Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Longwinded, running through this life like it was mine

Never settling, but setting every goal high

One thousand burpees on the path to my own destruction or success

But what is a mistake without the lesson?

See, the best teacher in life is your own experience

None of us know who we are until we fail

They say every man is defined by his reaction to any given situation

Well who would you want to define you?

Someone else or yourself?

Whatever you do, homie, give your heart to it

And stay strong

...

Lot of niggas fail, but I won't

Lot of niggas fold, but I cope

Lot of niggas gone, but I'm home

Lot of niggas off, but I'm on

Lot of niggas lost on this road

Couple niggas gave up their goal

Gang of niggas traded their soul

But me, I'm standin' on tip toes

Lookin' out my Benz window

Wonder where'd my friends all go

Scared to give my heart to this girl

Paranoid she gon' leave if my ends get low

No one in this game to be played

But I'm knowin' that this game to be changed

I should be afraid of afraid

I'm just tryna live up to the meanin' of my name

I'm just tryna live up to them niggas in my gang

I'm just tryna live up to my moment on the stage

I'm just tryna live up to the truth in my pain

And the power that they gave me in the youth of today

I put a coupe in the safe

And I shoot from the waist

My time is money

And I ain't got a second for you flukes and you fakes

I do this shit for my woes

I do this shit for my niggas

I do this shit for my bros

I do this shit for my niggas, yeah

I do this shit for my woes

I do this shit for my niggas

I do this shit for my bros

I do this shit for my niggas, yeah

We've been takin' trips more than often this month

When I call they pullin' up, 2, 3 stream up

You ain't do enough for the clan, how I feel

If I gotta shut it down, how the film gon' feel?

120 in the Euro, one hand on the wheel

I was just broke, ran through a quarter mil'

Can't believe I'm still here, shed tears for the dead

Cubes in my 30 chain, she don't even wear

Call my little brother up, you know we took it there

Real nigga tellin' on me, only thing that I fear

Yeah, only thing that I fear

Real nigga tellin' on me, only thing that I fear

Lotta niggas squeal, lotta dope in the air

Lotta niggas squeal, lotta dope in the air

Styrofoam contaminated, got a nigga meditatin'

Yeah, I said it got a nigga meditatin'

I can't even eat 'less I'm medicated

I can't even sleep 'less I'm medicated

I've been on my feet chasin' check after check

Nigga, week after week, cause I'm dedicated

I can't even eat 'less I'm medicated

I can't even sleep 'less I'm medicated

I've been on my feet chasin' check after check

Nigga, week after week, cause I'm dedicated

I do this shit for my woes

I do this shit for my niggas

I do this shit for my bros

I do this shit for my niggas, yeah

Thugger!

I do this shit for my mothafuckin' niggas

I'm gettin' this money, yeah

I do this shit for them Benjis

Like you ain't real or hood, no Tommy gun

I do this shit for my niggas

Pull up with Barettas, nigga, and just go BRRRT

I do this shit for them bad bitches

Wearin' red bottoms and Jimmy Choo

I do this shit for my dogs, do

I do this shit for my mama

I do this shit for my son

I do this shit for my brother

I do this shit for the ward

I do this shit for the globe

I do this shit right here, nigga

And I do that shit, why y'all fuck with the boy

I'm wet like a boat

I'm lovin' my [?]

I smoke and I choke

I do it for my brothers

I do it for my folk

Got 40s on me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Nigga shoot from the toes

All the way up to the top

All the way up to the top

...
