Transitions

(albüm: All Or Nothing: Live It Up (AON L I U) - 2016)

Keep claiming I'm changing, but you're tripping
Kicking that stupid shit so long, I start feeling dumb when I listen
I had to get out of that position
I ain't got nothing but real shit on my mind, and you're just fishing
You're diluting your purpose the more you mix it
Guess we'll always be complaining, just work hard through the bitching
Lie right in your eye with a smirk, they support the vision
Collision and the system is designed to keep your mind in a prison
If you look a while, you'll find the wisdom
It's not in the media, infatuation with the television
Where's the love?
You done left all your principles in the club
Life hitting you several times, guess it's hard to feel the pinch through the drugs
Is there exception for a thug?
Caught in the trap, but in creation perfect, morning end up catching a slug
Most of them sinking trying to make it out the mud
Ducking trouble 24/7 and their only vacation is dusk

Fake love, gossip and hate, that's all they giving
Gotta make it out this muh'fucking maze, 'cause that ain't living
Ain't no names out, anybody's for picking
Don't get caught up in the same route, running ya mouth and out here slipping
The ghetto talking, you don't listen
Get your act together or there'll be somebody's nigga' missing
Here's to making the transition
Money over everything, you see the vision?

Somewhere praying on your downfall like it works
Get in the core, convert the energy before I write the verse
Thinking of ways to shade a nigga, spite rehearse
What is you waiting for? You find it hard to cross me, ice it first
I've been gone so long, look back I see dust
Went took the trust, banned from the circle here forever last time you'll be discussed
In this paper chase you won't pass mine, dying to rush
Turned on the lineage you're linked to, bet your family members lie in disgust
Should have been balling but your team jumping
Put in the category of niggas that check for you when you need something
Looking out for your broke ego, you're greed drunk and
Don't nobody want you around really, relieved from it
Let it slide it gets worse, call him out on this shit he sorry
Usually his clique first, won't be joining your pitty party
Patience can't be found now, pushed it up to the limit probably
Waiting in the wing still, shaky moving, forgiving hardly

Fake love, gossip and hate, that's all they giving
Gotta make it out this muh'fucking maze, 'cause that ain't living
Ain't no names out, anybody's for picking
Don't get caught up in the same route, running ya mouth and out here slipping
The ghetto talking, you don't listen
Get your act together or there'll be somebody's nigga' missing
Here's to making the transition
Money over everything, you see the vision?

Used to have voices in my head, that's cool
'Cause the boy still here well fed, that's true
Mean that since truth's all that I had, gotta carry that
When nothing you propose or alter it, gotta marry that
How we interpret that merge is all relative
I stand behind every word, like we all relatives
Less made men, over a decade in
I'm from the days when lil' niggas got they chest caved in (talk about it)
See I left home and sleeping in parks was like a melting pot
Ain't DM an ex, it was dark baby and hell is hot
Black MPV was parked, used to yell it ock
Drive by, circle the block, check if he fell or not
Full of smokers in my Polo pull-over
The day a nigga' scared to be dolo and pulled over
'Cause they gats go ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Since I remember it all, I'm wanting a flashback
Rest in peace Grandpa, I see him tilting his flask back
Our times kinda' the same, it's tough to grasp that
No code of honor and they conduct
Alarming because seeing grieving mommas somber even Dalai Lama wish music was my escape
I was still naive, it was beautiful when this maze crucial to how we behaved
Just like concussion is brutal the way we slave
They don't tutor you to what it'll do to you at this stage, listen!
Fact sharing, I'm seeing no matter the scenes
'Tween a rock and a heart places are bad pairing
I'm paranoid, plenty buy a couple feet and shit
Getting money is easy, the struggle's keeping it
To all the hustlers in the world, whatever your muse is
Hustling music, or hustling excuses, live!
Some think too small, they can't vision it
Don't even bother hitting my line, I'm transitioning

Fake love, gossip and hate, that's all they giving
Gotta make it out this muh'fucking maze, 'cause that ain't living
Ain't no names out, anybody's for picking
Don't get caught up in the same route, running ya mouth and out here slipping
The ghetto talking, you don't listen
Get your act together or there'll be somebody's nigga' missing
Here's to making the transition
Money over everything, you see the vision?

Knahmean?
Just some real nigga gossiping, Joey
Banks, WHAT UP?
Think too small, they can't vision it
Don't even bother hitting my line, I'm transitioning
