Different Strokes

[Intro]
Art Dealer
Uh

[Verse 1]
I ask why you leavin' food on the table
My dudes in the cut with them tools, they livin' fatal
It's a hard life, so remember to keep the pipe
Get your papes, kid; doin' drive-bys to shake cribs
Fleein' from police, skippin' court to escape bids
Different strokes for different folks, the hate I don't promote
Control mics like the remote, it's kind of stressful, hard to cope
Well, God bless you to make it out this vessel of poverty
If I'm sayin' that I'm God, then acknowledge me
Niggas don't wanna give me props; it's cool, I'ma still drop
This Dump Gawd shit gon' be the death of me
Me and Monk cookin' the recipe, the streets invest in me
Art dealership, limited shit, especially (You feel me? Uh)

[Chorus]
Different strokes, different folks, I'm like a symbol of hope
Different songs, different notes when the lyrics is dope
Every pen stroke's a path to righteous
So I'm stayin' focused, 'cause these niggas out'chea triflin'
Different strokes, different folks, I'm like a symbol of hope
Different songs, different notes when the lyrics is dope
Every pen stroke's a path to righteous
So I'm stayin' focused, 'cause these niggas out'chea triflin' (Uh)

[Verse 2]
Yo, check the prognosis
I'm losin' no focus, I'm smokin' all roaches
Watch for the law approachin'
It's not appropriate for them to search
Know your rights, know your worth
I put my faith in Allah first
And when he take me, I hope he forgive me
For all the sinnin' I did, fucked up things that I did
Remember days as a kid, stealin' out the grocery sto'
'Cause I was po'
Couldn't realize who's friend or foe, you know?
I feel like the whole world's startin' to be against me
Don't tempt me; they don't want me to reach sixty
It's all about community hustle, we all in on the struggle
So I'm makin' it humble, pushin' it no matter what
Talkin' to bitches that's bad as fuck
You mad as fuck, but truth is I don't give a fuck
It ain't my problem that niggas don't have
I try so hard not to laugh, 'cause deep inside, I'm kinda sad

[Chorus]
Different strokes, different folks, I'm like a symbol of hope
Different songs, different notes when the lyrics is dope
Every pen stroke's a path to righteous
So I'm stayin' focused, 'cause these niggas out here triflin'
Different strokes, different folks, I'm like a symbol of hope
Different songs, different notes when the lyrics is dope
Every pen stroke's a path of righteous
So I'm stayin' focused, 'cause these niggas out'chea triflin'

[Outro]
Dump Gawd
Dump Gawd, nigga
