You should take a page from how your mother did it
On her own and try to forget him
Try to forget him
You should take a page from how your mother did it
On her own and try to forget him
Try to forget him
You can′t start taking everything you think you deserve
Don't get me wrong, you′re learning it all the hard way
I said before, whips & chains, my fam said "rep the Kente
Karate Kick the demons, careless what sensai
My hard work gives my body beatings in my corner
But I know I'll be next to granny later, to join her
Questing for the holy grail, at the street it crosses
Tryna get wins with an Excalibur to cut losses
But hey, no matter the season, some'll never love you
Not a robbery for niggas roll up and mug you
Or pull you card and still bluff you
But It doesn′t matter, my hands move, until their drive is down that carpal tunnel
Now, I coulda exit, but I could be wrong
This road leads with potential power, and I could be strong
So I try to keep my stressors, as microscopic as ever
As I sip away my patience with Vodka and Dr. Pepper
Blood of a slave, heart of a king, embodiment of legends
Gunning to victory, with the speed of bullets, escaping Smith & Wessons
Won′t get by if your eyes ain't dry
Take a try. Take a try. You won′t even think about it, but you...
Won't get by if your eyes ain′t dry
Take a try. Take a try. You won't even think about it, but you...
I just wanted to be dope, if I had to sell it then so be it
Until an OG told me, "Do what makes you special!", I aint really see it
Pray for rain for the dirt we did today
Get serious or a high top fade cause we don′t Kid N Play
Buried my pops recently, that was hard as fuck
And if he had his way, he'd want me to pick myself up
We was back to back, I wish I could bring you back to life
Cool in my afterlife if I'm reading these chapters right
Work so hard your signature becomes an autograph
You Will Farrell, I′m a pharoah, all my art is facts
Be yourself, everybody in the hood aint got heat
You a civilian, a median strip, you not street
Flawless victory we keeping that same energy
The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy
Won′t get by if your eyes ain't dry
Take a try. Take a try. You won′t even think about it, but you...
Won't get by if your eyes ain′t dry
Take a try. Take a try. You won't even think about it, but you...
Won′t get by if your eyes ain't dry
Take a try. Take a try. You won't even think about it, but you...
Won′t get by if your eyes ain′t dry
Take a try. Take a try. You won't even think about it, but you...
