Principles

Truth of the matter is I was born into these circumstances
No I didn't chase them
From a young age the rules to this thing were engrained in my brain
Just had to take them
Wouldn't catch me acting crazy in these streets
I knew there was always something bigger and better for me
It's my life not a story, not a song, not a movie kept it coolie
Can't wake up from this bad dream
Back to the genesis of where I'm trying to take this
There's rules there are principles to it all
Like Gs move in silence so I keep it silent
Keep it on the hush stays a must, I ain't a G though
Raised by wolves, stay with my pack
Mind my business curiosity kills a rat, I mean a cat ain't much of a difference
Play by the rules
This game is vicious

Only the almighty goes before family
I'm picky about my company right off the bat
But don't get it twisted blood may be thicker
But some of y'all are watered down
Want no part of that
Respect just isn't given it also ain't hidden
But trust it's definitely something earned
And personally forgiveness ain't ever been forbidden
But once you're in my hot seat that bridge is burnt
Trust has been my issue it's only been issued about maybe 2 or 3 times
But as of now I'm down to one cause I've been let down a ton
By those two fools myself and I
Yeah that leaves just me and that's just how I run things
That's just how it is and how it's always been
Until you show me different and show me that you're with it
But know I stay sleeping one eye open
