|
Look hereNow |
|
I'm a man of many talents and a man of my word |
|
But on my path to see the light sometimes my vision gets blurred |
|
It's all a part of growing up and seeing life at its worst |
|
And trying to iron out my wrinkles, putting family first |
|
It seems like the whole world is out for sinking my boat |
|
But with God as my navigator |
|
I'll be staying afloat |
|
And I admit to being caught by many foolish distractions |
|
Then I'm forced to pay the price as a result of my actions |
|
I'm battling with myself, and every day is a war |
|
Curiosity killed the cat, why am |
|
I curious |
|
George?Gotta keep my nose up out of things that ain't none of my biz |
|
And just 'cause something looks good, don't really mean that it is |
|
Get through the agony and anger, the pain and strife |
|
And take the necessary steps to try to change my life |
|
I've got some questions for you |
|
Lord, 'cause my mentality's hood |
|
So why's that everything that's bad for me feels so good? |
|
It's gonna get in you, child of the night |
|
And the hood rolls on |
|
How do I begin to do this shit right? |
|
And get my hustle on |
|
It's gonna get in you, child of the night |
|
And the hood rolls on |
|
How do I begin to do this shit right? |
|
And get my hustle on |
|
Now I'm an only child, so excuse some of my selfish ways |
|
I got spoiled when |
|
I was young, spoil myself today |
|
But I feed at least a thousand stomachs and how |
|
I've done it is |
|
From the ground up a hundred miles and running, dodging and ducking |
|
Everybody trying to hammer me down |
|
A self made millionaire, baby look at me now |
|
Can't tell me |
|
I'm not as hungry as the day |
|
I began'Cause all |
|
I ever really needed was a pen in my hand |
|
And the pad in my lap didn't matter in fact |
|
Me and my mom lived in one room, what's badder than that? |
|
Was a young man forced to grow up at the age of twelve |
|
Trying to get in where |
|
I fit, streets giving me hell |
|
But yet I give it right back, so how you like that? |
|
Continued doing wrong till |
|
I was on the right track |
|
Tell me about heavy money, |
|
I might give it a push |
|
But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush |
|
It's gonna get in you, child of the night |
|
And the hood rolls on |
|
How do I begin to do this shit right? |
|
And get my hustle on |
|
It's gonna get in you, child of the night |
|
And the hood rolls on |
|
How do I begin to do this shit right? |
|
And get my hustle on |
|
No matter how much older we get |
|
Man, we are all still children at heart |
|
We all make mistakes, it's all good |
|
Now, I've tried plenty of times to get rid of my bad habits |
|
Living life on the cutting edge, taking a stab at it |
|
And learning from my mistakes, try not to make them twice |
|
Just admit it when |
|
I'm wrong, and tryin' hard to make it right |
|
And baby, nobody's perfect in this world of ours |
|
There's plenty of people getting stitches in this world of scars |
|
But over time |
|
I pray to |
|
God that he can heal your wounds |
|
Try and love and love again until they seal your tomb |
|
Life is short if you don't notice it'll pass you by |
|
That's why my head is in the clouds trying to pass the sky |
|
I'm never blinking for a minute, keep my eyes on my foes |
|
They wanna catch me in the open, bring my life to a close |
|
Meanwhile that's why |
|
I'm bringing so much life to my shows |
|
I've seen smiles, |
|
I'm making changes, turning glitter to gold |
|
Don't let these devils play you down, or belittle your souls |
|
Just be happy with yourself and it's so simple to grow |
|
Come onIt's gonna get in you, child of the night |
|
And the hood rolls on |
|
How do I begin to do this shit right? |
|
And get my hustle on... |
