Theres mainstream with the main dreams
But waterfalls start with a little stream
Even Kubrick started with a small scene
Before it became The Shining
If youre coming from the hood, work on getting knowledge
If youre from the front line then you wanna survive
I didnt choose the battles but the battles chewin me
From the bullet first hit my cousin Will C.
I been in the game now five point three
Lil shorty but got shorties after me
I stay humble cause the shit I seen
Cause I already know theres only one me
I really would like see the star shine
But the life getting covered up in hard times
Ooh, I need to let loose and the water ran dry, fill it up with juice
Oh, they need a believer
Theres no means and theres no mean
Every tree started with a little bean
Everything you go through at 17
Will it still count at 70?
If Im coming from the streets then Im getting money
But my deeds in the bank are worth plenty
I didnt choose the music but the music chose me
The art of hitting your speakers, making it bleed
Ive been thinking about what effects me
And the will to survive is always in me
Every glass of water grows what I be
And every glass of liquor gets me tipsy
I really would like see the star shine
But the life getting covered up in hard times
Ooh, I need to let loose and the water ran dry, fill it up with juice
Oh, they need a believer
Its about people, not money
Light up a parliament, turn a car key
I could be a genius, I could be a cheat
Its a thin line and Im fucking with it
I didnt choose a struggle but the struggle chose me
Im dancing on the rubble permanently
Im cut from the cloth that you made me
Driving down the alley, these cats know me
If its not cool then we bring heat
If theres no heat then its discrete
If its got your feet then its on me
Anything on me is Gods got beat
I really would like see the star shine
But the life getting covered up in hard times
Ooh, I need to let loose and the water ran dry, fill it up with juice
Oh, they need a believer
