I got a friend who little brother infatuated with guns
I tell him "watch yourself, for that you know what comes"
Two shots to the lungs ′cause some
Young nigga thought you had it coming
And I know you not the type for running
AK sound off like the band drumming
Quick to check a nigga if he said something
Under his breath, two shells is left
Everyday niggas dance with death
I got a tone that make you one-two step
You see, life's too short to be so reckless
Which one? Your life or that gold necklace
Could niggas soul check it?
And all my life I been so patient
They say "life is what you make", so it′s all for the taking
Seen a family get evicted, had me reminiscing
Yet I'm bitching about life, I should be happy I'm alive
But shit, we tired of flipping fries
Niggas trapping on the side
Don′t need no blue check, bye, to be verified
I′m so solidified, they don't question my qualifications
Young legend in the making, I′m tryna' be patient
But no time to be waiting, I′m just feeding my baby
Unemployed, no diploma, what nigga, this crazy
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way, aye
Gotta be another way
All around, she gon' hold me down
Long as I can make her make sounds like coyote howls
When I′m in the center, outer limits, nonexistent
Is you riding? is you with it?
Ain't too hard to figure out, ain't too hard to live for now
Is you artificial or your art official?
Only clean my messes with official tissue, I′m a picky nigga
Picking up on signals, crystal clear, I get the picture
Pissing off whoever watching,
Watch the minutes and the seconds keep on ticking
Got a cousin in Kuwait
He can′t wait to see his daughter, when he left she wasn't talking
Heard her sing the other day
Got a cousin in Kuwait
He can′t wait to see his daughter, when he left she wasn't talking
Heard her sing the other day
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Craters on my thumbs from the lighters I spun
I just stop by today to work on my lil cash flow
Spit oil spills in they lanes, I′m more revealing than sane
I'm fucking wheeling is the phrase that pays, my nigga
The free money kitty, I get it all day, [?]
They heard of my city, can′t tell me bout labor,[?]
The freakiest babies with labias
Only debating microwave pregnancies, we've no sense in time waiting
Attention span is whatever get my dick rocked
Not to mention my nigga just got slammed after fifth block
So we gon' have to handle all of that
When all of the tick stops and the bell rings
No hiding at the neighborhood pit stop, shit
I′m on my own,
So if I make it home, know I ain′t have to use my chrome
I ain't have one to own,
Let alone two to rub together, just to few to throw
So when Judus ran up on me, gave him two boost to the throat
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
Gotta be another way
