Justified
It was justified
I could easily justify
Everything that comes to mind
Could take the time, decide
Or I could wait it out and ride
It's alive
Open eyes
They done made a beast
Like it's all a big surprise
We all want our piece of the pie
We ain't never gonna eat
I'm just standin head high
Pupils to the sky
And I won't take a seat
Best believe
I claim the keep
I aim release
I'm just sayin, at least
It's plain to see
I'll be where the snow cold as the deep blue sea
Way down
And there's no way out
Stay ya place pal
Stay up in ya pay scale
Used to hold the weight
Throw the weight on the weight scale
Take a little raise hell
Now what can I say, well
Why you all up in my eyes
It was justified
Hard measures called in harder times
When you tryin to survive
You can't draw the lines
Maybe maybe
Maybe not
But I'll run with a yes
Lately all in thought
Might succumb to the stress
It ain't for me though
I take it like a free throw
Cuz I gotta be mo
Than who I am now
Stand up
Never stand down
Hands up
Never gettin handouts
If I gotta
Man up
Never man down
Not gettin stuck in ruts
Keep on gettin out
Why you all up in my eyes
It was justified
Hard measures called in harder times
When you tryin to survive
You can't draw the lines
I could easily justify
Everything that comes to mind
Could take the time, decide
Or I could wait it out and ride
It's alive
Open eyes
They done made a beast
Like it's all a big surprise
We all want our piece of the pie
We ain't never gonna eat
I'm just standin head high
Pupils to the sky
And I won't take a seat
Best believe
I claim the keep
I aim release
I'm just sayin, at least
It's plain to see
I'll be where the snow cold as the deep blue sea
Way down
And there's no way out
Stay ya place pal
Stay up in ya pay scale
Used to hold the weight
Throw the weight on the weight scale
Take a little raise hell
Now what can I say, well
Why you all up in my eyes
It was justified
Hard measures called in harder times
When you tryin to survive
You can't draw the lines
Maybe maybe
Maybe not
But I'll run with a yes
Lately all in thought
Might succumb to the stress
It ain't for me though
I take it like a free throw
Cuz I gotta be mo
Than who I am now
Stand up
Never stand down
Hands up
Never gettin handouts
If I gotta
Man up
Never man down
Not gettin stuck in ruts
Keep on gettin out
Why you all up in my eyes
It was justified
Hard measures called in harder times
When you tryin to survive
You can't draw the lines
