(Chorus) What ever happed to the days on the coldasack? Playing kick ball, stick ball, had the mullet back then Before I picked up a pen I was chilling on the block where we had a dead end [Gumz] Life; Yo what am I here for? Same question every single day with no answer 26 years same old sh** Is kinda frustrating when you have this gift Uh, I lift the pen everyday and put it to the paper The ink dries and evaporates it into vapor I make up stuff inside of my head And put it down and make it rhyme and then I forget I'm a vessel, created for the greater good Tried to spread knowledge and I'm fortunate I could Uh, you gotta live everyday like is your last second It makes me reminisce when I about eleven I gotta lesson that I wish I get back That's about the time I had a chat with my sick dad "Son you gonna grow up and be strong Live life to the fullest, soon I'll be gone" (Chorus) X2 [Gumz] Growing up everything was a competition Always had to win, second never my position From 'Little League' to beating 'Mario 3' Perfection is the only way I wanna succeed I try to pa** it all down to my brother You gotta work hard having talent is a mothaf**a
Is like it pulls you in two different directions Take the safe bet or risk it all and be a legend My personality can only stand so much Fork in the road, dealt a straight and a flush I keep getting older and every year I wanna fold up and just quit And say "f** this sh**" - Is it all really worth it? Sitting here spitting, trying to figure out my life purpose And while we living on the surface of Earth About to give it up and then reverse my birth (Chorus) X2 [Gumz] Things are all f**ed up from a distance Growing up sh** will change in an instant Shift the focus from your hopes and your dreams To money and obscene amounts, greed is the key Innocence's lost what is it cost? Your soul and integrity without the remorse Uh, holy cross sh**, get right out The game is in session you can sit right out It's all about ranking what is more important 'Cause at the end we all end up in the coffin 'Cause at the end we all end up in the coffin (Chorus) X2 (Scratching) "Take the safe bet or risk it all and be a legend" "Take the safe bet or risk it all and be a legend" "Risk it all and be a legend
