Clarity

[Intro]
Yeah
I looked at myself in the mirror one time
And I was just like damn, I done came a long way from the shit I used to do
I'm talkin' about, the nigga I used to be, I ain't even that nigga no more

[Verse 1]
Let's be clear 'bout somethin', I never asked for a handout
I came in on my own two feet: stayed down, now I stand out
Took a minute to break, duckin' bad vibes and the yellow tape
Hit the blunt once, pass it 'round, puffin' circles smaller than the ashtray
So I came back fast, take the good with the bad
I been a real one, since the beginnin'
I got a million locked in my vision
Gotta go get that bag
Mama used to tell a nigga how much I was special then
Had too much pressure then, gotta be great and not lesser than
Tell me how the fuck I'm 'posed to change when you still the same shit
Tryna focus so much on my brain so you still refrainin'
I'm tired of complaining
And I done lost so much shit in my life no sense in me namin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Life short, money small
Win or lose, I'ma take it all
The bad days made me strong
Hard times got me through it all

[Chorus]
Life short, money small
Win or lose, I'ma take it all
The bad days made me strong
Hard times got me through it all
Life short, money small
Win or lose, I'ma take it all
The bad days made me strong
Hard times got me through it all

[Verse 2]
Over thinkin', over thinkin'; not a drinker, but I'm over drinkin'
I done passed the point of return twice, tryna sober up 'stead of throwin' up
Somebody hold me up, scared to open up, so I shut it down
I wear my heart on my sleeve, I ain't really scared to love, I'm just scared you gon' leave me please
I won't love shit I don't need
It seem like God always take the good ones close to me
Some nights I feel like ain't no hope for me
This ain't no joke to me, know I 'posed to be
At the top where I 'posed to be
All my life on my rosary
Tattoo all wounds, permanent scars on a nigga heart
Always had it hard, shit been that way since the start
I wish the blind could see in the dark
I know if he could he'll see I'm a star

[Pre-Chorus]
Life short, money small
Win or lose, I'ma take it all
The bad days made me strong
Hard times got me through it all

[Chorus]
Life short, money small
Win or lose, I'ma take it all
The bad days made me strong
Hard times got me through it all
Life short, money small
Win or lose, I'ma take it all
The bad days made me strong
Hard times got me through it all
