Paroles How can i lose G Herbo

How can i lose

Uh (See that right there? Who got the painkillers?)
Painkiller (Yeah)
Uh

I grew up where them people call the peoples on us
On the block, pants saggin', wife beaters on us
Like we work for ComEd, keepin' heaters on us (You know that)
All sellin' somethin', so we gotta hit the corner (What up?)
Standin' in the rain like we tryin' get pneumonia (Posted)
Doin' pass outs, niggas tryin' geek they phone up (Yeah)
Pullin' masks out like we tryin' beat corona (No bap)
They say the first finish last, slip and be a goner (Gone)
Back when Glocks was in the stash for whoever want it (Right there)
Only got like three total, so these bitches loners
Whoever told 'em be on point for broski walkin' home

Turned to a dog when you gotta blow the hawk alone (Uh)
When shit went from brawls straight to murders, white chalk, it's on
Still a kid, but you can tell by how I talk, I'm grown
I ain't know nothin' 'bout the crosses when I bought some Chrome

The streets talk, show no emotion, so they call us "strong"
My name Wright, but they gon' judge a niggas off his wrongs
His pockets tight, you got it all, so give your dog a bone
If he don't never fall in line, he probably fall alone
(Damn)

The way, keep it drone (F-5), be safe, gotta fight
Them cases ride long, upstate, never ever make statements (Never)
Trust your gut and instincts when you're hard racin', stick to the basics
In investigations, feds, NDAs, races
Federal probation got restrictions, man, I hate this shit (I hate it)
On so many pills, now it's risky why I take this shit
But my trauma triggered my addiction, I can't fake this shit

Lost my innocence when I was young, same age my son (My son)
I ain't never been inside a club and I ain't take my gun (Nah)
I was grievin', on a hunt for blood, sometimes that shit was fun
Let off shots, we got a cop parked up the block for when they run from us (Grrah)

Gang-bangin', turned complete strangers to my blood brothers (Blood)
Breathing, so I'm grateful all the crazy shit I've done from it (All the crazy shit I've done from it)
Went on missions broke, if I got caught, could make a bond or nothin'
Fifteen in the game, another assault, I'm like LeBron or somethin' (Huh)

Faro, that's my dawg, we sellin' dog, we got our bond from hustlin'
Back against the wall, just make a call, he ain't gon' stall, he comin' (I love it)
Sold trees, bails had logs just like Paul Bunyan
Now we all ballin', if I call him, I could brawl a hundred

I be callin' shots, twenty shooters, have 'em all gunnin' (Go)
Know my money's stupid, call me, I'm in the mall stuntin' (Yeah)
Pull up in some shit with two seats, yellow like a Funyun (Nyoom)
Bitches on my meat, got fellas jealous, 'member when they fronted

How it used to be, was with whatever, tell me how you want it (How you want it)
Bottom level, lower than a cellar, I got far from it (I got far from it)
Didn't play by the rules, fuck niggas, we don't honor nothin' (Fuck niggas)
Like how can I lose? Fuck nigga, I ain't start with nothin' (Nothin')

That's no bap
Better get up and get on your motherfuckin' grind when you wake up
God gave you another chance for a reason, stay at this shit
'Cause he don't make mistakes

Good or bad or ugly, all up for a reason
You just gotta learn the lessons, let's talk
Stop takin' everything so personal
Just know that you built for, you destined for this shit
Don't take it for granted either, you know what I'm sayin'?
Because what's worse or what's fucked up for you
Could be somebody's dream, a paradise, they want what you got
And you ain't satisfied, that's cool and all, but be grateful
You know what I'm sayin'? 'Cause it could all be taken
It all'll be taken in a minute, it can in an instant
In a flash, in a heartbeat, you know what I'm sayin'?

So, me? I'ma keep puttin' on, man
Puttin' on for my family, for my kids
For everybody that came up with me in the struggle
That's really with me, that I know in my corner
Through thick and thin, you know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause I don't really give a fuck about none of this shit, for real, it's all replaceable
I could lose this shit ten times, a hundred times, get it back, you know, I done proved it

Proof is in the pudding
For real, I'm the blueprint behind this shit, man
The motivation to show all the young niggas that grew up like me
That you can do better, you can have better
You can live this shit, just live in your purpose
And enjoy it while you're here, enjoy the time you got while you're here
You know what I'm sayin'? Because life too short

Life too short to be sittin' around this motherfucker moping and whining and pouting
Wondering why I'm pointing fingers, you know what I'm sayin'?
It's your destiny, it's your life
So if shit ain't going right, you the reason
You gotta get up and fix this shit, nobody else know, man
Nobody got power or will over you but God

So believe in God, keep your faith in God, you know what I'm sayin'?
Stay prayed up, but stay ten toes at the same time, too
Wanna do what you need to do to succeed and willin' to do what's necessary to protect this shit and keep it
By any means, by all means, man, it's Big G Herbo
Lil' Herb, Big Swerv, I'm hardbody

Yeah, get at me, get up with me
Alright, [?] with daddy
Ya dig (Ya dig)
