Had To

[Intro]
Ay Turn That Bitch Up Glory

[Verse 1]
They say the good die young, so I was born a sinner
Lot of l's in my past, I wasn't born a winner
You see, where I'm from, I'm just another nigga
Another nigga with a voice, just another singer
Hood nigga, street nigga, hope you know the difference
I know they compare me to other niggas, I don't ever listen
Don't ever think me and you are the same, you and I are different
I swear we must be playing different games, I don't stand for ignorance

[Chorus]
I swear ima' be a legend, for I past thru'
Gotta keep your head straight, don't let em' gas you
Momma said you gotta work hard, don't let em' pass you
And just watch out for the snakes, don't let em' catch you
I said watch out for the snakes and I wouldn't put it past you
Watch out for the fakes, so my heart began to bag you
I did what I did, 'cause I had to
If I ever did the things you did, you'd be mad too
Trust me, you'd be mad too

[Verse 2]
Lookin' for it, I was skeptical
And I ain't have time to be stressing you
And I ain't have time to be frontin' you
Feel like my ditches became smaller than a decimal
Look me in my eye when I'm addressin' you
Askin' me before, so your word to me isn't credible
He told me before, you can't make yourself accessible
You can't let these niggas get next to you
They did that, they always step ahead of me
Ahead of me
You came because I know that you envy me
Envy me
Frienemy, these niggas ain't no friend of me
Ion't understand how the energy, with the enemy
And I know they wanna see the end of me
Know they wanna see the death of me
The jealousy, got them tryna stop my destiny
Swear I climb to the top while you rest asleep
And climb when you not unconstantly
Move cautiously, cause you petty niggas hate my prophecy, it's not hard to see

[Chorus]
Ima' be a legend, for I passed em'
Gotta keep your head straight, don't let em' gas you
Momma said you gotta work hard, don't let em' pass you
And just watch out for the snakes, don't let em' catch you
I said watch out for the snakes and I wouldn't put it past you
Watch out for the fakes, so my heart began to bag you
I did what I did, 'cause I had to
If I ever did the things you did, you'd be mad too
Trust me, you'd be mad too
