Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sometimes it feel like **** you love the most be the one that bring you down
Just speakin' from experiences I done been around
I remember shit was smooth, we was dreamin' cap and gowns
The older **** preached to us the shit that we see now
Some of your friends gon' die, some of your friends gon' live
Some of 'em go to jail for all the shit they did
Every year they solid, every year they straight
I was always solid, solid all the way
[Verse 2]
The way this shit at stake, you couldn't wait your turn
Studied my position, really had to sit and learn
Really about my money, better pay me like Big Worm
Still I'm cleanin' money like a **** afraid of germs
Drippin', I'm the flyest, you could never call me sherm
This Louis V on me cost me like nothin', I could burn
Life is so funny like every day I see it turn
Misunderstood, don't understand, you could learn
[Verse 3]
I was born to be great
I wanna know why they tell me I ain't
And I can't stop, won't stop
And I, I
[Verse 4]
You need to be done, done, done, done and think somethin' over
You just need to chill and focus
Try to get your life in motion
Don't think that I need to
Gave you your position, you just gotta see it through
Tried to help some ****, they ain't want it, it was cool
Now they try to tell me that I'm actin' brand new
[Verse 5]
I was on my dick in the pit, goin' through all types of shit
So my momma always told me, "This the only life you get"
Havin' fun, goin' dumb 'cause we started off with nothin'
That's when we was tryna catch a opp and put two in his bun
Try to run, are you dumb? It's a beam on every gun
Witnesses is dyin', man, I see than when we come
I done seen a lot of **** fold
Seen a lot of **** change, **** bold
Growin' up, I'm gettin' old, start settin' goals
Tryna make more money off my businesses and shows
And everybody gon' hate, I'm great, I know
Everybody can hate, I'm great, I know
And I'm just gettin' wiser as you see the time go
I'm just gettin' wiser as you see the time go
Everybody can hate, I'm great, I know
Everybody can hate, I'm great, I know
[Verse 6]
I was born to be great
I wanna know why they tell me I ain't
And I can't stop, won't stop
And I, whoa whoa
