Devil Don't Play Fair

I know that I can't do it on my own
I'm thankful that I got y'all every day
No matter what happens I'm going strong
Seize the moment I can't let it slip away
I got God in my dreams
I got death in my nightmares
I use faith as a weapon
Cause the devil he don't play fair

Every day I wake up
Just to prosper
Turn the oodles noodles
To the lobster
Momma raised a hustler
I'll never be a robber
We going get our muscle up
It's no way they can stop us
Single parent home
Momma did just what she can
I knew by a certain age
That I would be the man
Out there rushing every hour
Man I feel like Jackie Chan
So I can grant her wish
Talking Peter Pan
Niggas hate on the success
But they don't understand
All the grind
They don't understand
All the time
That it takes
They think that it was given
They don't know you had mistakes
And that's why you'll be great
Rest in peace my bro Dee Dave
I've seen the greatness in my face
Keep you fuck niggas up out the way
He told me stay my pace
I'm with Rodgers he the senator
Now watch us legislate
Cause if we make it where we from
We call that the great escape

I know that I can't do it on my own
I'm thankful that I got y'all every day
No matter what happens I'm going strong
Seize the moment I can't let it slip away
I got God in my dreams
I got death in my nightmares
I use faith as a weapon
Cause the devil he don't play fair

I thought I told you I was different
I thought I told you I would get it
All while being myself
Not to mention
Created distance
Somewhere between them and I
A beacon of hope
To my people
What I symbolize
How you feel waking up
And ya pockets on flat
Check to check
In the cycle
Make you feel like you trapped
The city is a war zone
Strip the love out my corozon
Built off pain
It might be embedded in my chromosomes
Born to be a criminal
Cause all my good deeds
Get viewed at as minimal
I proceed
For proceeds
And a way to my pinnacle
Stay true til I die
Can't duplicate
What I create
Cyclops it's only one I
No lie
Lord knows that a nigga in a realer state
No debate
He put me in place like it's real estate
Who else you think would had given me passion
That's a question
That you shouldn't be asking
Real nigga for life

I know that I can't do it on my own
I'm thankful that I got y'all every day
No matter what happens I'm going strong
Seize the moment I can't let it slip away
I got God in my dreams
I got death in my nightmares
I use faith as a weapon
Cause the devil he don't play fair
