From I Might Forgive... But I Don’t Forget2023

Lyrics

Expectations

[Intro]

(J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League)

[Verse 1]

First mistake is actin' like we really enemies

I'm a boss, you ain't got that type of energy

Like the boy Messi, I'm out your league, nigga

Go on, kick rocks, smoke your lil' weed, nigga

I only got one job, nigga, that's bein' Jeezy

And one thing about it, I make it look easy

Fuck you talkin' 'bout? You's a grown man

Puttin' your expectations on a grown man

No fucks given, that's the birthplace

You weren't the nigga for the job in the first place

You only had one job, you tryna be a rapper

That's like Palm Beach County tryna be Alaska

I lost millions when that nigga left thеm guns on that bus

And I ain't say shit when they put me in thеm cuffs

So run your smear campaign 'til you get tired

Then you can tell them folks the truth, how you got fired

Ten million in bail, two weeks in a cell

'Cause you ain't do your job, nigga, shoutout to my lawyer

Conflict of interest, yeah, I'm old school

Any nigga hire you is a damn fool

[Chorus]

Fuck we talkin' 'bout? You's a grown man

Puttin' your expectations on a grown man

Damn right, I'm a hustler's hustler

Them expectations be a motherfucker

How you blame another nigga for your whole life?

Bet a thousand, shoot a thousand, nigga, roll dice

Damn right, I'm a hustler's hustler

Them expectations be a motherfucker

[Verse 2]

Niggas must be on drugs, where the mollies at?

I'm just glad they don't know where the bodies at

I dare you motherfuckers to name one time

That it went down that I wasn't on the front line

It was just a flesh wound, nigga, quit cryin'

Even gave you severance pay, nigga, stop lyin'

Let's pick a word, I'ma go on 'head with, "Blame"

How a grown man blamin' you for everything?

Blame ain't the strategy for a meaningful life

And the crazy part about it, nigga think he right

What you thought I was gon' magically make you rich?

And when that fell, that just magically made you switch?

Wrong mindset, you talkin' with your hand out

Couldn't have been me, I would've took the man route

Damn right, nigga, I'm a hustler's hustler

Them expectations be a motherfucker

[Chorus]

Fuck we talkin' 'bout? You's a grown man

Puttin' your expectations on a grown man

Damn right, I'm a hustler's hustler

Them expectations be a motherfucker

How you blame another nigga for your whole life?

Bet a thousand, shoot a thousand, nigga, roll dice

Damn right, I'm a hustler's hustler

Them expectations be a motherfucker
