No Shortcuts

(Intro)
Jaw
More deep shit
Jaw

(Verse 1)
I put my life on a piece of paper (yeah)
I gotta lotta shit to settle when I meet my maker (for real)
I’m up at five in the morning when you still tryna wake up
Too many owing me money and never fucking pay up
What you gone do about it, suckers ain’t got no morals
One of my beautiful neighbors saying she praying for us
Bless her heart but you’ll never catch me with folded hands
Unless I’m saying thank you to one of my golden fans
I lost faith in all religion, there’s just good and evil
You either evil or you good, I like to keep it peaceful (yeah)
Deceiving innocent people should really be illegal (yaw)
He had to try all the drugs, He couldn’t skip the needle
Some of my best friends never learned to cop in life
Stuck in their head, getting followed by their Poltergeist
Instead of figuring out, they rather roll the dice
I hope they know what they doing, I hope they know the price (I hope they know)

(Chorus)
The truth is hard to find
The fake is plain to see (yeah)
I tried to fall in line (I tried man)
But that just ain’t for me (that ain’t me)
They all act like they care (haaa)
But they don’t care bout me (they don’t care man)
Life keeps telling me
Listen carefully

(Verse 2)
You want the nicest watch
I’m tryna fight for the people who got the slightest shot
I got a war of my own, I’m fighting writers block (yaw)
Another mountain to climb, climbing the highest rocks
I gotta write a lot, I got no time to stop (nah)
I’m tryna paint you a picture with every rhyme I got (oh yeah)
And I’m set for the race
I’m aware on my way I might break like a vase
Fell in love with my dreams, I’m in love with the chase
Lost my faith in the world, look at us, human race
We a waste, always tryna look for those shortcuts
The people running this thang ain’t giving no fucks
Ain’t no fucking peeking in when the door shuts (nah)
We keep getting fucked up, they get more bucks (yeah)
If you ever need a push let the song play
Rome wasn’t build in a day, I go the long way (I go the long way)

(Chorus)
The truth is hard to find (so hard)
The fake is plain to see (It’s plain to see man)
I tried to fall in line (haa)
But that just ain’t for me (nah)
They all act like they care (stop acting like you care)
But they don’t care bout me (they don’t care man)
Life keeps telling me (jaw)
Listen carefully

(Outro)
Ain’t no shortcuts (listen)
Ain’t no shortcuts
Ain’t no shortcuts
Ain’t no shortcuts
Ain’t no shortcuts
Ain’t no shortcuts
Ain’t no shortcuts
Ain’t no shortcuts
