Lyrics

Just Because

[Verse 1]

It's on for now, niggas ballin' now (uh huh)

It's The Firm baby, ain't no fallin' down

Through your eyes see yo' snakeness (Uh huh)

No lie, Doe Or Die, try to take this

Stay swift, you can follow if you tailgate (C'mon)

Reminiscin' when a nigga used to sell weight

Well laced, G.A. in the summertime, Freak'n it

When the time it's the ski trips, when we rich (C'mon)

Back and forth to the ball game, Hen in the cup (Ah)

Through the years niggas all changed, livin' it up

Takin's steps to the next level, seen the light

What it be like, now, puttin' weed in the pipe!

[Hook]

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

[Verse 2]

Cancun at the Jazzfest

First time we ever met you was half dressed

Easy access (Ah)

You and you whole crew, ya alright

When you beep use Code 2, call tonight

Got a villa full of young Dons

Champagne and a grill on my front lawn

What song?

We can dance to some more jams

Finally meet Nas and the whole fam

Roseland, love is love when it's all good, clutch ya name (yeah.. yeah)

Through my eyes, see I'm all hood, fuck the fame

Play a script like Larenz Tate, bench weights (Yeah)

Worked out stay in shape

Benz plates

Cruise around wit the hot sounds

Pumped loud, "I Be" by Fox Brown

It's locked down

Overall tryin' to make moves stay in the mix

Motivated by the ace, deuce, tre and the six

[Hook]

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

[Verse 3]

Wanna bring it to me right way

Face to face, (yeah) when you see me get ya lie straight

It's high stakes, (uh huh) goin' up against a street playa, true type

(uh huh)

Get the paper handle beef later, never too hype

Analyze from the next man, wants war

Still alive, on the next plan, wantin' more

Outta town tryin' to get mine stay in the cut (Uh huh)

Cubans control the prices, keep raisin' 'em up!

Peace and love to my allies (Uh, uh) play on

Stayin' up, high late at nights, stay strong

Sittin' up lettin' all y'all know the deal

This Firm shit is on for real (For real)

[Hook]

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because

Berakin' day, off this shit here

This year, snatched loot everywhere

Next year, takin' what we left here

A fear, for thugs

Hoes get dug, foes get slugs

Just because
