A Most Violent Year

"I have nothing, and somehow you ended up
With everything you wanted"
"It wasn't meant to be"
"what is that supposed to mean?"
"I know what you wanted, I know
But you have to forget that now"

Niggas smile in my face like I don't know
And can't see the doubt in their eyes
'Til I'm waitin' in their crib
With they kids shoutin' "Surprise!"
You keep a heart full of hatred
And plus a mouth full of lies (Why's that?)
Most niggas only be showin'
Out for they pride (Is that so?)
Most family only be showin' out when you die
The funny thing about life is
Nobody gets out alive, huh
(Damn)
You gotta be feelin' out for the vibes
They won't show us how to live
Only teach us how to survive
Nеver take it personal (Nah)
I wеnt from "Nah
You not versatile" to "Let me
Get a verse from you"
Cut these niggas off, I'm so surgical
The nerve of you i don't wanna murder you
But talkin' sideways'll get you vertical
I shoot game winners from half court
I'm Jack Frost the Feds came in with the
Task force and attack dogs (Let's go)
You know you dyin' when the mask off
The shottie take half off
Ya body is flyin' without a passport
Life's a test, take a crash course (yeah)
Think about it
You can ruin ya future 'cause
Of your past thoughts (Real shit)
You Ricky Bobby with the cast off, poor liars
All bias
Runnin' on tracks thinkin' you all fire
(Ha ha ha) a most violent year
(yeah) , violent as any (Word)
But hindsight is always 20
20 (It's always 20 20)
Violent as any but hindsight is always 20
20 "I'm only interested in this company
Growing, and when it isn't
It's not very funny to me at all
These people work very hard for their money
And these other guys are ripping them off
Treating 'em poorly because they don't know
So when you look them in the eye
You have to believe that we
Are better and we are
But you will never do anything
As hard as staring
Someone straight in the eye
And telling the truth"
