[English]

You could try hard but you can't ignore me

Shout out to the ones who did it way before me

They love and they hate then they love you more

Yeah

Uh different day same old story

Got money on my mind nothing more important

Mindset of a kid raised in apartments

Fuck forty in a muh I need a bigger portion

Parked in front of the crib looking for some drive

Dealing with the bullshit on the other side

Other grass in the past I will run and hide

But I can't kill any time it's career homicide

Uh

Gotta show them all who the best

In the mother fucking building like an architect

Doing the most I could never give them less no

Take a look around I'll be here when no one left bitch I promise

You could try hard but you can't ignore me

Shout out to the ones who did it way before me

They love and they hate then they love you more

That's the way it goes that's the way it goes

You could try hard but you can't ignore me

Shout out to the ones who did it way before me

They love and they hate then they love you more

That's the way it goes that's the way it goes

Yeah that's the way it goes

Yeah that's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Goes

On the side where I come from

Live by the gun die by twenty one

Thank God I'm alive and I made some

Out of nothing niggas thought I was frontin'

Now they see me getting to it doing what they said I wasn't

Gotta have a little patience baby why the hell you rushing

Gotta play my cards even when they think I'm bluffing

Headed to the top can't see nobody above me

Now can you feel the pressure can you hear the message

I'm trying to stay clean but this shit been getting messy

If you looking for me I won't be right where you left me at

Put that on my city that I'm about to bring it back bitch I promise

You could try hard but you can't ignore me

Shout out to the ones who did it way before me

They love and they hate then they love you more

That's the way it goes that's the way it goes

You could try hard but you can't ignore me

Shout out to the ones who did it way before me

They love and they hate then they love you more

That's the way it goes that's the way it goes

Yeah that's the way it goes

Yeah that's the way it goes

That's the way it goes

Yeah that's the way it goes
