Nothin For Nothin (Feat. CL)
Yeah, these cats still don't get it, know what I'm saying? Tell em like this.
Lights out, it's over, can't push this boulder
Jaded and faded is this concrete soldier
Rhymes getting deeper now as I get older
And fate is the weight bearing down on my shoulders
Everyday I ponder life and time
Amazed how fast the movie passes by
It was like yesterday when I was on my block
With my boys on the corner trying to beatbox
It was like last week when I got my new bike
Jumping hills on my dead end until we lost sunlight
See I knew I'd be special in life
Cause I'm a father to sons, husband to a wife
But my passion still be the beats and mics
See I'm in college on the weekend, the studio at night
Writing on breaks, jotting down my mistakes
Successes and all else that takes place
This world gives you nothing for nothing
Gotta stand tall, stand for something
When it comes down it goes around
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
But I stay right, no shame, self-made
Going on seek my page
Reminisce on days past
Holding on but it just won't last
This world gives you nothing for nothing
Gotta stand tall, stand for something
When it comes down it goes around
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
But I stay right, no shame, self-made
Going on seek my page
Reminisce on days past
Holding on but it just won't last
Yo not much dough but this cat still flows
Been down and out and spent some time in the last row
Persistence, it be my middle name
No shame in my game in the pursuit of fame
You take shorts? You end up short
So recognise ain't no lies when you look into my eyes
Dressed proper, well-schooled like a doctor
Golden-aged hip hopper, nine-to-five show stopper
Grown-ass man doing what he can
Dreams shattered by years working for the man
Been knocked down but always got up
Been myself but still got labelled like a product
Most stay down until you hit a cliff
Some rich people still think life's a *****
Get busy dying or work on how you live
See life through my kids, stay doing it ya dig
This world gives you nothing for nothing
Gotta stand tall, stand for something
When it comes down it goes around
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
But I stay right, no shame, self-made
Going on seek my page
Reminisce on days past
Holding on but it just won't last
This world gives you nothing for nothing
Gotta stand tall, stand for something
When it comes down it goes around
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
But I stay right, no shame, self-made
Going on seek my page
Reminisce on days past
Holding on but it just won't last
The saga seen back and wait for it had happen
And when I look over it seems like everybody's laughing
Remember high school when people asked where you see yourself in five years?
Your type of career? A doctor, a lawyer, maybe a cop
A CEO if you're the type to try to make it to the top
Work for the state and not go to college
And try to get by on this real world knowledge
Join the army to pay for school
But see anything that you avoid just ain't cool
Now it's CL baby and everything is gravy CL：
Been around for a minute now you can't phase me
Life is love so love your life
Once a lifetime doesn't happen twice
Live today because today we live
Live to love and love how you live
This world gives you nothing for nothing
Gotta stand tall, stand for something
When it comes down it goes around
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
But I stay right, no shame, self-made
Going on seek my page
Reminisce on days past
Holding on but it just won't last
This world gives you nothing for nothing
Gotta stand tall, stand for something
When it comes down it goes around
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground
But I stay right, no shame, self-made
Going on seek my page
Reminisce on days past
Holding on but it just won't last
Yo man, this world gives you nothing for nothing
No fronting
Go out and get yours, know what I'm saying?
