So, what's an almost retired hustler's purpose? To make seventy Gs working customer service? To bury all the dark and hope it doesn't resurface? For dinner hit Wing Stop or fill my stomach wit Church's Alone at the crib, I'm feeling utterly worthless Go out with some friends, I'm feeling suddenly nervous Anxieties for real, it's really something I'm cursed with Like greed in my brain, this worldly money I worship But I been healing myself, legal nine to five, I been building my wealth Couple promotions, can I brag on myself? Your homie stacking his health, I'm finally done with the smoking All of them cigarettes, my lungs were imploded And I'm back writing rhymes, fool my guns are reloaded Working on my health but I ain't going all vegan Still eat fried chicken but only on weekends, what's up Why lie you still fall through my consciousness I'm proud of you for going to Alcoholics Anonymous Love, friendship, fam, all that's synonymous Every time we talk, we both constant apologists If I meet a girl and I'm beginning to love her I still hope forever you stay friends with my mother No disrespect if you got a significant other To all the ladies that been girlfriends to a hustler You came to visit me in jail I had cash but if I didn't you would pitch in on my bail That's a memory from Hell, but it don't outweigh the good I was outweighing good Devil's footprints on my soul like the snow where they found Satan's hooves I was so proud when you got a place of your own Probably every album I'll still make you a song In my heart forever you got a place on throne Thank God that he made you so strong May the remedy bury your stressing My therapy sessions are very depressing Wonder why the sunshine never stare my direction Feel like to never have a happy marriage I'm destined But I was once in love, and I've grown to cherish that blessing My therapy sessions are very depressing Wonder why the sunshine never stare my direction Feel like to never have a happy marriage I'm destined But I was once in love, and I've grown to cherish that blessing, the remedy

The struggle always gonna try to take your crown Break you down, parents still living I'm still on a mission Trying to make them proud, rain and clouds Make you frown, way to sad to even fake a smile You turned down the deal cuz you got faith that you gonna win If your lawyer take the case to trial, praying loud You were slanging pounds in a gangsta town Where the hatred found and the snakes surround And u gotta have game, no lames allowed But it's never too late to try and save you now This the way fallen angels sound Everybody life can change around In a lake full of flames let Satan drown, thankful how The rain turned to rain bows Used to pray money fall out the sky Or the clouds darken up and down it would rain bows Down it would rain bows, down it would rain bows And even though a couple fake friends jacked son Man, I had a good reign Bo That slang from J Cole Trying to gain a halo, wings and a harp Trying to get my shit together where things fall apart When my light shine bright I can see in the dark Find freedom through art Wanna reach your dream first thing is to start Get the greed out your heart Like a tree in the park plant a seed that el spark The next generation like Afeni and Pac We goin ride to the end of our life We goin laugh we goin we going cry We goin live we goin die to the end We goin ride to the end of our life We goin laugh we goin we going cry We goin live we goin die to the end Suicidal thoughts never really had Even though I'm forever feeling sad Only got two years probation Not bad cuz I made a small treasure sealing bags Metaphorically, in this life I lead Had a lotta of bad weather still I'm glad For all of the memories made Like me and EyeJay together in the lab He telling me compared to these rappers in the city Dru you know you got the better pen and pad Treated rappers like we robbing banks Told em put the crown robe and the scepter in the bag Let em keep they money cuz I lost more than all the bread they ever had Devil in my past, Heaven in my grasp They can form against but them weapons never last Cops said my future cursed Proved em wrong, thank God and the universe If you on the block or if you in church If you work a legal job or you doing dirt We all living, dying, crying, trying hard This my life, I ain't rhyming bars On this planet called Earth Hard work and a little bit of luck only way to align your stars I'm in charge of my happiness, peace of mind I been stacking it That real love that only come from your heart Man, I throw it in a bag and I vacuum it Then I give it out to the homies, I give it out to my friends God only gives us one life we gotta live it up to the end We goin ride to the end of our life We goin laugh we goin we going cry We goin live we goin die to the end We goin ride to the end of our life We goin laugh we goin we going cry We goin live we goin die to the end
