Lessons

(Ayy, Wonda, you're an alien)

Intuition strong, man, I know it's promised
Finish line, shit
The haters tryna throw me off it
They just see the name and
Think they know the topic
Girls, money, guns, and a load of boxes
Cah it's been that and soon be
What it used to be
When I get these critics to get used to me
They only see what they wanna see, man
They're half blind collect the bag
Already tell you I should half mine
Chattin' to my little nigga by the stairs
Sat there and stared
Told him listen with his ears
No competition with your peers
You can get it all togеther
Do it that way, you're gettin' it forеver
Clever, you gotta be the brains
Walk into the trap, now you gotta go escape
You can't always get it right, first
You gotta know mistakes
Puttin' it in drive but you're
Gonna press the brakes, wait
Money train and it came
I'm not to blame, you was late
I ain't alright, man, I'm great
And they don't wanna risk
Give but they'll take
And they ain't ready
Reason why they're tellin' you to wait
But you keep on going
You can't interfere with fate
I know we can't wait for
That person with a cape
Neighbourhood heroes really came
From the estates

Product of my environment, I'm in a maze
I thought nothing was bigger than my estate
That's why I looked to the
Olders to pave the way my mummy raised me
They never gave her a raise
I done seen both sides of the coin
Like I've seen both sides of the point
Success and the consequence
Heat gave him confidence
They both lost life, both sides of the toy
Now the lifer say he wants
To get his life back
Although the family can't ever
Get the time back
Different mood, different view
I'm only pissed cah I've seen
It through my eyes, fam
Now I'm standin' on the stage
I'm just thankful and happy I became
Cah I seen man, rattin' in the race
The irony is seeing man
Standing there in cuffs
Cah he got caught grabbin' on a chain
When my heating was the oven
Handwashing all my jeans cah my mother
Let my cousin do the plumbing
When you see somethin' doesn't
Mean you need somethin'
Had that different type of hunger
We didn't even eat nothin'
Fool, I had to sell a gram
Now if you really get the picture
You can profit off the 'Gram on the low
Had to elevate to really over stand that
When you got the bottle
You know how to dodge the can
