Look, I'm still a of the game but I been through some things And I could school you rather say don't be clueless in the You learn to fly before you cruising with the planes And you be a boss, just gotta do it in your lane Choosing and choose to pray instead of to pray To use and for pay You doing it for the love or you it to get praised? What you do for fame if it was family or money? They probably you today Probably buy a car and try and coup the pain Sometimes and hoes is truly the same Try and you for change Yeah it's a shame But I seem to see the beauty in the rain I it this far
