[Verse]
Every time ya head down
Life run by
Gotta keep ya head up
Hands out
Catch the highs
No handouts
Unless it’s from the 9
That’s for niggas that be hating
But they life on standby
Don’t do shit know shit
But somehow got pride
Gotta own shit I sown shit
I grow tithes
(Uh) Don’t believe them guys
You can do it
It’s just movement
How they don’t want you alive?
Them ain’t yo boyz
They overjoyed
When you down
If they ain’t on top
They think you should stick around
How that sound?
How that sound
Rather lounge around
Downtown party hounds
Weed smoke love it loud
Never found another route
To get up out
How that sound?
[Refrain]
Don’t hate I’m just the messengеr
You should listen when I’m telling ya
[Chorus]
I see it on thе daily
Niggas don’t want you to win
It ain’t the ones don’t know ya
It’s the ones thats within
It’s the ones that’ll show ya
How to get ya money spent
It’s the one that done told ya
And then fold ya for a bitch
Yeah
Niggas don’t want you to win
It ain’t the ones don’t know ya
It’s the ones thats within
It’s the ones that’ll show ya
How to get ya money spent
It’s the one that done told ya
And then fold ya for a bitch
(Bridge)
Love yourself
Love the progress
With due respect
You ain’t there yet
But you gon get there
Once upon a time was a nigga that tried
He gon’ grind
Told his niggas one day he wanna shine
They said “ight
Whatever nigga”
Paid him no mind
He got to work
For the next year
Success on his line
Back-to-back calls
He can barely reply it
The demand too strong he can barely supply it
His niggas watched it all
Smiling
But the hate was hiding
He no Joe
But they found that nigga patronizing
Like they want more but ain’t put the work behind it
He was rolling solo
Should’ve kept his hip surrounded
Cause his niggas set him up
Ain’t no way around it
Everywhere he go
Know his location and down to pounce him
Long story short
Even with the talent
Took his life because of malice (shit)
[Refrain]
Don’t hate I’m just the messenger
You should listen when I’m telling ya
[Chorus]
I see it on the daily
Niggas don’t want you to win
It ain’t the ones don’t know ya
It’s the ones thats within
It’s the ones that’ll show ya
How to get ya money spent
It’s the one that done told ya
And then fold ya for a bitch
Niggas don’t want you to win
It ain’t the ones don’t know ya
It’s the ones thats within
