cool
I never argue with fools
Don't bite the hand that feeds you, even your own
How could you live in a house that's not a home?
And I act like I been in the end zone
So when life gives you lemons, tell her to add Patron
[Chorus] 2x
