The Hurt

[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
