Never Been Sweet

The transition to sweet life
But it ain't never been sweet
Some of my people in hell as we speak
Filled with so much defeat
can't stretch it from the 1st to 15th
And the Landlord put they shit on the street
That's why it's all on me

I just carry the weight
And take us all no matter how long it take
If you dig deep enough you find great
I give them hope at they seek
But heavy is the crown still it's far from my feet
And I relate

To have nots who want a lot of steak
To beef up the grass and range in which they graze
Who came to take it all withdrawals with dues paid
Hella ski masks for the raid

Not fazed by the hate, I just give my all
And take it day by day
Gratitude I just answer with praise
And watch how it plays off wit they heads
Watch for snakes on the way

Transitions to sweet life
But it ain't never been sweet
Some of my people in jail as we speak
Feeling far from complete
That's why it all on me

And for they family they was just tryna eat
The type of shit that make shit make hearts break
Won't see they youngest make it to first grade
Won't see they oldest graduate

To different levels of life
Stole our history and tried to rewrite
This shit foul how crackers name our price
But I ain't fazed by the hate

I just give my all
And take it day by day
Gratitude I just answer with praise
And watch how it plays off wit they heads
Watch for snakes on the way
