Let's Keep It Straight
They say everything that happens
Happen for a reason
Well we say anything that happens
Happen to get even
Cause we knew everything the streets could've done
Still we laced up all our sneaks to put a name on that gun
We chose the game cause ain't no where we could run
We dealt with pain everyday in the slums
Where its gone rain with the sun
Could've told me years ago how I would be today
I would still take the route that I went either way
Let's keep it straight
Lately I been in my feelings
I been smoking up my thoughts
I don't know how i'm dealing with
The shit i'm dealing with
But everyday I see the bigger picture
& let me tell you that pain & hunger's a crazy mixture
Shit'll have you on the edge of ya seat
Prepared to do whatever it takes
To be just who you destined to be
Everyday I needed clarity
Cause if not, best believe there would be casualties
On every faculty
& I ain't never been this person before
Just a kid that ain't know nothing about raw
All I knew was that I ain't wanna be poor
No not nomore
I need my foot in that door
Even if I gotta take it to war
I'm really down for whatever
Seen it all through every weather
Shootouts was with barettas
Two out, we hit em better
Move out, move in together
Everything was synchronized
Like we in a band hit em all within a line
To let em know i'm on that time again
They like oh he wanna rhyme again
Meanwhile they bitch online reciting this
& that's the difference between me & them
You see, I really went on missions & ain't come till I completed them
See, It ain't hard to tell the G'z is up
We been at this for a minute
Ya niggas never believed in us
But ya wanna see us on the tv huh?
Well that will never be the case
Cause truth be told, niggas in need of us
So turn ya fucking speakers up
& listen to what's real
don't ever knock a nigga cause he can't be killed
Ya really just gotta read between the lines
This life is what you make it, so stop hating & just grind
They say everything that happens
Happen for a reason
Well we say anything that happens
Happen to get even
Cause we knew everything the streets could've done
Still we laced up all our sneaks to put a name on that gun
We chose the game cause ain't no where we could run
We dealt with pain everyday in the slums
Where its gone rain with the sun
Could've told me years ago how I would be today
I would still take the route that I went either way
Let's keep it straight
Happen for a reason
Well we say anything that happens

Cause we knew everything the streets could've done
Still we laced up all our sneaks to put a name on that gun
