[00:00.683][Intro]
[00:10.854]Ain’t gotta say too much on this
[00:16.878]
[00:17.388][Verse 1]
[00:24.702]Momma working all day, I’mma pray to God
[00:27.321]If I don’t make it in the world, please protect my mom
[00:30.444]The pressure on a teenage man, I can understand
[00:34.068]I just turned twenty myself, the world be a cold place
[00:37.473]Yeah, life is real, but ain’t nobody see a life you feel
[00:42.197]When I write I feel some kind of way that relates to real
[00:46.088]So I understand how you feel
[00:48.482]I’m a loner too, I’m online just to watch the news
[00:51.895]And when I upload, I appreciate the views
[00:55.026]Cause you don't gotta watch me, you don’t gotta like me
[00:58.159]So if you ride with me, shit, I’m riding for life.”
[01:01.319]I never had nobody that cared
[01:04.165]Except a few close people everybody was scared
[01:07.301]Because I didn't know myself that particular time
[01:10.162]That's why I’m always writing rhymes and speaking my mind
[01:12.788]
[01:13.313][Bridge]
[01:14.355]I work every day, it's a common goal
[01:17.274]To keep my head right and buy my moms a home
[01:20.442]The hustle don’t stop, the hustle don’t stop
[01:26.457]I work every day, it's a common goal
[01:29.591]To keep my head right and buy my moms a home!
[01:33.818]The hustle don’t stop, the hustle don’t stop
[01:37.157]
[01:37.673][Verse 2]
[01:38.457]I failed so many times, I ain't learn the lesson
[01:41.328]Hope I’m not an example, hope you really see my message
[01:44.476]I do this for my fam and everybody that respect it
[01:47.586]But time fly fast and I’m feeling resentment
[01:50.780]I don’t think I'm at my best I’m moving fifty percent
[01:53.356]Five percent, ten, the other thirty five in the pen
[01:57.259]My right hand made it if I’m thinking I win
[01:59.602]But where I grew up, either you sink or you swim
[02:03.017]So it’s crabs in the bucket, know you heard that phrase
[02:05.943]But everybody got a chance to shower, then praise
[02:09.059]So I’m tryin' to change the old way of thinkin, peep it
[02:12.211]Wrote a book 19, I hope that Jesus reads it
[02:15.115]A lot of people thought I’m dumb like an underachievement
[02:18.248]Cause my grades wasn’t good, and I was smoking that reefer
[02:21.406]But my mom said son, if you keep believing
[02:24.529]You can be anything, just keep on breathing!
[02:27.657]And I try to stay clean, but drugs is pain
[02:30.538]This is something in my brain since a early age
[02:33.724]And I'll never fall off, but this is word to god
[02:36.598]Ain't nothin' promised in this life, Imma beat the odds
[02:39.993]My momma struggle everyday just to keep her job
[02:42.583]And don't nobody understand what I go through daily
[02:45.752]So if I'm lookin' kinda down, just salute the god
[02:48.608]And root for me, cuz to really tell the truth, it's hard
[02:51.977]I'm writin' rhymes every day, it's a gift from god
[02:54.853]And if you listen to this rap, this is from my heart
[02:58.254]Lil B for Lil Boss, I'mma beat the odds
[03:01.384]And I'mma do the right thing, be the based-est god
[03:04.515]I'mma beat the odds, Lil B
