don't get fooled by this smile man I had to be okay/when you ask me how I'm doing I don't know what I should say/the fact that I made it I got to say thanks/the games we was playing was more than some pranks running in the cornerstore like trying to rob a bank/I got 325 and them n****** know my face/ain't even pressed charges cuz they were selling weight/and nice snitching cuz that was 08/the arabs been gone before I caught my case/but everything changed when I saw my son's face/don't even want to trap no more I'm living life straight/the way a n***** skate I can do a figure eight//but the ice too thin and I ain't trying to swim/so I give it to you raw word to soldier slim with the birdies in the bin like it's above the rim you don't have to say it I made myself proud real individuals don't go with the crowd/I'm a fly away I ain't staying on the ground so if you looking for me you can find me in the class/ School of hard knocks I had learned a lesson better be prepared better count your blessings everything changed right around 9/11 the cameras went up and surveillance was accepted they started typing calls and watching text message/but even back then it was ways to finesse it/so we used to get the pack and try to make a double/but now it's just a hassle and it ain't worth the trouble/you should try stock try to see what's on the bubble/but get yourself some property cuz that's the new hustle/no matter what you do just don't do nothing/when you raised by the wolves you can tell who's bluffing/Wayne got to speak I don't need no discussion just leave me alone don't want my peace interrupted/don't want to talk politics unless it's about corruption
