That's How It Go

That's how it go
I remember when I was alone
Remember when I was alone
But I still do this shit on my own
At times I don't answer the phone
At times I don't answer the phone
I needed some time on my own
I needed some time to myself
The green is my only concern
I had to rise up my wealth
Run up a check had to learn
I had to run it up, had to run it up
You only gon get what you earned
I know it's not enough, it's just not enough

I just look up at the stars
Chasing balance see my hands are calloused
I've been working so hard
Craft my talents all I see is malice
And it comes from they hearts
I just rather be the beam in the dark
Never let these niggas feed on my heart
Fuck this rappin I've been me from the start
These niggas acting they just playing a part
And I ain't the one to play no jokes
I'm just a kid from a city where they cast all the envy from behind but the stones don't float
Heat to the side, cold world no coat
Piece to my mind let it blow can't cope, life
Shine wit it
Cherish your time wit
Stay on the grind wit it
Pray they don't slide wit it
So many gone like days
Gotta go and brace my own mind
Just gotta cope through days
Back on
Puttin on for my people cause I'm black-owned
If it ain't Beneficial then I'll pass on
Got a little clout now these niggas tryna latch on
Niggas can't stop me I'm on go
Success steady knocking on my door
I can see the stress when I'm low
Apollo with the sound, maestro
Bounce
I just gotta get it unannounced
They rather see a nigga down and out
So I gotta run it up till it's nothing left to count

That's how it go
I remember when I was alone
Remember when I was alone
But I still do this shit on my own
At times I don't answer the phone
At times I don't answer the phone
I needed some time on my own
I needed some time to myself
The green is my only concern
I had to rise up my wealth
Run up a check had to learn
I had to run it up, had to run it up
You only gon get what you earned
I know it's not enough, it's just not enough

I'm feeling miles and miles away
I run my route like I'm Galloway
They run they mouth like they Sallie Mae
Life can't be free if we gotta pay
I want them Benjamin Franks
Chop off the head of the venomous snakes
I don't need negative space
I keep it moving at generous pace
I function better with space
I see the pussy right dead in your face
I'm just ahead in my race
I see niggas jus afraid to embrace
Who they are, they just rather erase
You a fraud, nigga I can't relate
Every time I Just create I'm not afraid to give y'all niggas a taste
Heart on my sleeve
Reasons I bottle
Try to bob and weave
Grief and the sorrow
Burn another tree
Breathe till tomorrow
Motivate myself
Feet on the throttle
Move another mountain
Kilimanjaro
Drinking from the fountain
King like a pharaoh
I'm embracing who I am, but I ain't never going settle
They just flexing for the gram
Puppet niggas like Geppetto
I'm just going what I can, keep the peddle to the metal
I'm just tryna be a better man
I stay up at night like I'm Letterman
Hear the devil knocking I won't let him in
Yall can tell a friend

That's how it go
I remember when I was alone
Remember when I was alone
But I still do this shit on my own
At times I don't answer the phone
At times I don't answer the phone
I needed some time on my own
I needed some time to my self
The green is my only concern
I had to rise up my wealth
Run up a check had to learn
I had to run it up, had to run it up
You only gon get what you earned
I know it's not enough, it's just not enough
