AT WHAT COST

Say no more, all good things end, we all heard that one before

Whoever said that shit better prepare for a war

'Cause I'm good, I'll pass it on to generations and more

As I should, 'cause I'm here, it ain't no stoppin', of course

I started dancin' with my pen, I made the paper my floor

I'm 'bout to be carryin' the game, I better strengthen my core

Are you happy where you at? I said, "No bueno, señor"

If I knew my time was comin', then I'd be waitin' too

I'd be waitin' too

Dead or alive, I swear to God I'll make it through

I'll make it through

I lost my brothers to this shit, look to the sky and I salute

I look my brother in his eyes, I almost cried, I miss you too

I miss you too

I needed help, they slammed the door

Now I don't need shit, they offer favors like I'm poor

Favors like I'm poor

I'm speedin' fast, hope I don't crash

I see red lights and I don't slow, I hope I make it home

Lights and I don't slow

Can't help but look around and say this where I, this where I belong

Yeah, but at what cost?

Should I have spent time with friends instead of bein' a boss?

Should I have put down the mic and maybe take up lacrosse?

I been tryna find myself, and now my childhood's lost

Wish I could put myself in ice, hope I never defrost

I'm tryna call my younger years, but they won't answer my call at all

I love my fam', but it's not showin' at all

I ain't been playin' catch with Pops or chasin' after a ball, oh God

Wait a minute, I do this for myself

I do this for the people who ain't wanna wish me well

So, I, I gotta stay focused, I can't get knocked off my track

I do this for my so-called friends, hatin' behind my back

And those same people be congratulatin' me lately

"Oh my God Mabu, it's so impressive, you've been goin' crazy"

I just smile and shake they hand, it's kinda funny, man

Always knew my biggest haters would be my biggest fans

Say no more, all good things end, we all heard that one before

Yeah, whoever said that shit better prepare for a war

'Cause I'm good, I'll pass it on to generations and more

As I should, 'cause I'm here, it ain't no stoppin', of course

I started dancin' with my pen, I made the paper my floor

I'm 'bout to be carryin' the game, I better strengthen my core

Are you happy where you at? I said, "No bueno, señor"

I said, "No bueno, señor"

Are you happy where you at? I said, "No bueno, señor"
