Beau

[Verse 1]
27th of December, back in ‘96
Mom’s gone for a checkup, she’s expectin’ twins
Dad kicking in the park with my bigger sis
Till he gets that one phone call, like *Ringtone*
Yeah, that’s the doctor’s assistant, he’s saying “what’s the condition?”
We know there’s two hearts in there but only one of ‘em’s tickin’
She’s already lost one, no more waitin’ around
Get it done, get it done! Get him out, get him out!
C-section, post-natal depression
We got one; that’s a blessing, the other one went to heaven
And every time you think you winning you get pulled back quick
Like, 'what the fuck is God doing, tryna pull that shit?
But stay strong Mama, Mama, I was too young to figure
Kept me growing healthy while my brothers spirit ridin’ with ya
What did they tell my sister? She’s only one-and-a-half
Baby bother just passed, can’t be stuck in the past
You gotta live with it, paint that smile on
Mama kept us healthy, but she cryin’ when them lights off
Sleeping in a bunk bed, the only one in it
Now I’m livin’ life for two, ‘cause I’m the only one living, ah
That’s why time, I never waste it, never sit around complaining
In and out, 9-5, get it done, never ever on the same shit
They want me to do the same shit, acting dumb and getting wasted
I’ma serve a higher purpose on this Earth, that’s why I’ma try to change it
I got love for my people, we all love, we all equal
I don’t mess with no evil puppets, they all fake, they're deceitful
Acting nice when they meet you, month later they need you
We ain’t on the same level, never ever ever, I do not see you

[Chorus]
All smiles, pearly whites, that’s a given
Lot of people all around, but how many of ‘em living?
Wake up, do the do, then go back to bed
Work till you die, buddy, cop a job to the head like
All smiles, pearly whites, that’s a given
Lot of people all around, but how many of ‘em living?
Wake up, do the do, then go back to bed
Work till you die, buddy, cop a—

[Verse 2]
Uh
I’m busy tryna make Mama proud, she helped me up, so I hold her down
Work my brain to the fucking ground, so one day I’ll have it all nutted out
Me and my crew, we don’t muck about, get it done, get it down
Get respect, don’t do nothing for clout, if it ain’t love then I’m out
If it ain’t love then it’s everything else, money, money, money, that isn’t wealth
Get the cash, get the cash! Then what? Sit at home by yourself?
Don’t get me wrong, I know money is freedom, but if you’re strong enough, then you don’t need it
That be the reason I’m tryna get cheese in, just so that all of my crew can get eating

[Outro]
That’s what I’m always saying like, make the most of your time. Love what you do, coulda been me that died in that womb, so why not try change lives? Don’t do the same thing every day and complain about it. Don’t get consumed. Don’t get consumed
