By Any Means
They say it cost
To be the boss
And live in luxury
But what's the cost
For a young black nigga
That comes from poverty
It breaks my heart
I gotta fight
For what is owed to me
Got no money
To fill my pockets
To feed my family
Sometimes I feel blue
Blue
Imma get it by any means yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
It ain't my goal to be rich
It's my goal to be wealthy
And humble financially free
In my mind I'm like Malcolm
My heart be like Gandhi
My spirit like Moses
I'll free all my peeps
Pushing the needle
Ain't never been easy
Sometimes it can feel
Like I'm dragging a tree
Heavy on me e e e
Damn man its making me weak
Tryna be different
In a time like this
Friends turn to snakes
Gotta watch for the hiss
Gotta be picky with the friends I keep
Friend of my enemy
My enemy
Get way from me uh
Don't want you rubbing on me uh
Anti social yeah that's me uh
You ain't gang
You ain't part of the team uh
Ain't never had help no
Had to go get it on my own
Sometimes I feel that I was blindfolded
Made mistake and I'm aware now
Had to step back
Just to see how
My future would plan out for me uh
Had to revisit old dreams now
I got money ain't all about me now
They say it cost to be the boss
And live in luxury
But what's the cost
For a young black nigga
That comes from poverty
It breaks my heart
I gotta fight
For what is owed to me
Got no money
To fill my pockets
To feed my family
Sometimes I feel blue
Blue
Imma get it by any means yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I got some goals
That I need to accomplish
Travel the world
And spread love through the music
People be hating
Betraying like Judas
God is my refuge
You lost cause you clueless
Been through a war
I can show you the bruises
Soul still in check
But the devil be ruthless
Can't change my mind
Cause I know what the truth is
Still I ain't free
Till I know what's my purpose
Follow to follow
That's red alert
Praying I don't end up on the perks
Praying I don't end up on a shirt
I pray through the day
Cause I know it works
Came along way from the trench's
I see through niggas no lenses
I know my options are endless
Can't break me
Cause I'm relentless
Been on the grind through the struggle
Take my time like Nipsey Hustle
I train my mind like it's a muscle
Being selfless
Comes from being humble
When they call
It's not because they love you
And they hate from a far
But still hug you
Man it's cold in these streets
I can tell you
Had to cover my neck like a turtle
They say it cost to be the boss
And live in luxury
But what's the cost
For a young black nigga
That comes from poverty
It breaks my heart
I gotta fight
For what is owed to me
Got no money
To fill my pockets
To feed my family
Sometimes I feel blue
Blue
Imma get it by any means yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
To be the boss
And live in luxury
But what's the cost
For a young black nigga
That comes from poverty
It breaks my heart
I gotta fight
For what is owed to me
