The Manuscript

Ayo yup, yup, yup

Ayo need it all and I ain't takin'
No less when I'm slidin' through
If they told you that I ain't about a check
They lied to you started at the bottom
Now the shit I'm on phenomenal
Came a long way from the
Blue cops and hot pursuit
Got in trouble a lot
Locked for being wild and loose
Then I grew, now they love
The style all around, who knew?
(Who knew?) i make it do what it do
I was in the dark, now I'm
Gettin closer to the light
Improving the view (Shinin')
You gotta be hands on to understand this shit
(Uh, huh) like a braille page
I been stickin' to the manuscript (Woo)
The bitches get turned off when ya shit is on
I really am what I spit in songs (Facts)
Niggas be actin like they really want
Smoke 'til they hit the bong
Then they take a toke
Burn they throat, choke, then they gone
(Brap) what we on is far beyond you pions
I glow like neon, kill everything I be on

I hustle, ain't nothing coming free
I don't even wanna talk if you
Niggas ain't bringing dollars my way
I go and get it now
So why the fuck should I wait?
My mind is focused on this money I make

Ayo my nigga, you should know
It's never all love, don't be naive
Everything come with a price
So all of mine is something I need
I bang for my belief like Brother Saeed
RIP to all my niggas that died
Livin' life at high speed
The game's in my veins like fluid out the IV
But I was born with it, it's natural
Word to mommy (Uh, huh)
I'm shinin' cause the god inside me
I don't look up to the sky for guidance
(Nah)
My eyes ain't blinded by the trick knowledge
Caught a case, got kicked out
I ain't skip college
But got my intellect from dark
Deals for dirty dollars
Wise writers and ghetto survivors (Uh, huh)
Got it out the mud, I'm my own provider
When Muggs planned to multiply the
Pot and divide up she love me cause before I
Ever slid inside her body
Left her mind fucked she mine
She give me blind trust to
The end of the road
Mind, body in control of that soul, nigga

I hustle, ain't nothing coming free
I don't even wanna talk if you
Niggas ain't bringing dollars my way
I go and get it now so
Why the fuck should I wait?
My mind is focused on this money I make
