[Verse: T.Bailey] And I wish a n***a would They congratulate me I just tell em God good Always had the confidence climbing up the ladder I just kept it pushin cause opinions didn't matter Hustle hard realize that sh**s an art Cut from the program if you don't play your part Victorious from the beginning and I knew from the start That we take it over cause this sh** an' took our hearts Every lessened learned an had a repercussion prior You gotta go through hell, just to get to what you desire These n***as want yo plugs, but what the f** are they supplying These women lookin right and sh**, I don't even mind em You left a bad impression like shaking with ya left hand You can look up in my eye and see that I'm a man Yeah, life good then it's bad then it's good But I'm I'm still surviving to speak on what's understood [Hook: T.Bailey] Life is what you make it this is what I know We get so close the breakin then we tend da let it go Steady hesitating then we let our feeling shows Ya back against the wall nobody will ever know Woah (4x) Life is what you make it this is what I know
[Verse: T.Bailey] I told my momma with this music sh** I'm gone make it It's teaching me to appreciate and I'm learning patience I put my pride aside to tell you how I really feel I don't wanna be thirty and tryna sign a deal I know that hurt some feelings That's how the cookie crumble and I know it's lord willing I'm worth a fortune even handling business and chillin In my sweats they give me uhhh comfortable feeling You trying hard for the camera You really need to look at the mirror for a few answers Tell the mirror you caught up in superficial glamour And tell it that you make easy for n***as to hammer Me on the other hand I'm setting standards Tryna show you can be tough while being well mannered Shoot for greatness *bow* aim it at ya heart And let it ricoshade to yo head so it can make you smart [Hook: T.Bailey] Life is what you make it this is what I know We get so close the breakin then we tend da let it go Steady hesitating then we let our feeling shows Ya back against the wall nobody will ever know
