[Intro]
Uh, yeah-yeah
Uh-huh, yeah-yeah
[Verse 1]
Ayo, B-L-U, prophet of profits
I don't got ends and my pockets are thin
Back then, I was coppin' the hot shit
The whip got rims, the hemp, the drank then sank in toxic shit
Dropkicked my conscience
My com' sense took offense to some of the shit I was droppin'
Was it because the Feds was watchin'?
Heads was doubtin'? Truth is my head was clouded
After clout shit, it's not like I wasn't 'bout shit
Wasn't 'bout it cause I didn't do it, I had better options
Rap first 'til my tracks burst
Right until my back hurt, this music was that work
At first, I was doubtin' my way out
Midlife crisis, no more time in the playhouse
Only matter of timе in the rhyme 'fore I brеak out
Got the plan laid out, fuck a stakeout, grenade a house
[Chorus]
'Cause this is what it all boils down to
You can leave it in the streets or the sound booth
You can leave with the throne and the crown too
Before they leave you where they found you
'Cause this is what it all boils down to
You can leave it in the streets or the sound booth
You can leave with the throne and the crown too
Before they leave you where they found you
[Verse 2]
Ayo, I been around the block, been around the globe
Been around friends and I been around foes
It's funny how the money get went around those
Yo, I coulda owned a home by now, but I don't
And some say at this rate, I probably won't
Yo, I'm goin' on 40, my prime done come and gone
But no, my fate say it's different ways to shape it
Make myself a great date, today is what you make it
Been thinkin' bout goin' back to school, graduating
But I get so mad faded, I can't pass math basics
Face it, life ain't great for everybody
Used to be the brokest, now I'm the oldest at the party
Pardon me, retirement is beatin' down my door
Screamin', "Let me in", 'fore you end up in the floor
For tryin' to chase cake, sellin' bass to the poor
Now embrace for the war, pray you make it to the Lord
[Chorus]
'Cause this is what it all boils down to
You can leave it in the streets or the sound booth
You can leave with the throne and the crown too
Before they leave you where they found you
'Cause this is what it all boils down to
You can leave it in the streets or the sound booth
You can leave with the throne and the crown too
Before they leave you where they found you
[Outro]
'Cause this is what it all boils down to
Streets or the sound booth
'Cause this is what it all boils down to
Streets or the sound booth
