We'll never know what you do under pressure, if nothing challenged you
You've grown up counting the next niggas money, can't even count on you
Humble yourself 'cause you're never too big to be held accountable
Tell what you would do to help us speak volumes, try to be valuable
Don't lose your honor, that debt'll be insurmountable
Exercise your right to shut up, no reason to get shit out of you
You could be a famous pawn, don't confuse influence with powerful
Know what you're worth, they can only mistreat you if you allow 'em to
Livin' every day like my last day, or no one would have to go soon
If I get stabbed in the back again, here to just open old wounds
Life is a roll of dice, shooting mine on the floors of showrooms
Leaving it all out on the court for them, broken doors when I go through
If I love you, then let it be good intentions forever
Embrace the struggle, struggle helps you prepare for days better
Life is a puzzle, and it makes sense when you put shit together
Haters amongst you, resort to your misery, I can never
Would you believe me, if I told you I would never betray you?
Would you deceive me? Sometimes it be your loved ones that play you
If you should need me, then I'll spare no expense if I'm able
This life ain't easy, ain't careful with your moves, it gets fatal
The doors are open, for now I see the prize through the fences
My heart is frozen, the curse that's put on me's a life sentence
Two bonds are broken, I'm with you to the top from the trenches
Don't fall, they hopin', backstabbers'll write in your mentions
They say forgive and forget, I've never forgot
Transgressions, that's expecting a lot
A recipe for destruction some stir the pot
To feed foes info like a biblical plot
Gut feelings are realer than what's in your heart
Stay on point, they'll never get the drop
Some live off strength then get up top
And reveal Achilles heel when they take it on the hop
Everybody ain't who they claim to be
What's known doesn't have to be explained
Those feeling some kinda way with me
Will learn not to mention me in vain
A life lesson to retain
You're either with me or standing in the way of progression
The measure of all things
Not for nothing, I have everything to gain, uh
Would you believe me, if I told you I would never betray you?
Would you deceive me? Sometimes it be your loved ones that play you
If you should need me, then I'll spare no expense if I'm able
This life ain't easy, ain't careful with your moves, it gets fatal
The doors are open, for now I see the prize through the fences
My heart is frozen, the curse that's put on me's a life sentence
Two bonds are broken, I'm with you to the top from the trenches
Don't fall, they hopin', backstabbers'll write in your mentions
Don't know what's worse, you'll turn your back on me when minds collide
Or the simple fact that you can look me in my eyes and lie
Better together, ain't nearly as strong when ties divide
Opinions never matter from those that ain't qualified
Letdowns when a loved one turns on you feels like a homicide
People you idolize and shed skin, that's when the homage die
Niggas blinkin' imposter eyes, to lay all in apostracize
A fuck-up sat at the tables, a liability profit wise
And if we never get to relive the better times
Guess we can charge it to the natural course of change
See you can agree to disagree, but never get in your feelings
Revealin'll knock the aura off your name
It's easy to live in fantasies when your reality's worse
Can't go playin' a mental game with physicality's first
Always stayin' true to you's key, originality works
Always accept the bed you're made, when the casualties come it hurts
Would you believe me, if I told you I would never betray you?
Would you deceive me? Sometimes it be your loved ones that play you
If you should need me, then I'll spare no expense if I'm able
This life ain't easy, ain't careful with your moves, it gets fatal
The doors are open, for now I see the prize through the fences
My heart is frozen, the curse that's put on me's a life sentence
Two bonds are broken, I'm with you to the top from the trenches
Don't fall, they hopin', backstabbers'll write in your mentions
