The Manuscript

[Intro]

Ayo

Yup, yup, yup

[Verse 1]

Ayo

Need it all and I ain't takin' no less when I'm slidin' through

If they told you that I ain't about a check, they lied to you

Started at the bottom, now the shit I'm on phenomenal

Came a long way from the blue cops and hot pursuit

Got in trouble a lot, locked for being wild and loose

Then I grew, now they love the style all around, who knew? (Who knew?)

I make it do what it do

I was in the dark, now I'm gettin closer to the light, improving the view (Shinin')

You gotta be hands on to understand this shit (Uh-huh)

Like a braille page, I been stickin' to the manuscript (Woo)

The bitches get turned off when ya shit is on

I really am what I spit in songs (Facts)

Niggas be actin' like they really want smoke 'til they hit the bong

Then they take a toke, burn they throat, choke, then they gone (Brap)

What we on is far beyond you peons

I glow like neon, kill everything I be on

[Hook x2]

I hustle, ain't nothing coming free

I don't even wanna talk if you niggas ain't bringing dollars my way

I go and get it now, so why the fuck should I wait?

My mind is focused on this money I make

[Verse 2]

Ayo

My nigga, you should know it's never all love, don't be naive

Everything come with a price, so all of mine is something I need

I bang for my belief like Brother Saeed

R.I.P. to my niggas that died livin' life at high speed

The game's in my veins like fluid out the IV

But I was born with it, it's natural, word to mommy (Uh-huh)

I'm shinin' 'cause the God inside me

I don't look up to the sky for guidance (Nah)

My eyes ain't blinded by the trick knowledge

Caught a case, got kicked out, I ain't skip college

But got my intellect from dark deals for dirty dollars

Wise writers and ghetto survivors (Uh-huh)

Got it out the mud, I'm my own provider

When Muggs planned to multiply the pot and divide up

She love me 'cause before I ever slid inside her body, left her mind fucked

She mine, she give me blind trust to the end of the road

Mind, body in control of that soul, nigga

[Hook x2]

I hustle, ain't nothing coming free

I don't even wanna talk if you niggas ain't bringing dollars my way

I go and get it now so why the fuck should I wait?

My mind is focused on this money I make

[Outro]
