Hook:

I stuck to the code man I honored it

I got accepted to colleges

But they do not have all the knowledges

To get you through life and its obstacles

They never told me about going broke

They never taught me to stay afloat

They never taught me to make it work

They never taught me to put in work

Verse 1:

I had to get that shit on my own

Get to that cheddar that provolone

All of them goals you stay focused on

Never lose sight of what's going on

Always take note of what's going wrong

Before that shit just go on and on

It's off the hook that's a cordless phone

That's off my chest like its Mardi Gras

I know the time don't need Audemars

If it don't work then we order more

You gotta know its an art to war

Check the mirrors when you park the car

You don't know if niggas watching ya

They in the windows with binoculars

Trying to plot on how they stopping ya

Cause they not liking when you're popular

Hook:

I stuck to the code man I honored it

They never taught me to put in work

Verse 2:

I had to learn that shit by myself

I had to focus on fam and health

I had to focus on gaining wealth

Being broke you don't know how it felt

Maxing out the credit card

If I use my debit card

Call it and report it fraud

Every night I prayed to God

Hoping that he came through

I hope I got some change too

I felt the hunger pains too

It's like the Hunger Games 2

Survival of the fittest

All this shit I lived

I stayed on my pivot

I knew I had to get it

Hook:

I stuck to the code man I honored it

I got accepted to colleges

But they do not have all the knowledges

To get you through life and its obstacles

They never taught me about going broke

They never taught me to stay afloat

They never taught me to make it work

They never taught me to put in work

Verse 3:

I had to show myself how to do it

I was out there had to bust maneuvers

I couldn't stay on that bus and do it

So I saved up for my fucking Buick

I learned the game I'm a A Plus student

I couldn't be out here looking foolish

I had to make them tracks going stupid

I had to watch and then learn the blueprint

Hook:

I stuck to the code man I honored it

I got accepted to colleges

But they do not have all the knowledges

To get you through life and its obstacles

They never taught me about going broke

They never taught me to put in work

Verse 4:

I had to stay on my ten toes

I had to switch up the tempo

I raised the bar this ain't limbo

I had them hits just like Kimbo

I had to strengthen my mental

I stayed on point sharpened pencils

Y'all don't say shit instrumentals

All y'all boys sweet like some Mentos

Gotta get it I can't wait a minute

When you go broke you see paper different

Spend all that shit you can't take it with ya

They not your friends they won't make it with ya

I got your back I'll make us richer

Niggas got priors I ain't talking Richard

You know me I see the bigger picture

I stuck to the code I ride for my niggas

They never taught me to put in work
