Lyrics
Yeah I'ma tell you like this You don't know until you know You never know And that's real shit, uh (yo) I'm from where tragedy made us strengthen And casualties don't make a difference The people who ain't from here can't imagine this way of living (can't imagine this shit) But she a diamond in the rough, who? Jasmine K Dickens She's got a bachelor's then a job at a maximum state prison But she ain't the same C.O. That's working at Chow Her pops did ten joints in the jail, she working it now (he a OG) She work in Prince dorm, he flirt with her now, and then, she like 'em But she stand firm, she never break a smirk or a smile (can't break) But he a rich nigga, he know how to play, got five left He got her address and sent her a bracelet and lingerie Prince playing chess, he thinking of fucking her smart though He hit her once, now he got that bitch smuggling smartphones It went from that, now she bringing it in, dope (that work) Prince got her locked down, he feeling like a kingpin again (damn) He running shit right, he feeding his men (feeding his boys) He sent that money home, so he meet up with Jasmine to re-up again (let's go again) But nah, shit way too lit, she tryna quit (tryna, what?) But he wasn't having it He said, "If you stop then I frame you, bitch" That nigga stuck to his word, he did her dirty (sheesh) He testified on that bitch and he got out early What's the first thing they teach you When you get status as a thug? That trust more valuable than love Little spatters from the blood But on this block, that's just what it was (you never know) When trust more valuable than love (Let me tell you what happen next, okay?) Same mother, two different pops Two brothers from two different blocks, here's the plot Some other shit, one a hustler, one into stocks, that's Lee Kinda tried running the streets, but it didn't pop, change his life around He get props for getting out before it got hot He the oldest, lil' bro is just colder, he into Glocks He remind me of a nigga I'm sending through if I get the drop (I like that lil' nigga) They fuckin' on the same bitch, don't even know, she ain't low Crib out in the 'burbs, she gave keys to both, she exposed The truth when she was nine months, gave Lee a stroke She never tried to meet my folks 'cause she was somewhere skeetin' bro And the child wasn't his, she played him like a sucker He popped to the nursery, killed the baby and his brother You never know until you know What's the first thing they teach you when you get status as a thug? trust more valuable than love Little spatters from the blood But on this block, that's just what it was When trust more valuable than love All that love shit gon' get you hurt 'Cause it don't add to no plugs, know why? 'Cause trust more valuable than love Nice guys finish last And tough guys getting tatted up with slugs out here 'Cause trust more valuable than love You never know here's how I know (never know) Small-time petty theft Crash dummy pedigree Might think he gangster but he's nothing like the Genevese Caught a rapper slipping and put a bullet in the leg of me Wait, I mean the leg of him, life feel like his testament The rapper never answer when a D.T.s is questioning Sciatic nerve, severed it, he's on prescription medicine Had to learn to walk before he got back to himself again 'Cause feeling like you cripple leaves him with a sense of helplessness Now we feeling devilish, only one way to settle this (there's only one way) The rapper does his homework, he gets governments and addresses (somebody gotta die) The rapper got patience, plus friends in high places (high places) And he knows a shooter without a gun, not dangerous The shooter on the run for other stupid shit he done The rapper drops a number one album, he's back out having fun Catch that dirty motherfucker when he finally gets sent to jail And have B.S.F. Carved in his face with a dirty nail, you never know The first thing they teach you when you get status as a thug Is trust more valuable than love Little spatters from the blood But on this block, that's just what it was When trust more valuable than love All that love shit gon' get you hurt That shit don't add up to no plugs, know why? 'Cause trust more valuable than love Nice guys finish last And tough guys getting tatted up with slugs out here 'Cause trust more valuable than love More valuable than love (you never know) You never know You never know You never know 'til you know
