Lessons

(앨범: The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy - 2020)

Had to learn a little bit, grow a little bit
Realize on the way up
That I was taught so many lessons
Yeah, yeah, I learned so many lessons, yes
I'm living proof that if you don't go through shit
When you come up fast
Everything that you work for won't seem to last
Man, I learned too many lessons
Yeah, I learned too many lessons, yes
Learned so many lessons

Every day that you wake up (Wake up)
Make sure you pray before starting your day 'cause (Day)
Tomorrow ain't promised (No)
Today is a gift, so don't waste it away
Call and tell someone you love 'em
Show somebody that you been thinking of 'em
It ain't about romance, it could really be your last chance
Turn off your cellphone (Oh, oh)
Give yourself sometime to think and be alone
How can you be about your business
Following niggas with no business
So many people in show business got nothing to show for (No, no)
Write out your dreams and just go for it (Go for it)
Fill up your pitcher before you can pull from it

Always listen to your first mind
Never tell no one, it's your time
As the spectators watching you grind
Really hoping that you don't get more shine than 'em
Those kinds of friends are really your enemies
All of these little philosophies
Took a minute to get into me, and that's 'cause

Had to learn a little bit, grow a little bit
Realize on the way up
That I was taught so many lessons
Yeah, yeah, I learned so many lessons, yes
I'm living proof that if you don't go through shit
When you come up fast
Everything that you work for won't seem to last
Man, I learned too many lessons
Yeah, I learned too many lessons, yes
Learned so many lessons

You know the ones who really down for you
Are the ones who feel you when you down
Look out for them niggas who playing on ya
Loyalty ain't nowhere to be found
Fuck with no one who's afraid of
Calling you out on your bullshit
That's the ones who showing real love
That's the niggas you can build with
Always keep your word (Oh, oh)
Only thing you really got it on this Earth
Don't let no one treat you less than what you're worth
Being selfish ain't the same as putting you first
That's the first law of nature (Oh)
Survival of the fittest (Oh)
Know that your haters love to hate you
Really no matter what it is

Always listen to your first mind
Never tell no one, it's your time
As the spectators watching you grind (You grind)
Really hoping that you don't get more shine than 'em (Them)
Those kinds of friends (Friends) are really your enemies (Enemies)
All of these little philosophies (Yeah)
Took a minute to get into me, and that's 'cause

Had to learn a little bit, grow a little bit
Realize on the way up
That I was taught so many lessons
Yeah, yeah, I learned so many lessons, yes
I'm living proof that if you don't go through shit
When you come up fast
Everything that you work for won't seem to last
Man, I learned too many lessons
Yeah, I learned too many lessons, yes
Learned so many lessons
