Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You have no idea what it take
Hard work
[Verse 2]
If you knew what it took (Word)
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Cray)
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Don't stop, ****)
You would work for everything you get (Keep going)
Hey, if you knew what it took (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
All them nights in platinum, throwin' up the cash (Right)
Studio session after session, I get it back
All them trips we took, now I put money on your book (Free money)
All them licks I hit so I can invest in my hits
[Verse 4]
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Cray)
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Don't stop)
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
I lost a baby mama and a good girl behind that
[Verse 5]
I'm standin' in the middle of the rain (What you doin' Future?)
Trying to wash off this pain
And when them drops stopped (What happened?)
That's when I come to my senses and I finally realized
I'm scarred for life (Scarred for life), and fuck the hype, I go hard for life (It's what I do)
Ain't it precious? I'm thankful
For every second I'm in the living room
My phone up, actin' like a piston
You so caught in the present
You don't wanna stay down for your prison
You 'bout that drama drama, I want that llama llama
Behind these raps, behind that trap, I ask my baby mama
Go see my vision, my dreams may be too big for you (Too big for you)
You better thank God every day I had a kid by you
[Verse 6]
All them nights in platinum, throwin' up the cash (Right)
Studio session after session, I hit it back
All them trips we took, now I put money on your book (Free money)
All them licks I hit so I can invest in my hits
[Verse 7]
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Cray)
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Don't stop)
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
I lost a baby mama and a good girl behind that
[Verse 8]
I'm standin' in the middle of the rain
Tryna hide the years running down my face
And when them drops stopped
I come to my senses and I go hard for my block (Yeah)
Kirkwood for life (For life), Lil' Mexico I got so many stripes (So many stripes)
I coulda went to war twice and came back nice
With a few scratches, all I need is some green plastic
And I go motherfuckin' get that cash
I'm a survivor with plenty fashion
And a whole lotta soul with my voice raspy (What I do)
I'm gonna try to spit my lung up (For all my friends)
When the sun down till it come up, find a way to come up
[Verse 9]
All them nights in platinum, throwin' up the cash (Right)
Studio session after session, I hit it back
All them trips we took, now I put money on your book (Free money)
All them licks I hit so I can invest in my hits
[Verse 10]
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Cray)
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took (Don't stop)
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
I lost a baby mama and a good girl behind that
