Not for nothin'
Not for nothin'
Not for nothin'

Yo
I'ma be a legend, DOA, we ain't bluffin' (no)
Quittin' nowadays still the same, that's for suckers (yeah)
The top is only made if you're sacrificin' something (yeah)
Don't you make me come here all this way
Puttin' work in here for nothin' (hey, hey)
Not for nothin'
Oh, no, I got it from the dirt, that's for sure
No discussion, not for nothin' (not for nothin')
Oh, not for nothin' (no, not for nothin')
'Cause every stripe that you deserve is a stripe you gotta earn
It's not for nothin'

I guess they memory need joggin' (oh yeah)
But we just gettin' started (yeah)
Yeah, they knew what it was
When they set us up and called us easy targets (oh, you knew)
But when every door is closed (oh yeah)
And every secrets guarded (my God)
Sometimes you gotta break a couple windows
And set fire to the garden (my God)
We're not the ones to complain (no, no, no)
We are the ones who accepted the game
And all that eventually came (oh, yeah, yeah)
We never looking to blame
We had to make us a way
We knew the stress and the strain
Walking alone, so we learned how to dance in the rain
We found the secret to pain (what's that?)
Knowing that nothin' you do is in vain (ooh)
We are the tribe
We are the ones who survived 
The ones who they cannot deny (yeah)
Even though we know they try
We are the ones with the drive (ah)
Ambition and courage inside (ah)
Tell 'em that we are outside (ah)
Chasing whatever the prize
Damn it, 'cause we still alive (ah)
Even though we know that we should have died (woo-ooh)
Blood, sweat and tears, we earned it (earned it)
Every trick of the trade, we learned it (learned it)
Every little fall back bridge that led us back to falling off track
We burned it (burned it)
We had to grow in discernment (yeah)
To see all the snakes on the surface (yeah)
But now that we found our purpose (yeah)
Forgive us for feeling like we still deserve it

I'ma be a legend, DOA, we ain't bluffin' (yeah)
Quittin' nowadays still the same, that's for suckers
The top is only made if you're sacrificin' something (something)
Don't you make me come here all this way
Puttin' work in here for nothin' (hey, hey)
Not for nothin' (hey, hey)
Oh, no, I got it from the dirt, that's for sure
No discussion, not for nothin' (not for nothin')
Oh, not for nothin' (oh, not for nothin')
'Cause every stripe that you deserve is a stripe you gotta earn
It's not for nothin'

We had to block out the noise (noise)
We had to maintain the poise (poise)
Despite how the journey may look to the crowd
We still gotta run out the course (run it)
'Cause we know the cost of perfection is pain and rejection
To build, you must learn to destroy
Regardless of when, a win is a win
But first, you gotta get on the court
There ain't no heroes in the stands (yeah)
There ain't no legends on the sideline (yeah)
Gotta play every game to win (yeah)
'Cause every first time could be your last time (yeah)
'Cause one day when you close this chapter (chapter)
Better pray you were more than a factor (yeah)
There is only one goal that we after
That's to have our name in the rafters

I'ma be a legend, DOA, we ain't bluffin' (nah)
Quittin' nowadays still the same, that's for suckers (suckers)
The top is only made if you're sacrificin' something
Don't you make me come here all this way
Puttin' work in here for nothin' (hey, hey)
Not for nothin' (not for nothin')
Oh, no, I got it from the dirt, that's for sure
No discussion, not for nothin' (not for nothin')
Oh, not for nothin' (oh, not for nothin')
'Cause every stripe that you deserve is a stripe you gotta earn
It's not for nothin'

It's not for nothin'
