Verse 1 As these years pass and I make dough, like every time I trim my lawn I see these snakes show. For every two allies I lose I make like 8 foes. Nightmares of the gavel dropping and hearing case closed. Woow, you snitch you should dead, cause my love ones need love but from love only they can't be fed. I double down on my dollars, ante up on my honor, raise you on my loyalty and go all in on my karma. Talk about facts, let's talk about facts. Y'all ain't talking bout money, let's talk about that, let's talk about that. You ain't talkin that real niggas pardon my back, niggas pardon my back. they know where i’m at, cause the goal is a billion, already made a million and these other niggas always getting jealous bout that (bllaaaaaackkk). I’m dat nigga where I live, niggas can’t do the shit that I did, let alone sell the shit that sold, better yet spot the shit the weight that I hold. When you successful shit get stressful all these vultures round to get you and they motives be so vengeful. Hook Better Look Over Your Shoulder, Keep Ya Head On A Swivel Nigga Cause The Streets Is Getting Colder, Keep Ya Hand Near The Trigga There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nah There No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nah There Ain’t No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust Nigga There’s No Trust…….. Verse 2 (Xhale) Let me get my Uncle Ruckus on. Trust em'...naw. No new niggaz, I like old school Jigga. Too much on my plate like a soul food dinner. Turn me up, more tattoos on the flesh. Thirty-plus, ain't no losing my step. Impervious, yep, I don't move from a threat...Ice Cube, Next Friday afternoon, Mike Epps. Bros before hoes, nigga. Speaking of hoe niggaz. Burned me like a stove and a...coke dealer. Oh...Kill em'. Both middle...fingers in the sky. Never mix biz with the people on your side...of family, can it be damaging? Yes. My sanity has to be manic depressed. Ask me to bury these hatchets? No more audacity left. Ratchet who actually had me impressed...till after she stabbed me in cavity chest. Reality check. Next. Gimme room, need space like absence of gravity steps. Never shake hands...if number is not on my Galaxy S...the strategy best. Ex-chick got the exit, know that X is...never been the one who fought over broads. Should have guessed it from the breast pics you text message...you would auction them off. To the high-bidder. Condom or raw. Snakes in the grass, I mow off the lawn. Sit back, relax and...be glad my black ass...didn't drop names. This is God dang! Hook Better Look Over Your Shoulder, Keep Ya Head On A Swivel Nigga Cause The Streets Is Getting Colder, Keep Ya Hand Near The Trigga There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nah There No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nah There’s No Trust, Nah There Ain’t No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust, Nigga There’s No Trust Nigga There’s No Trust……..

Pre-Chorus All My Day 1 Niggas Put Ya Bottles Up No New Friends Look Around It’s Obvious We About Life We Don’t Really Talk As Much Cause It’s Loyalty Over Everything……………. Verse 1 UNO Entertainment Nigga We The Same Click, Same Niggas I Ride With, That’ll Maim Shit, Same Niggas For No Reason Will Let The K Spit Be The Same Niggas You Notice At The Arraignment. Never Tell Never Snitch How The Message Read, Only He Who Abide Can Stand Next To Me. Hustle Hard, Hustle Smart, Go And Get The Cream. L.O.E. We Loyalty Over EVERYTHING. For The Team It’s Nothing To Miss A Couple Meals, For The Team My Niggas Will Get It In The Field, We The Team Where It’s Standard To Always Keep It Real, If I Get It, We All Get It Or Skip The Deal. We A Secret Society It’s A New Life, For Everyone In The Circle The Kid Will Do LIfe, For The Team Successes Are Like A New Vice, So If We All Can’t Eat We Need A New Price. Full Chorus All My Day 1 Niggas Put Ya Bottles Up No New Friends Look Around It’s Obvious We About Life We Don’t Really Talk As Much Cause It’s Loyalty Over Everything……………. Never Speak, Problems We Keep It In The Pham If One Eat, We All Eat Stick To The Plan Do Ya Time, Never Resort To The Stand Cause It’s Loyalty Over Everything……………. Verse 2 Pham Up My Nigga, We The Same Click, When It Come To Loyalty These Nigga’s Is A-List. The Code We Live Is If You Owe It You Pays It, And If You Can't Deliver It Never Say Shit. Round Here There's No Tolerance For Dishonor, Leave You Hanging From The Bang Like Vince Carter, On This Side You Get Loyalty Before You Get Dollars, And If You Cross The Familia Then You Get Karma. Pause, It’s A Marriage But Minus The Alter, Life & Death Is Decided When A Nigga Falter, Guess Whatever Doesn’t Kill You Will Make You Stronger, And Give You Strength To Not Fold For The Sake Of Talking. So Be Clear Who You Mention As Real, Never Assume Until You See How They Move In The Field, Whether They Move On Command Or They Move On A Feel, Whether They Willing To Face Death Or Willing To Kneel. Full Chorus All My Day 1 Niggas Put Ya Bottles Up No New Friends Look Around It’s Obvious We About Life We Don’t Really Talk As Much Cause It’s Loyalty Over Everything……………. Never Speak, Problems We Keep It In The Pham If One Eat, We All Eat Stick To The Plan Do Ya Time, Never Resort To The Stand Cause It’s Loyalty Over Everything…………….

Verse 1 Dear Lord, I pray for the snakes in the fold even though they been testing my patience. The one’s that’ll smile in your face and pretend like they never been hating. The one’s without honor, respect, and integrity I don’t relate with. Those types that’ll run to a blog and go tell em you shouldn’t have made it. I’m favored, that’s why they all wishing that we could switch places, the sales and the rating, the radio shows, the promotion, the papers. The money the favors, the cars, and the cribs, shit even the neighbors. It’s amazing behavior, they only see fruit and ignore all the labor. (Singing Voice) Though I pray for em, jealous ass niggas I pray for em, yeah I pray for em, hatin ass niggas I pray for em. I’m back packing that strap, foes waiting for the kid to slip and that’s fact, shake my hand yet aim at my back, take what they need and never give back, blllaaccckkk. Lord willing I run into one of these nigga i’m ready to set it, got money for lawyers that’s ready to beat any case on the ledger, I never been scared so it’s nothing but bread to go send em a message. I never been scared so it’s nothing to send em a message….Dear Lord. Hook 2x’s Dear Lord, Father please forgive me for they know not what they do…. All these lil hatin muthafuckas wanna see me on the news... Father please forgive me for they know not what they do…. All we gotta do is pray for em, amen, amen, Dear Lord

Verse 1 Dey Can't View What They Can't See, Can't Feel What They Can't Reach, That's Why I Move In Silence, Cause They Can't Believe What They Can't Think. The Way I Move Niggas Would Think That I Have Mobb Ties, But Honor Single Handedly Got Me Through Hard Times. Integrity Rendered Bright Weather From The Dark Skies, Ambition Was The Driver Behind All The Hard Grind. It Felt Like The Karma I Was Given Was Not Mine Though I Never Complained, I Just Hustled And Got By. When You A Youngin In Struggle Without Wisdom Or No People There To Love You Dey Don't Know About A Thing... When Made A Man Before You Ready And The Only Game You Got To Play Is Deadly Dey Don't Know About A Thing. These Niggas Talk About My Life, Talk About Everything I Did Wrong, But Never Talk About My Plight. For God’s Sake, With All The Judgement You Could Miss Me Cause Judgings For The Law And For The Sin Free…… Verse 2 Dey Can't View What They Can't See, Can't Feel What They Can't Reach, That's Why I Move In Silence, Cause They Can't Believe What They Can't Think. Money Chasing Had Me Acting Out These Dual Lives, Had Family & The Streets Both Feeding Me Those True Lies. Never Mindful Thanking God That I Could Use Mine, No Protection Almost Lost My Life A Few Times. Felt Like I Was Being Directed By A Mute Guide, Driven To Never Be Satisfied When You Do Crime. When You Driven By A Living With No Choice The Only Option Is To Get It Dey Don’t Know About A Thing…When You Facing Jail Or Dying And Your Rent Depends On How You Go Supply It, Dey Don’t Know About A Thing… These Niggas Only See Success, See All The Wins And Never My Stress, See My Place But Never My Quest. For God’s Sake, With All The Judgement You Could Miss Me Cause Judgings For The Law And For The Sin Free……

Rules To The Games Hook I Been In This Game For Years It Made Me An Animal There’s Rules To This Shit Verse 1 Dark days, dark nights, I thought there was rules to this shit, take vows then move by what they meant, but when integrity suffers, they move by what you spent. I will love you and honor you all the days of my life, might as well been a movie, a set, stage, and the lights. Words never kept a purpose fed, as a body without spirit, faith without works is dead. As I ponder on this curse I claim, almost 5 years in it and you curbed my name, written down you a perfect Paige, nowadays I just contemplate on whether you was worth the page. It’s amazing how in the moment you get ya act on, real talk you should go and get you a SAG Card. November 10th the day I made you my bride, nowadays when I reflect more like the day that I died. Verse 2 Dark days, dark nights, I thought there was rules to this shit, take vows then you move by what they meant, but when sincerity suffers, they only move for the rent. I promise to be true in the good times and the bad, wisened up to the lies, realized what we had. I was trying to find what Joseph had in Mary, but ended up partnering with my greatest adversary. Phone ringing back to back like why you quit? While i’m here trying to justify why to live. In my daughter’s eyes the second place I find the strength, the first be the consistency that I find in him. No matter the secrets never believe the jury gone, cause karma’s everywhere, she ain’t gotta look for y’all. On my youngins I ain’t never been a rookie ma, you damn near left your whole hand in that cookie jar.

I Never Change, I Never Will, Realest Ever When You Around Me You Get That Feel. When I Parish This World Is Finna Remember Me, I’m Living Proof Of Loyalty Of Everything. When I'm Whippin That Work, And I'm Running That Town, When I Run Into The Law, I Ain't Running No Mouth. I Was Privileged To Those Finer Thoughts, Silence Is What I Was Taught, Same Shit If I'm Facing Life, So Never Mind To That Minor Charge. Been The Same Since K Thru, 12 Shit All Of Grade School. Ask The Niggas I Went With, They'd All Say He The Same Dude. Since Birth Been A Go Getta, If I Ain't Have The Bread Then I'd Go Get It. Move Larry Love, And White Girl Before I Decide To Be Broke Nigga. Give No Fucks, No Love, Maybe Handshakes But No Hugs, Guess Karma Can’t Be Escaped, Though She Shows Up When You Owe Us. Used To Cut Lawns, Wash Cars, As A Young Boy I Was Bout Mine, Spent Plenty Time In Them Books, It Didn’t Take Jail For Me To Find God. Didn’t Take Church For Me To Find Truth, Took Plenty Time For Me To Find Proof, Took One Life, Mrs Brown Who Showed Me That I was Triune. She Said Never Listen When They Say Next Time, So I Took Heed Don’t Believe Me Go Ask My Ex Wife. She Told Me When I’m Successful I’ll See Those Threats Climb, And When The Storms All Surround You Go Find Your Next Grind. Whether The Weather Change, Or We Facing Better Days, Til The Casket Dips, I Swear That I Will Never Change. Whether The Weather Change, Or We Facing Better Days, Til The Casket Dips, I Swear That I Will Never Change……………

These Days 04:02
Verse 1 Ain't Too Much Good To Say About Life These Days, Seems Like Everything Is A Fight These Days, It’s Tough To Attract Light These Days, Shit…...I Started Divorcing My Wife These Days. Dealing With Bitch Ass Niggas And Bitch Ass Bitches Focused On The Negatives And Rarely Get That Picture. God Speaks They Don’t Listen, Rarely Read Scripture But Yet Claim They A Christian, Listen, I’m On The Edge, Real Talk I Could Snap At Any Moment, Hoping Karma Don’t Pay Me Back In Atonement. This The Last Of The Warnings, Any Of You Niggas Get Out Of Pocket Swear To God I’m Sending You Back In A Coma. Accept It As An Omen. It’s Like I’m Back Pitching & Coping, Make No Mistakes Prisons An Option. True Story, I’ll Taylor Make You Custom Fit For A Coffin, So Come And See If I Live The Way I Talk It. That Action I’m All For It. I’ll Send You Niggas Back Altered, So Often It’s Just Words Till That Larken Begins Barkin’. See That Light Ascend Toward You And Notice There’s No Bargain. The Penalty Is Eternity Nigga There’s No Pardon. I’m Here….. An Imma Bout Dat Life, All You Big Mouth Niggas Go Reroute That Mic, A Couple Stacks Ain’t Shit For Me To Out That Light, Cause Goons Gotta Work Too And Imma Bout That Price. They Think I’m Soft Now Cause I’m A Family Man, TIl Niggas Start Squeezing Semi’s Out The Family Van, Get Money That’s The Family Plan, Whether It’s Suit & Ties Or On The Block Moving Hand To Hand. Yeah….I Guess I Was Groomed For My Culture, I Learned How To Move In A Room Full Of Vultures. Maneuver Through The Rules And The Odor, Said Fuck It, Shrugged Off The Hatred Use Some Composure. Had A Few Niggas Running Out The Lips, Saw Flame Out The Barrel Start Running Out The 5th, Disrespect Ain’t Nothing I’m Sucumming Out This Bitch, Here Worldstar And Niggas Start Running Out The Ritz. Listen Here, Let’s Get It Clear, These Days When It’s Problem All These Fukk Boys Disappear. On Twitter Talking Way Out Of Their Habits, All In My Mentions With Questions About The Math Shit. Guess It’s Anything For Some Fame These Days, These Niggas Is So Lame These Days, Pick A Target Just Let Me Aim These Days, Shit……..They Don’t Even Honor Their Names These Days. I Mean, It’s Clearly WWE, Cause No Trouble Ever Ensues When It’s What’s Up In The Streets. Small Minds Like Who Really Thinks This Way, Or Watches Mob Movies RIght Before They Ink The Page. Self Conscious So They Go And Check Your Wiki Page, Disregarding Your Hard Work As A Gift And Grace. Somebody Tell Daniel Gipson Stop Talking Nigga, On My Youngins When I See You It's A Problem Nigga, Fuck Peace If You Think It Disregard It Nigga, And Stop Tying Your Baby Mom's Up In The Closet Nigga. Do Yourself A Favor Keep My Name Out Ya Mouth, Or You’ll Be Making A Report About Who Came In Ya House….. Hook 8x’s Don’t Come Around These Days Don’t Make A Sound These Days We Holding Pounds These Days We’ll Lay You Down These Days…..Yeah

Hook Raised to Fail Hook lyrics: How can I win I know that this ain't it My haters all around me They pile up at the neck The system against me It's made to box me in But I know I'm so different Yea they broke the mold with me Even tho I'm raised to fail I was born to be better They say life is what you make it They can't hold me down forever Verse 1 I Was Told When I Was Growing Up I’d Never Be Shit, I Was Told If I Tried I Would Take An L, So Often Told That My Life Would Never Mean Shit, The Definition Of Being Raised To Fail. Daddy Loved The Lakers, Daddy Loved The Bottle, Daddy Loved The Ladies, With No Regard For My Mama. Daddy Worked Hard Did Any Shift He Was Given But When It Came To The Extras That Nigga Was Always Missing. Young Men Need Examples, Guidance, And Tough Love, You Was 1 Out Of 3 But I Needed All Thee Above. Had That Been The Case I Would’ve Shedded Many Mistakes Shown Patience With Some Decisions And Learned To Hit The Breaks. But Nah, I Was Taught That Aggression Was The Answer, And Pride Cures Pain While Manifesting To Cancer. Vices Don't Avoid Em, Even If They Destroy Ya, When You Die From It At Least You Can Say That You Enjoyed It.... Hook Raised to Fail Hook lyrics: How can I win I know that this ain't it My haters all around me They pile up at the neck The system against me It's made to box me in But I know I'm so different Yea they broke the mold with me Even tho I'm raised to fail I was born to be better They say life is what you make it They can't hold me down forever Verse 2 I Was Told When I Was Growing Up I’d Never Be Shit, I Was Told If I Tried I Would Take An L, So Often Told That My Life Would Never Mean Shit, The Definition Of Being Raised To Fail. Momma Loved Fashion, Momma Loved Nicotine, Momma Loved Her Image With No Regard For Her Seeds. Momma Worked Hard Was Education And Gifted But When It Came To Her Son, That Nigga Was Always Missing. Young Men Need Compassion, Protection, And Wise Words, You Was None Out Of Three And I Needed More Than A Curve. Had That Been My Plight Would’ve Chosen A Better Wife Shown Wisdom In Some Approaches And Learned To Chase My Light. But Nah I Was Taught That Perception Is Your Wealth And Nothing In This World Is More Important Than Self. Problems You Deflect Em, Life’s Issues You Neglect Em To The Point The Next Time That You’ll See Mom Will Be In Heaven...

Born To Succeed Verse 1 All praises due, thank the Lord for my deen, no matter what they did to me I was born to succeed. Kinda scary the journey, the findings vary, the learnings, the blessings that I was given was rarely monetary. God’s wisdom, God’s teachings, God reached him, odd nixing through fighting and hard living. Facts only I was supposed to be dead, had hollow tips just a hair length close to my head. So I pray kneeling over my bed, hoping these flashbacks seize and it’s replacement is some closure instead. That ambition is something that I was scorned with, they say it can’t be attained it’s something you born with. One of the major reasons that I made it, had nothing to do with luck or a member of someone’s favored. It’s just the way I was designed, guess you can say it’s divine. Verse 2 All praises due, thank the Lord for my deen, no matter what they did to me I was born to succeed. They told me someone would murk me (be)for I was twenty four, on my 25th told em kiss my ass I got plenty more. Some said i’d be nothing more than who raised me, some said I would never exceed who made me. My response is every man has his own path, and ain’t no limit on where ambition can take me. Over the years they’d tried tactics of suppression, though my soul felt tested I opted to never listen. Makes you question who sent them and their intentions, this is everyday as i’m thumbing through all my mentions. 4 years 2 additions to my calling tho, amazing how I found solace in my daughter’s souls. The sweetest fruit that adorns all my needs, though I know I was Raised To Fail, I was Born To Succeed.
