Risk It

100% pure orange juice from concentrate
Yeah
Uhh
I love my girl to death, but lately she’s been tripping on me
Claim that I never make time & shes feeling lonely
I’m feeling shitty, my guilty conscience is weighing on me
Looking back at the fact that she left everything for me
I’m at a point where I’m willing to risk it all
If you’re down to fuck with your boy and if not then don’t get involved
I’ve had plenty of people say they down for the cause
And their colors change like the leaves do in the fall
Yeah
And mama, I know you’re telling me to settle down
Start a family, buy some land, consider building me a house
But only if you’ve seen the visions I’ve seen
Believe the things I believe
You see that life ain’t for me
You say I’m just like my father and yeah at times I could be
But then you say all the time and that’s when I disagree (oh lord)
I used to hear that shit like every day
But I’m probably the best mistake my parents ever have made
I’m not tryna be the best, I’m tryna make a difference
But, i-i-it's what it is, man, and I-I feel like, I feel like
A lotta people are seeing my vision now, dude
Like, I feel like people are actually relatin'
Procrastination kills, that’s word to Curt Co'
Life’s the biggest bitch that always finds a way to hurt you
I’m starting to think that we all just living a lie
I keep tryna reach for my dreams but they’re all a little too high
I keep tryna meet with my goals but they’re all a little too shy
They keep tryna kill my faith but that’s something that just won’t die, right
I’ve had these contacts in for quite a minute now
And that’s why I can’t see my vision vivid now
Fuck what you talking, I’m never stoppin, it just won’t happen
Most of my childhood friends I seen is out here trappin
My homeboy told me
«They ain’t tryna see us win bro, they just tryna send us back the same way
that we came in bro
It ain’t meant for our kind to make it out of this
Punk ass police always find a way to try to manage shit
Against us, it ain’t shit but a mess
I guess it was a good thing you unexpectedly left»
Yeah
And that reminded me of harder times
I’m talking times I would preferably not cross my mind
I remember crossing that river in '95
Just a couple of days after Selena died
On a cool, dark night in early April
Just me and my mama runnin in hopes of makin some paper and dreams of a better
life
I swear we started from nothin, ain’t even thought of it twice
We had to have gotten somethin, yeah
And I still can’t seem to know the worth of this dream we have of being rich
before leavin this Earth
And we all tryna climb up the ladder
Money ain’t everything, it’s just the only thing that’ll matter
Yeah
Still figuring it out, what the world expects from me
I asked the game to be mine, she just kept on rejecting me
Fuck it, just live one day at a time right?
Yeah, just live one day at a time, yeah
(Instrumental break)
(Outro)
Before I sleep from time to time, get on my knees and pray
My own people hatin on me, that’s a fuckin shame
That’s a fuckin shame, yeah
Before I sleep from time to time, get on my knees and pray
My own people hatin on me, that’s a fuckin shame
That’s a fuckin shame, one time
