Best Of Me

Yall betta lock in now
Don't get left
BigDonA$AN we done playin
Dreamers and company
Come on man
We from Naptown to Dallas to back home again
Tap in

I earned all my of stripes like a referee
Like a referee
Now I'm everything they said I'd never be
I got em looking I remember they ain't care to see
They ain't care to see
No
And now they singing all my Melody's
I earned all my of stripes like a referee
Like a referee
Now I'm everything they said I'd never be
Yeah yeah
I had to cut some niggas off because of jealousy
Because of jealousy no
Can't let the devil get the best of me

Wanted to ball
But they want see me on the yard
Fenced in
I'm on guard
Wit friends
Give 'em all
Distance
Wanted it all but at the same time
I'm tryna be a minimalist
Fuck am I kidding
This shit was like spears in my back
And that's not how you win in this shit
Spending and shit
Like I wasn't down on my ass
My cash was down wit a cast
Don't get me wrong
I still put plenty on
Still couldn't keep a bag
Game was flawed
I still fucked pretty broads
Still couldn't keep a brat
I'm the don
But member I was a pawn
And still couldn't make em mad
Now I'm getting where I wanna be
Can't afford a song wit me
Can't even hit my line
Ain't got no time to be on the phone wit me
Member we was close as hell
Now it ain't no jokes to tell
Don't check on me
This destiny you broke as hell and I

Earned all my of stripes like a referee
Like a referee
Now I'm everything they said I'd never be
I got em looking I remember they ain't care to see
They ain't care to see
No
And now they singing all my Melody's
I earned all my of stripes like a referee
Like a referee
Now I'm everything they said I'd never be
Yeah yeah
I had to cut some niggas off because of jealousy
Because of jealousy no
Can't let the devil get the best of me

Time after time I was broken in
Houses got broken in
Cause I was just a young boy
Tryin not be broke again
Hit a lick that ain't make no sense
Now I'm facing nine in the pen
Frustrated wit different cases
Wit statements from one my friends
State witness
Now he witness me
Shining like a Tiffany
Diamond
I ain't lying
I just do this shit lil differently
Leveled up can't get to me
And can't get in my business
I ain't trippin
Lil baby I'ma see you in a min
This is Destiny
No child
But I still grind for who is next to kin
Next to win
Stepping over boundaries like a Mexican
Homeboy bring that pressure in
And you know I fold
I'm solid as some gold
And we aint gonna stop until you know
That I earned all of these stripes
Out of mind I'm out of sight
Plenty nights
I had took chances getting minimal of life
Now I'm really living right
They can check what I be doin
If the police pulled me over
They can check me
I ain't moving
Been in
My bag
Fell off
My bad
Cut off
My past
In peace I'm not mad
At nobody
So I ain't block em
Y'all stay tuned
I been cool
Can't love nobody
Cause I'm not that dude

I earned all my of stripes like a referee
Like a referee
Now I'm everything they said I'd never be
I got em looking I remember they ain't care to see
They ain't care to see
No
And now they singing all my Melody's
I earned all my of stripes like a referee
Like a referee
Now I'm everything they said I'd never be
Yeah yeah
I had to cut some niggas off because of jealousy
Because of jealousy no
Can't let the devil get the best of me
