This Way

Don't lie to yourself
You Proud of yourself
These lies that you tell
This prisons of hell

This is what you run from
Look at what you've come from
This way
Living this way
Living this way

See I was born in a low income addy
I got to get up out here
I hopped into a caddie
My homie had some crack
But we used to call it cavi
We headed to a trap over on Atlantic Ave
They tell me life a bitch
Trying to turn her to a baddie
Like bring it here to daddy
Let me rub up on that fatty
Trying to have it my way
But my homies laughing at me
They say you want your life to be fair
Be a cabby
I be thinking about my life
While I'm chilling in a chair
Broker than a joke
Trying to be a millionaire
Not to many would support
But I really didn't care
My will well get me there
I feel it in the air
I be running from my past
While I'm headed to my future
If my karma fuck me
I'm a call it Karma-sutra
Skeletons in the closet
Better chill or I'm a shoot ya
I'll Put that on your shoe or nothing to it
I 'll rebuke ya
Hallelujah

This is what you run from
Look at what you've come from
This way
Living this way
Living this way

All or nothing
That's the only way I've done it
I'm a run it
Till it breaks and Keri Strug it
I'm a glutton
Give me all the bread and butter
Had that hunger
Since momma kicked out the stomach
Growing up the youngest of my brothers
From the mitten right off 131 I
Made my way
Some would say I made a come up
Will I change
I don't think I'm ever gonna
First off
I never ran from another man
Had to crawl before I could walk
Now I get it in
Understand that I can't slow down
Cuz the next man is looking like
He wanting what I got now
So I just rock it out
I just go berserk
The clock is counting down
But it's of no concern
Everything I care about
Prepared me for the journey
Family's all I got
And their trust is reassuring
So I block it out
Or I break it down
Till I've failed a thousand times
And finally figured out
That if you stick around
And you put in work
When they count us out
It's like they never learn
Like they never heard
From the raps
We've been known to show up
No need to brag for congrats
So the ego blow up
Look up the stats and the facts
Of the ways I come up
With Dominick in the cut
Still got this passion to bust
When The slaughter remains
Don't just Budden give up
Until the casket collapses
I stay on the clutch

This is what you run from
Look at what you've come from
This way
Living this way
Living this way

This way This way
Bitch I'm from that way
This way
This way
This way
Living this way
