[Intro]
[Verse 1: CxRis]
I'm in a room and I had to turn the lights out
Letting secrets enter my body I usually don't speak about
Let it leak out like a hot track
Or the blood that's being spilled when I gotta' send these shots back
Not that out on the table about these feelings as it may seem
And I try to daydream but it keeps me up at night
Working harder then I ever did my flow is turning tight
Had to get it right, then people will wanna' be you
They get starstruck to get the chance to see you
I'm doing well, well you could say that I never laid back
I worked hard and you can say that, I'm getting paid man
But this money ain't the only thing I'm paid with
Made sacrifices without choice that have changed me
Even if it's change it will help you grow
Everything's coming out of pocket to promote my shows
For anybody with a dream here's one thing you gotta' know
Keep searching for a "YES" until you stop getting "No's"
[Hook: CxRis]
We all are, blind to what, you can do until you show us
So grow nuts, and show up, prove you're worth more then a "Good Luck"
Prove you're worth more then a "Good Luck" (x2)
More then a good luck (x2)
More then a (x4)
[Verse 2: Smoove]
Overnight grinds in the studio
The only thing that counts my nigga is how the story's told
Late nights got a blunt and patron with me
For the niggas that got issues, got the 45 on me
Trips to Japan, overseas, now they love me
Time tick, Money Gang, ain't shit changed homie
You know Smoove keep it way OG
A circle of bosses, I roll with my Clique
22 years old, ripping down stages
Got GAME and Juice, yo the big homies raised me
That's a blessing in this industry that's full of snakes
No major deal or advance but I still ate!
Whatever. Keep it gangster 'till my death day
Dodging haters and erasing fakes
Revive in the west coast, put on for my city's sake
I hustle, I'm the living testimony. Yo I call it faith
[Hook: CxRis]
We all are, blind to what, you can do until you show us
So grow nuts, and show up, prove you're worth more then a "Good Luck"
Prove you're worth more then a "Good Luck" (x2)
More then a good luck (x2)
More then a (x4)
[Verse 3:CxRis]
Drop jaws like "WOW"
Let them see you're really working hard
Saving money for LA to hustle cd's on the boulevard
Hollywood of course, I really am a boss, my soul was never lost
You can hear it in the message that's encrypted
I encourage haters to get up here and listen
The only reason you hate is cuz' you can't understand what I'm spittin
I'm getting so deep intellectually you won't help but relate to me
And I'm feeling a change in me that's been hitting me lately
What happened to the people that hated me?
What happened to the homies that changed and went different ways then me?
I would tell you you're lame but I won't talk down on you're name
We just stopped kickin it for no reason man
Take it easy man, it's a spiritual battlefield
And I'm here for you when I blow up, i'll help you get out of there
Cuz' life sometimes has us questioning reality while we indulge in different drugs
Forget about it all and see
When the pain fades away it finally means you're grown
Don't take shit from anybody, do it on my own
So don't tell me "Good Luck" just listen to the song
And when they book me for a show I hope you come along!
Cuz' I've been working 6 years to get my raps right
Hit you with lines, think I did coke in the past life?
Pops said "stop talking about coke in your rap lines"
I say "how else can I explain the rush of the fast life"?
[Hook: CxRis]
We all are, blind to what, you can do until you show us
So grow nuts, and show up, prove you're worth more then a "Good Luck"
Prove you're worth more then a "Good Luck" (x2)
More then a good luck (x2)
More then a (x4)
