Legendary stuff, so, if you don't know who I'm talking about, Big Narstie
HB Freestyle, let's get into this

You like the fire, but you don't like the flame
You want the love, but you don't want the pain
Yin and yang though, they're one of the same
Yin and yang though, they're one of the same
'Cah when there's love there's pain and when there's pain there is love
More time it destroys by trust
Lack of trust, more hate, less love
Trust

New day, same mission
Build an empire for my children
Smart choices keep my arse out of prison
I talk but not everybody listens
Young g can't take what he's given
Young g can't handle how he's living
He saw survival like a mission
PTSD, blud, a serious condition
No money, just hope
And I ain't oppressed though
Tryna stay afloat
Bought a billion pounds of ammunition
Eye of the tiger, not eye of the kitten
Roll up my sleeves, time to dig in
Purple heart on the field, I refuse to be a victim
No retreat, I refuse to 'bort the mission
Like a soldier who went AWOL
All I saw was a wall
Man better know I'm not a fool and this ain't fucking April
What's the mission? Food on the table
What's the mission? Make sure my family's stable
I was scared of the hand that rocked my cradle
The worst thing with the truth is that it's painful
The worst thing with the truth is that it's shameful
But what don't break you will make you success story
That is when they rate you
They despise, get jealous and get hateful
But to a paigon, I'll be pavement and laying you
Down
Six by six in wood beneath ground
The fortifiers break the barrier of sound
Proper gritty, open arms, all you heard was a (baow)
Lion heart, man roar, no miaow
Survival was a mission then, it's fucked how living seems to be a mission now
Had to distance from niggas 'cause their intentions and their aura was foul
I don't wanna know why or how
If your number's not a hundred or a thou'
It's just adios and ciao

You like the fire, but you don't like the flame
You want the love, but you don't want the pain
Yin and yang though, they're one of the same
Yin and yang though, they're one of the same
'Cah when there's love there is pain and when there's pain there is love
More time it destroys by trust
Lack of trust, more hate, less love
Trust
(Trust, trust)
(Trust, trust)
(Trust, trust)
(Trust, trust)
(I understand you, fat sweat)
