Harry Fraud gon' hold me down, don't take much to get me right (right)
Harry Fraud gon' hold me down as soon as that beat loop

Harry Fraud gon' hold me down, don't take much to get me right
Every loss I ever took, I shook it off, got back to life (I shook it)
Every time we ever fell, we stood up and seen the light (the light)
Every time the plug would front, and took too long, we tweaked the price (we tweaked it)
Every obstacle I faced just made me great
Arguments before my classes every mornin' made me late (f*ck)
Everybody born with love inside they blood would make 'em hate me
No time to waste, I got two daughters growin' rapid 
But they straight, what more to ask for? (What more?)
Walked right through the front and kill you
Where I'm from, no back door (boom)
Before the .40s clapped off put Spaldings on the backboard
Wired jaws from punches, everybody don't react the same
Like ten years in the game, I realize these niggas rap the same (all of 'em)
Product of my environment, honestly, I got that to blame
Before the rap and fame, we was baggin' haze up, don't ask my name
Interrogations had niggas nervous, now they don't act the same
Same day, ain't much change, call me, my jack the same

Took a million losses just to feel a win (just to feel it)
Woke up on a yacht, we in Barbados just to feel a wind
Don't never trust a thief (never), that nigga stole, he'll probably steal again
Chasin' that first high, knowin' that's somethin' she won't feel again (she know it)
Took a million losses just to feel a win (took a million)
Woke up on a yacht, we in Barbados just to feel a wind (uh, uh)
Never trust a thief, that nigga stole, he'll probably steal again (I know it)
Chasin' that first high, knowin' that's somethin' (woo) he won't feel again (let's go)

They say pressure bust pipes, and I ain't leaked yet (not at all)
A couple times, I extended arms and they ain't reach back (man, f*ck 'em)
Time is tickin', gotta thank God for each breath (time tickin')
I'm tryna make it last forever like I'm Keith Sweat (let's go)
I'm gettin' texts about some shit I hadn't peeped yet (leave me alone, nigga)
Niggas still playin' checkers, one day they'll see it's chess
Niggas still do the most, we did more and needed less (we needed less, word)
Yeah, reportin' live from the trenches (woah)
Jumpin' over fences, thuggin' since we was infants (young)
They shot him, he didn't even have no gun (bah), he was defenseless (bah, woo)
Anytime the shots rang (what?), we was pointin' entrance (yeah)
I seen my brody make his mother salary by the benches (facts)
Grew up with the misfits (misfits), blew hundreds, Crip shit (Loc)
Lightin' big tree (woo) like Rockefeller durin' Christmas (ha)
You know I had this vision (yeah) since bro was in Audrey kitchen
With the work out and he wasn't doin' fitness (ooh)
Add it up

Took a million losses just to feel a win (just to feel it)
Woke up on a yacht, we in Barbados just to feel a wind
Don't never trust a thief (never), that nigga stole, he'll probably steal again
Chasin' that first high, knowin' that's somethin' she won't feel again (she know it)
Took a million losses just to feel a win (took a million)
Woke up on a yacht, we in Barbados just to feel a wind (uh, uh)
Never trust a thief, that nigga stole, he'll probably steal again (I know it)
Chasin' that first high, knowin' that's somethin' (woo) he won't feel again (he know it)

I don't know why I fell for you
