Before and After - Intellectual

[Intro]

Feelin' better than ever before

(DTdaKidd)

(Beat those drums)

[Verse 1]

I won't let them jealous niggas trip me out the streets 'cause I got mouths to feed

I had to go get this money, no one passed it down to me

This shit wasn't inherited, buddy, I had to scrap for it

Never been to college, still step on you like a frat boy

I know I said it before, I'll say it again

If I'm not bein' paid for my time, I won't attend

If me and you don't see eye to eye, I won't pretend

My nigga, I lost my brother, fuck I care 'bout a friend?

Fuck I carе what you think of me? You can't walk in my past

Nigga, you would've folded if еver given the chance

[Chorus]

And you know it

I grab a pad and I write all my ache and pains in these poems

Every time I have a child, I feel like I been reborn

And every time I see they smiles, I feel the spark to keep goin'

You overstep again, my objective to seek and destroy

Without a hint of remorse, treat the bank like a resort

How I'm feelin'? I'm feelin' better than ever before

Feelin' better than ever before

[Verse 2]

I built it up and it broke my heart when we tore it down

People I loved in my past, we not even cordial now

That's just life, live and learn, as far as I'm concerned

We can blow away the ashes from them bridges I have burned

If you with me, then you know I'm stickin' with you, standin' firm

And I'll never turn my back, even when there's nowhere left to turn

And all I ever wanted was all the things I've earned

I'm not lookin' for no favors, I'm not dodgin' the hard work

I'm gon' make it where I'm headed, I don't care who started first

If you make it there before me, then I got what I deserve

And I'm grateful too, I don't carry no hate for you

Even if we ain't rockin', I'm still proud to see a nigga made it through

I'm shinin' brighter a fog light, when the sack hit, we up all night

We whip it 'til it rock up, that was our definition of off-white

I plan to stand back up three times if a nigga fall twice

And so the fuck what? They left me behind, but I'm alright

I knew nothin' would be easy, nothin' come easy 'cause we had a hard life

Me and you are not the same, I'm a rare build, I'm a different archetype

[Chorus]

And you know it

I grab a pad and I write all my ache and pains in these poems

Every time I have a child, I feel like I been reborn

Every time I see they smiles, I feel the spark to keep goin'

You overstep again, my objective to seek and destroy

Without a hint of remorse, treat the bank like a resort

How I'm feelin'? I'm feelin' better than ever before

[Outro]

Long live Pif

Feelin' better than ever before

(DTdaKidd)

(Beat those drums)

Feelin' better than ever before
