Feel like I died twice to learn my lesson, slim It ain't how you live, but what's your legacy Got a uncle locked up off a felony I never met him but I'm praying for his clemency Found out he was wilding on a killing spree Unforgivable shit but that's his legacy He woulda caught another 3 if they'd set him free When my father got killed for trynna sell another key He was respected in the pocket and in the streets Go-Go drummer slained, that was his legacy Had an older brother that wasn't scary G He was the only nigga ever to inspire me Gone in '99 but came in '83 They called his name, I feel his pain from his legacy I pray to God he don't rush em when they bury me But the pressure getting heavy, I just pray he carry me Life ain't what you do but who you do it for Think outside yourself and life will give you more It ain't about what you got, my nigga, but what you brung Yeah, you talk a lot of shit but nigga what you've done I ain't a diamond yet, but the pressure on me Make me tough but yet, I'm colder than a Russian Army Been a man of my family, they just need to call me I ain't my father but enough for Kelli, Nay and Lauren Seen a pic of my father's body, the shit was haunting An expression on his face that was filled with sorrow I had no one to guide me but I'm the one they follow The man I am is one I can say I'm honestly proud of I had to earn my respect cause it was what I sought A quiet nigga, used to say I wasn't loud enough Who ever knew that life in Clinton I would have it rough With all I witnessed I found my comfort inside a blunt That's why OGs understand where I'm coming from They know my story and what I had to face coming up I learn more about my father when they brung him up I tried to wear his shoes but I chose to hung em up Life ain't what you do but who you do it for Think outside yourself and life will give you more It ain't about what you got, my nigga, but what you brung Yeah, you talk a lot of shit but nigga what you've done I know the one I wanna marry when my game is over I hope she come around to keep the family name going My decade planned out and I'm ahead of niggas Success is earned when the hustle is imbedded in you I never told the next man I was better than you I let my ceiling be a floor just to elevate you I gave more money than I saved nigga Moments I was hungry is when I fed niggas My homie secrets get taken to the grave nigga Acted out and even so, I still forgave niggas Ran through life and all the obstacles that came with it Another day, another dollar I just change with it All my niggas is trappers, doctors and fathers And I put this on my father, you can ask who working harder I'm focused on my life and what I'm meant to be A nigga that inspired you to leave a legacy Life ain't what you do but who you do it for Think outside yourself and life will give you more It ain't about what you got, my nigga, but what you brung Yeah, you talk a lot of shit but nigga what you've done
