Effort

Pack Bussin’

ItzCrae
Bitch

Man I been
Been snappin’ for a long minute bruh

You know?
Thats what happen when you put in that fuckin effort you feel me

It ain't always been that way though

Listen

I just need to make an effort
I need to make me better
Trynna shine under that pressure
I need to let her go
She’ll drive me crazy if I let her
But I need to know if me showing more effort would’ve kept her
I need to show these people that I’m the more nothing lesser
Everybody something special
But they ain’t this fucking special
Teacher said if you would apply yourself you’d just be so much better
You just don’t put in no effort
Dont give them extra seconds
That could make your work impressive

Ain’t really get it then
I was good with coasting by
I was good spending my extra time just smoking getting high
That’s what made me feel alive
The instant gratification, of blowing smoke in the sky
Til I was out on my own
And got my first taste of life
Thinking I was only nineteen with the tools to get it right
But I definitely got it wrong
And it hurt me down inside
It’s how I really lost the drive
Thought I was making big moves
Cuz the deal a nigga signed
No disrespect to the label but they sold me on a lie
Made an album that shit barely saw a single ray of light
Had me tight
Year of work down the drain down the pipe
Wishing that I had the knowledge then to exercise my rights
Why niggas messing with my life
I know my worth I know my price
I know my pain, I know my strife
From all them times I rolled them dice
On rainy days, and dark ass nights
I thought that all this bad shit going on was just my life
Until I realized that I manifested this and paid the price

So when you put on this
All I ever knew

Cuz i wasn’t the number one recruit

All I ever knew, was effort would get me noticed
Effort, would one day take care of my mom and my kids
Effort

Which is between you and you
Nobody else can give you effort

I just need to make an effort
I need to make me better
Trynna shine under that pressure
I need to let her go
She’ll drive me crazy if I let her
But I need to know if me showing more effort would’ve kept her
I need to show these people that I’m the more nothing lesser
Everybody something special
But they ain’t this fucking special
Teacher said if you would apply yourself you’d just be so much better
You just don’t put in no effort
Dont give them extra seconds
That could make your work impressive

Cuz I seen what you can really do, now that’s all I’m expecting
Thats the shit like that had me feeling like the man from adolescence
Confused me when this shit ain’t end working how I expected
I’ve always had this problem, what I care about I neglect it
Type to act like I don’t give a fuck
Suited up
Trynna play a part but ain’t know who I was
Who I loved
Ended up leaving me
That shit fucked me up, but really was a blessing
Cuz you gotta lose the shit you love sometimes to learn your lesson
Put in effort
If you don’t it’s just gone lead you to more stressing
To depression
Getting comfortables, the worst thing that could happen
You got traction then go slide
If you just slide, then you need traction
Yeah I slid a couple times, but I won’t slip up I got passion
That LiL life I want I’ll grab it
Can't have have my life ending tragic
Want the whole fam living lavish
So on tracks I got to spazzing
Now my niggas rapping, wait til Smoov drop he wreaking havoc
Damn they thought is was just me but really all my niggas have it nigga

Fuck is you talking bout
I ride for my guys whole time you already know how the fuck we rockin’ nigga

All my niggas have it
All my niggas got the talent
You don’t see the vision?

You can’t get with it then get the fuck gone nigga

You wasn’t there putting in no effort with us
You wasn’t putting up shots in the gym
You wasn’t there with me, GL and Shlimmm nigga
Fuck is you talking bout?
