Shoulda Paid Attention

C'mon, Ron

It's gon' be a slow grind to the top, young nigga
It's gon' be a slow grind to the top, young nigga
And they counted' me out, but I'ma get there
And they counted' me out, but I'ma get there
Ain't get no handouts, turn me to a go-getter
Ain't get no handouts, turn me to a go-getter
Nightmares of livin' without, only thing that I fear
Nightmares of livin' without, only thing that I fear

I sense the hate in the air, these niggas shady
Like black, actin' like you stickin' sincere
Ain't have my back when I was caved in
I thoughts like Damien

Was talkin' to a nigga, prayin' for my desolation
No offers or debatin', I ran it up, no hesitation
Made me a man because my mom was stuck bein' disabled
Never chased her dreams and it scarred me and got me livin' harshly
A welfare baby, reduced lunch, we ain't have no mortgage

You get the picture, scalp it, no money put away for college
But where I come from, makin' home the hardest challenge
Why sit on my ass and complain? When I can get up off it
This game I'm playin' for keeps, somebody shoulda warned em'

It's gon' be a slow grind to the top, young nigga
It's gon' be a slow grind to the top, young nigga
And they countin' me out, but I'ma get there

And they countin' me out, but I'ma get there
Ain't get no handouts, turn me to a go-getter
Ain't get no handouts, turn me to a go-getter
Nightmares of livin' without, the only thing that I fear
Nightmares of livin' without, the only thing that I fear

Somewhere down the road, they noticed yea, that Weez was Chosen
You obsolete, so absolutely, your 15 is over
From EBT, now proceed, my cup runneth over,
Wagon Letter G dripped out pateck, let it leak, like a menstrual bleed

Through the pencil & leak, on the sheet of the tablet
I'm a fiend for the backends, remember me? I was tacit, little me
Talkin' back when Brody put me on his lap and he was askin' me what happened

Now I'm rappin' sixth grade, I was a has-been
Swiss blades before the ratchets, can't fade me with the madness
I'm agin' aint got time for petty games to the top
They never paved the way for me, had to find that major key

Till I found that major key
It's gon' be a slow grind to the top, young nigga
It's gon' be a slow grind to the top, young nigga
And they countin' me out, but I'ma get there

And they countin' me out, but I'ma get there
Ain't get no handouts, turn me to a go-getter
Ain't get no handouts, turn me to a go-getter
Nightmares of livin' without, only thing that I fear

Nightmares of livin' without, only thing that I fear
