Lately I've been keepin' my nose to the grindstone
Servin' these hos, I've been gettin' my grind on
Slangin' that off white limestone
Coz my money is what my mind's on
And I gotta do what I gotta do to keep up my bankroll
Even if it means feedin' fiends and smackin' stankhoes
See I've never claimed to be a saint yo
So ya know as I flow, sling and sing, my dank grows
And I thank those that've shown me love
I'm a keep hustlin' and I'm a keep showin' up
I be out daily, even when it's cold as fuk
And nobody or nothin' gonna hold this up
Coz I gotta feed my family
And a lotta folks just be misunderstandin' me
They say things like "How hard can it be?"
Well... it's he11 and it's hella insanity
It's all because... I never had it made
It's all because... I refuse to be a slave
It's all because... I spit in the face of the devil
It's all because... Baby, I'm a modern day rebel
Yo, check it, fuk the government, I gotta get my cheese
And sh1t, I aint talkin' about no mothafukin' commodities
So if you aint 'bout it, then back the fuk up off a me
Coz keepin' it 100 is my philosophy
And I aint gonna cop a plea, fuk cops, I stay off the radar
They don't see me coastin', ghostin', but I know where they are
I stay sharp, build a repertoire for my product like H.R.
If ya keep 'em comin' back see you'll make it far
In a game as dangerous as any I've ever known
I'm a empty these knots in my socks and then I'm a head it home
Get it done quick coz nothin's set in stone
So I hit the block, drop the lot and then I'm gone
Like a ghost I haunt the spot and disappear
You can call me a bad man but listen here
I never planned to make this a career
In the beginnin' I only planned to do this a year...
(But sh1t... you know how it goes.)
It's all because... I never had it made
It's all because... I refuse to be a slave
It's all because... I spit in the face of the devil
It's all because... Baby, I'm a modern day rebel
