Chorus Like raindrops waiting to fall, I’m feeling weighed down Gravity, Gravity Won’t let you get the best of me Best of me, No (x3) V1 Thru the fire, thru the flames Thru the snow storms stay so calm thru the rain and Like a man, stand up to the pain and Thru sickness or thru health I never melt I say Aye put the heat back on your belt No weapon there shall prosper over gospel, Pentecostal flow or Maybe Da Vinci Code, or simply put The truths I spit can be found somewhere in a book if you just open your minds to look Or open your ears to hear but maybe fear can steer you Clear away from knowledge, hold you hostage to ignorant and Caged, inside of it like a slave inside a maze But like the rain can wash away make it free to runaway Chorus (x3) Bridge Waiting on them to fall Waiting on them to fall Oh, Oh Oh, Oh V2 I remember sitting right there on my bed scared thinking bout What’s finna happen after he said what he said, he say “Hey, I know that you gone be ok, But your lil bro yo, you know you got to watch him along the way” I said, “Ok” as he walked, I followed And it hurt then like its still gone hurt tomorrow But I transform all that sorrow, and pain life let me borrow And turn it into the fuel that’s gone power my tomorrows Learning yesterday’s what made me strong today, But the more I build my strength the more my problems can weigh but man It’ll only makes sense I guess, if you strong why go thru less Bullshit than what you can take? Nobody said that life was easy It makes you stronger so he put that on you, Like your dreams, like everything that you need to have In your life, to make it life or Why you living, because nothings right Become a burden over sunny days; turn them cloudy To symbolize the brain storms that go down in my brain And like a quicksand pit can, pull me down from my legs Sink me in till I’m over my head, And let me show you how I play it Yea let me show how I play it Say let me show you how I play it Yea let me show how I play it Chorus (x2)

(Ad-Libs) Chorus In the search to find yourself, don’t lose who you are In the search to find your place, don’t lose your faith In the search to find yourself, don’t lose who you are In the search to find your place, don’t lose your faith V1 Listen up I got something to say, my nigga told me that there aint a God I had to turn the other way I know my journey aint the best one But if this train ever stops that I’m on then shit I’ll just catch the next one And get off when it aint goin the right direction When shit goin wrong I’m a make the corrections Niggas be stressed bout the test of life get it right get it in Aint nothing perfect here where we living at Nigga I know you knew that, so why you do that? Throw away what you got cuz what you want aint for you yet Foolish to get confused and lose you Outta tune with your own life, live in the boondocks Away from your heart, moving on track then you fell apart Like a prosthetic limb you’re so detached from the real And I’m filled with the pain and the shame every time that I’m near But that’s just a reminder to find yourself In a search some meet a death In a dance witht the devil, walking with a shovel Diggin your own grave, man..don’t bury yourself Chorus (x1) V2 Tryna make a name in this shit, nigga what a job Non-profit organization well hell at least it feels that way Way we giving out and reaching out you’d swear it really is that way Cuz I live that way day in and day out Giving my everything hardly to get a pay out Day job to feed me, wanting so bad to be recognized One, cuz I know the game need me Two, cuz it aint too many niggas who can see me And three shit I’ll give you four or five different reasons but Seeing is believing, and I know that I’m golden But these other niggas aint retrieving or receiving And the cycle is repeating I’m receding To my vice tryna heighten what I’m breeding Thru my creativity, infinity Tryna expand on my abilities Chorus (x1) V3 Mama call say my brother feel like he alone Not to mention she don’t like the fact I’m rarely home Say she just wanted me to think about it As she was probably on her way to have a drink about it While I fire up by myself and I write about it He looking after his son tryna do right about him The baby mama was probably reason we fought about it But tonight before we all go to sleep I bet we all gone pray about it, cuz that’s my nigga Even when a nigga aint agreeing with him My mama that’s my baby over any other lady so When its ever shady and the sun don’t shine The moon don’t glow no more and you just don’t know why Look no further than your son Struggled overcame em, brother from the same one So treat this one the same and just holla my name and I’m there If anything happened to one of yall I’d bury myself Man If anything happened to one of yall I’d bury myself (yea) And that’s real

Aww girl you must be joking How the hell you think I keep focus when the pressure and the bullshit mix Baby girl you must be crazy, if you think I’m gone be crazy Enough to let the world determine my right from wrong when I feel much amazing I’m meditating, step outside yourself And see the whole world surrounding you just outside the cell That we dwell, and feel like it is the world When we’re just a thing really tossed in the world To become what we can yet raised by a mother’s hand To become a man Life’s contradictions, all in a part of the world we live in Is so relentless with broke commitments situations that become horrendous But don’t surrender, matter fact roll a bat, kick back relax and sang this Bridge 2 We’re smokers united lighting under one nation Not limited to landmarks cuz participation Stretches from my homeland crossing the water Be feeling how I feel even when it gets harder And it don’t even matter bout the big wigs in power Cuz we just be like fuck it for a couple of hours Aint worried bout them bills we just hold up a peace sign One love from me to you and music help us to be fine Now don’t it feel good Chorus If you love to get high then get high (If you love to get blowed) And if you love to get blowed then get blowed Light up an L fire it up, fire it up Go on and fire it up and smoke out with me If you love to get high then get high (If you love to get high) And if you love to get blowed then get blowed (If you love to get blowed) Light up an L fire it up, fire it up Go on and fire it up and smoke out with me

Uh huh, some jazz café type shit right here So I’ma get real intimate with yall Let you in on my most deepest and darkest Yea, let me talk to yall V1 I just wanna be successful damn, story of my life Giving everything to make it right But shit don’t come over night not if you want it to last long at all But I’m damnere bout to go thru withdrawals finding my topics be the same thing Cuz writing bout the shit the only way I maintain When it’s taking me longer than what I had planned Cuz yea I’m young but I know I aint getting younger and in fact I’m getting older by the day but The fact I’m getting smarter help me handle all the problems Approaching different angles and stay focused when I’m aiming Breathe easy so my hand steady, so I don’t fuck up the shot Cuz when I take it, I’m a tear off the block So what you searching for a vest for? Aint aiming at ya chest I’m pointing at ya cranium, open roof stadium Action is what I’m packing in my plans for the future A pound, grab the band, DC, Tuk, and my producers We gone take this show on the road, ready to roll And aint no turning back until we known thru every home That’s what ambition telling me but Reality sings me a different song, that bitch’ll blow my high But never kill my vibe, see niggas in the XXL used to wonder why, But now I question how you see, I don’t have all the answers so I don’t pretend to I’m just tryna figure my shit out and do what I do on these instrumentals Chorus It gets hard, but it’s the story of my life Giving the story of my life this far It gets hard, but it’s the story of my life Give ya the story of my life this far V2 I aint much a talker but I think a lot, about a bunch of shit And then I talk it out with myself in my head It help to keep me calm, when shit going on around me From music, to women, to problems with my family Aint even mentioned part about me being broke and jobless That might be bad for my image but fuck it who can harm it If I aint a gimmick I’m just as real as you When I get some money let you know bout how I spent it too Maybe I’ll get a coupe, yea cross ya fingers for me I heard a song that say you pray for me I’ll pray for you I think that’s fair enough so don’t forget me keep me in your memory And before I lay me down I say a prayer for you and many others Especially my brother, that nigga need it My mama doin what she can, wish I could meet it Or match it, or better yet just take it off her back Lord know she do enough I just wish I could give it back She made me call my dad a bitch once, I never took it back Living life with no regrets never regretted that I dropped outta college and said I was pursuing rap But like it kept me outta school it kept me outta the trap In either case I’m probably never goin back to either I’m tryna make this music shit work so I can believe it I’m smart enough to see the money without the degree And hard enough cuz cut throat business tough as the streets nigga Chorus It gets hard, but it’s the story of my life Giving the story of my life this far It gets hard, but it’s the story of my life Give ya the story of my life this far

Intro (x2) The days go on, on They seem so long Man I can’t wait till we on Till we on V1 I got ice in my veins, blood in my eyes Tears in my heart to symbolize attempted tries the bitter times The winter’s I was in blizzards and hell was given Night’s that I soldiered thru em existing in hell was living my life But like a rose I rose from out the gravel stood in the heat battle Using pain as the manna to charge what’s in my soul the magic I learned to channel Fire I learned to control use it to my advantage See em there at the vantage point to pick me off, won’t do shit but piss me off Take em by they neck and rip it off Take a loss? Na, nigga that’s out the question Losing for them laid back niggas who resting while I’m stretching No resting until my death bed, and I told death to fuck off I stepped onto my launch pad, count down until I take off No resting until my death bed, and I told death to fuck off I stepped onto my launch pad, count down until I take off (Yea) Chorus (x2) Ima be working harder than I ever been to realize dreams Harder than I ever have for me and my team Harder than I ever would to do this one thing I dream, man I cant wait to be on V2 A nigga running like being hunted, but do the hunting I’ll let you do the balling and stunting I’ll do the gunning And aim, right at the top of the game where I will post at And stick to that bitch like a fucking post it mental note that Won’t look back, won’t look down, might reach out, and look round But never once I step up will I lay down My playground is this business so, no need to play round All work makes G a phenom, the man, a demon Now take me to your leader I’m fucking up the game and I skeet semen out the speakers Don’t need features don’t need co-signs, just applicate some more grind Face up what you chasing nigga toe the line its go time At present I’m contender, but soon defender of the titles That my idols hold but soon to unhand them at my arrival I’m Jason, Michael Myers, Caesar of the Empire To winter I am the fire, demand it I’m the supplier I’m on Chorus (x2) Ima be working harder than I ever been to realize dreams Harder than I ever have for me and my team Harder than I ever would to do this one thing I dream, man I can’t to be on Outro Man I can’t wait till we on Man I can’t wait to be on Man I can’t wait till we on When we on Ima be ready for it Ima give it my everything Ima give it my everything Ima give it my everything , my everything Ima give it my everything, everything I want this more than anything, anything Ima give it my everything, everything
