〈Verse 1:〉Come and take a view of the abyss
I was jaywalking over eggshells just to make it here
You can live fast die young
Take your time as you navigate this life
Don't try to live it quick
Lost a couple friends tryna make it here
Most of em are dead and gone
The others had a fake appearance
Them so called friends never kept it real
Pushed em’ to the edge and made em' jump just to make it clear
Had to double back and run it up again
Y'all use to crashing out
I’m used to gassing till the tank is empty
Never had enough we digging money out the mud
I got loose change falling out my pockets not no paper ones
From double dutching, hopscotch skipping, and ballin' on the court
To 9-5s plus overtime to get up off the porch
Big steppin' like I'm big dawg outchea
And still be fallin short
This life was never meant to be easy, you gotta make it work
〈Break〉〈Verse 2:〉Black on black before I hit the road again
Everybody know me now, they still ain't know me then
I made a promise to myself to never follow trends
Look where I started I ain't ever going back again
That glacier sliding through yo city when the summer end
Rather be with me, myself, and I
Over a hunnit friends
If G O D ain't set it up for me I spin the block again
They tried to count me out I never needed them to count me in
〈Break〉〈Verse 3:〉No relapsin' into older habits
Bring the coal, I’m huntin’ wabbits
Why they let me cook
This recipe was meant for major rappers
Bring the casket
We can set the service in this open pasture
Too many diamonds in the rough applying heat but ain't applying pressure
I doubled up
Focused on the grind to get my money up
Now sharpen up
Open up your mind and get your hussle up
It’s hard enough
People out here struggling to start it up
It's crazy
People out here pushing tears instead of armored trucks
Pray to God he come release the pain from every one of us
I done had so many blessings come to light I couldn't count em up
So I block out every channel, tune em out so they ain't audible
Word to Hussle, never let a hard time humble us
〈Break〉
