You gotta play it how it go, you can’t cheat on life

“I Get A Lot”
This can’t be it man this shit is stress full

Twist my fingers throw up my hood
Let’s get this money I know I would
2010: Trap or Die 2: By Any Means Necessary

Got enough for one, tell the nigga front two
Better bust your guns if a nigga front you
And every time you eat make sure you feed your whole crew
2011: TM 103: Hustlaz Ambition
“F.A.M.E”
Can’t slow down, too much evil in my rear view
Sometimes you wanna scream to God, but he can’t hear you
And even if you did, this’ll probably be his answer
Fuck you ‘plainin’ ’bout? It ain’t like you got cancer

But the hood, yeah, they label us heroes, entrepreneurs

“Twenty/20 Pyrex Vision”
Only thing that’s on my mind, an abundance of wealth
Givin’ up or givin’ in is some shit I never felt
‘Cause I’m a street nigga (Street nigga)
And I don’t sleep nigga, gotta eat, nigga
Street nigga, nothin’ cheap nigga, we don’t lease, nigga (Go)
2020: The Recession 2
“Therapy for my soul”
I ain’t never been the one to complain, that’s win or lose
Made moves and paid dues, walk in my shoes
It’s like a nigga came with directions, I really made me
I was drownin’ then I threw me a float, I really saved me
Put down everything that I love, that’s on my legacy
Never fucked over nobody to make a better me
