Never

Check the record, been set foot In the arena like I'm Mason Martin Margiela
Underestimated cuz your dumb ass ain't know better
Yeah, a muthafuckin' go-getter
Militant fly as fuck in a army green 'Lo sweater
Just like my nigga Thirstin Howl The Third
Came a long way from gettin' checks on the fifthteenth and first
Yeah, Section 8 icon, spent days in the Caleb Center
On some 2-2 ave shit if you ain't from this you won't know better
So how you blame us, kids corrupted turned sinners
Just so happened to be the lil' nigga that turned spitter, foolie
We was Edgard Allan Po,' now I'm poetic with the flow
Rocking leathers, quoth the raven, never more
Uh, type to settle scores, you better check the boards
Cuz your moves lookin' spotty like a Louis checkerboard
But that shit you can't carry it on your shoulders dawg
You can't look at me n call me flaw, not at all

You never took the L's we took, never tried to do it by the book
When that failed homies turned to crooks, now that we up everybody shook
Shoulda played your part, but you wasn't too smart
Watch me turn pain into art
You never took the L's we took, never tried to do it by the book
When that failed homies turned to crooks, now that we up everybody shook
Shoulda played your part, but you wasn't too smart
Watch me turn pain into art

Old girl dealing with cancer, tryna balance life like a Pisces
But I'm a cancer, out in public smile, 14 karat gold
But for real life's fucked like a dancer, on the low
Never got a answer, so I stopped calling on the lord
God damn shit gettin' heavy like the pedal on a Chevy
Certain shit in life you ain't ever ready
Dressed for the occasion fresh tee so I'm never sweaty
Stop a nigga like me gotta take me out you get me?
For the fam I stay strong like the first swig of henny
For my girl at home, provider so the bread i need it plenty
For my dawgs doin' wrong, legal routes for the fetti
Fans bump me on they phone, crank this loud like a Hemi
Shit, a nigga barely got the time to catch my breath
Migraine headaches cuz I ain't never get enough rest
It'll be worth it tho, even if it ain't perfect bro
Cuz this life shit be too live to be hurtin' yo

You never took the L's we took, never tried to do it by the book
When that failed homies turned to crooks, now that we up everybody shook
Shoulda played your part, but you wasn't too smart
Watch me turn pain into art
You never took the L's we took, never tried to do it by the book
When that failed homies turned to crooks, now that we up everybody shook
Shoulda played your part, but you wasn't too smart
Watch me turn pain into art
