作曲 : Gary Lucas [Verse 1: Joyner Lucas] Tell me what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah) Got a lot on my mind Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind Been tryna control when I grow out of my prime I thought I was ready, it really wasn't my time, I know I live in my head I said I'd be rich and I did what I did But I don't do this shit for me, I do this shit for my kids I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave I'm tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free And nothin' really more important than protectin' the peace I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me When I was chasin' all the paper, with no second to breathe And I tell myself to never give up and accept no defeat My premonitions already written in definitely But I never listen, I know my vision and never could see And truthfully, I wasn't even supposed to make it this far (Ayy) I take it this far I know that God got me, I'm thankin' him for (Yeah) Soon as I get it, then I'll be payin' him for it You know you made it when all the haters support (Haters support) The haters support (Yeah) Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts When they tell me be humble, then I'ma take in too far

[Verse 2: Joyner Lucas] And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy Hopin' I be livin' long enough to sleep with the enemy Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me I should take a look inside of my soul and see what they did to me I got a fire inside me and it's sleepin' within me When I look inside the mirror, all I see is the little me Wishin' I could break out but I hope the evil no hinder me If I overcome it, then I be achievin' the victory, yeah
[Verse 3: Logic] What you really want? What it really get? 'Cause I remember livin' my life with a [milly?] face So many gears, I thought I had a million ideas So I had a fire peace and release nonsense I do it for the art, not the content All I really wanted was the acceptance Now as a man I can vent this **** that endless Do what you love in this life, don't let hate in your life Know they work for a job 'til you eighty And look back like, "Damn, I really done gave 'em my life" If I save just one life with this verse, then it's worth it If this is your future, you need to reverse it Ain't nobody perfect Man, **** all that cake, it ain't worth it Just take what you buried deep down in the dirt and I know that you heard it The voice from within, not above So just do what you love Ain't no way I could keep it up feelin' this feelin' It's creepin' up, tellin' me I will not be enough No, wasn't bein' me enough I think I see enough of what I don't want in my life Give a damn if it's right, it's the reason I write Need a reason to fight 'cause I need it in sight With these monsters in sight, it get darker than what I would like But I know, I know
[Verse 4: Twista] Ain't nobody you could never know my struggle As a child, goin' through shit way harder to blow than out a bubble And I know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability The water that was flowin' out a funnel Had to channel the aggression and depression For only a moment when I had to realize rappin' ain't it When there wasn't no more money from a record deal I couldn't get another one, so I was about to quit Had to get a job Didn't wanna be a slob, even though I would rather be spittin' bars Then one day, somebody saw me at work and said, "Twista, why are you in here washin' cars?" That hurt my heart That shit tore me apart So I prayed up to God That if I ever got another chance at music, I won't take it granted I'ma dunk if I get the lot Rented an AK from Do Or Die He said, "Come to the studio, I'll put you on a song" Start my new gig in the mornin', but I'ma come after This is my chance to get back on Thankful that I was livin' at my brother's house, but it weren't my own So I'ma finna go in I walked in the lab and the beat was by Crackster Title of the song was "Po Pimp" I said, "Ooh, snap" I told 'em I'm about to jack Spittin' funky like I'm a MAC I'ma come off so hard on this track It's gon' change my condition and change the way people rap Might be broke as shit and collectin' no dough from tips But be spittin' more game than a mouth full of poker chips And I was glad that the world recognize how dope this is And the prayer was effective If you stressed and depressed, let this come and soak in your brain First time that I ever played "Po Pimp" for somebody, I was on the way to work on the train And I didn't quit it 'til the record was droppin' But when I did it, I knew it was right 'Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words, it get darker than what I would like but I know I'm alright
