The Manuscript

Ayo

Yup, yup, yup

Ayo

Need it all and I ain't takin' no less when I'm slidin' through

If they told you that I ain't about a check, they lied to you

Started at the bottom, now the shit I'm on phenomenal

Came a long way from the blue cops and hot pursuit

Got in trouble a lot, locked for being wild and loose

Then I grew, now they love the style all around, who knew? (Who knew?)

I make it do what it do

I was in the dark, now I'm gettin closer to the light, improving the view (Shinin')

You gotta be hands on to understand this shit (Uh-huh)

Like a braille page, I been stickin' to the manuscript (Woo)

The bitches get turned off when ya shit is on

I really am what I spit in songs (Facts)

**** be actin like they really want smoke 'til they hit the bong

Then they take a toke, burn they throat, choke, then they gone (Brap)

What we on is far beyond you pions

I glow like neon, kill everything I be on

I hustle, ain't nothing coming free

I don't even wanna talk if you **** ain't bringing dollars my way

I go and get it now, so why the fuck should I wait?

My mind is focused on this money I make

Ayo

My ****, you should know it's never all love, don't be naive

Everything come with a price, so all of mine is something I need

I bang for my belief like Brother Saeed

R.I.P. to my **** that died livin' life at high speed

The game's in my veins like fluid out the IV

But I was born with it, it's natural, word to mommy (Uh huh)

I'm shinin' cause the god inside me

I don't look up to the sky for guidance (Nah)

My eyes ain't blinded by the trick knowledge

Caught a case, got kicked out, I ain't skip college

But got my intellect from dark deals for dirty dollars

Wise writers and ghetto survivors (Uh huh)

Got it out the mud, I'm my own provider

When Muggs planned to multiply the pot and divide up

She love me cause before I ever slid inside her body, left her mind fucked

She mine, she give me blind trust to the end of the road

Mind, body in control of that soul, ****

I hustle, ain't nothing coming free

I don't even wanna talk if you **** ain't bringing dollars my way

I go and get it now so why the fuck should I wait?

My mind is focused on this money I make
