Lyrics
[Intro] Uh [Verse 1] Honor matters when no one's looking, and can you look in the mirror? Can't be biased when you're critiquing just 'cause someone's familiar Poverty is a shortness of breath for Benjamin's dead inhaler You got money to spread around here, things are only get realer Minute you brush niggas away, they start painting the wicked picture You think soberin' will make me feel better, I'm gettin' sicker Nigga, money and flicks don't mix like different liquor Blicker, don't lеt me die, last words of a victim's whisper I wasn't always a winnеr, who knocked me down would've lost Got addicted to lavish living, got me back on my course Just be original, can you picture a copycat with the torch? God in the physical, hard-hittin' Rocky pack to endorse Deadliest right of hand, filthy in my survival plan In the event I die, bring a nigga back with a hologram The drama land, I'm in limited edition monogram Don't nothin' 'cause separation more than a comma can [Chorus] When I woke up today, I won, I should have been dead Look at what I've become, I see them skin shed Snakes'll be where you from, best to be with your gun Struggle and sacrifices just to be number one If I see tomorrow, I'm blessed Niggas that ain't here wishing they could distress Sometimes that in fear, living peaceful's a stretch Money, violence and sex Ain't no honor in thieves, they gon' chew on you next [Verse 2] They'll never appreciate the door until they know that it's shut Keeping my distance from it, even when the world opens up The less fortunate is another individual's luck Snitches get stitches, nigga, the son of a ritual cut Respect nothing more than what's honest Now would you tell me the truth? You wanna change history, don't you? They get buried in proof Lift out the noose and stand up, nigga, in the face of whoever Got two pair of eyes lookin' at me, gotta raise 'em up better Buying anything I wrote off, you got to pay me forever Ain't no coming back from your shady endeavors Can't spend a day being jealous Hanging up all this war jewelry, hard to remove the victor None of his scripted perspective coming from newer scripture I moved the Richard with new elixir, the tool'll fix you Two crucifixes, why follow? Don't think the shoes'll fit you You lose a nigga, good pics'll make the illusion bigger In the blink of a eye, there's heat on you, no room to shiver [Chorus] When I woke up today, I won, I should have been dead Look at what I've become, I see them skin shed Snakes'll be where you from, best to be with your gun Struggle and sacrifices just to be number one I see tomorrow, I'm blessed Niggas that ain't here wishing they could distress Sometimes that in fear, living peaceful's a stretch Money, violence and sex Ain't no honor in thieves, they gon' chew on you next [Verse 3] I know I've made mistakes 'cause shit ain't go according to plan Maybe I was right all along and it was all in God's hands Classic composing's therapeutic, thank the Lord for my fans Knew I would make it the same day niggas told me I can't Get you a spot to see me climb, marking my name's in the tower All praise to the throne above me, He who gave me the power Cut communication off lately, I need all of my hours I'm living wrong, hoped that the conscious shakes the wrong reasons out us By the time they give you your flowers, they'll be dead with no color Got no problem meeting my fate long as it's not by my brother Know when I'm driving any day, I could get stopped for my color You'll never understand the drama if you're not from the gutter I was told it's 187s when a cop undercover People will lose their whole identity for a popular summer Sometimes everybody don't make it and I'm not going to wonder I knew niggas selling their soul every day, look what it's come to [Chorus] When I woke up today, I won, I should have been dead Look at what I've become, I see them skin shed Snakes'll be where you from, best to be with your gun Struggle and sacrifices just to be number one I see tomorrow, I'm blessed Niggas that ain't here wishing they could distress Sometimes that in fear, living peaceful's a stretch Money, violence and sex Ain't no honor in thieves, they gon' chew on you next
