Dark places that I won’t go again
Hard days they got me goin in
I showed them love but that’s emotion I won’t show again
They talking shit cause they hoping that I will notice it
But he a b*tch so he going to whatever b*tches do
Want no emotions I’m just focused on the physical
And I ain't tryna let a p*ssy n**** take my life
You could copy what I do but we goin never be alike
And trust me that is not a brag
I’m swerving that’s two hunnid on the dash
Ask me where I’m going heading to the cash
And lord if it’s my time to go then please don’t make it fast
I still gotta give my momma the white picket with the grass
All these demons in my past man i swear they love to haunt a n****
And all the times I opened up made me a guarded n****
My last b*tch turn me Into a cold hearted n****
But we never quitting cause we finish what we started n****
Trying get my groove on
Put my crew on
Got a new b*tch I’m tryna to bust a move on
I remember cold nights sleeping on the futon
Now I’m all about my bread n**** like a crouton

All those hard days gave us all this motivation
We ain’t have a thing so we had to go and take it
To much of a real one to ever go and fake it
How we end up in the penthouse when we started in the basement

All those hard days gave us all this motivation
We ain’t have a thing so we had to go and take it
To much of a real one to ever go and fake it
How we end up in the penthouse when we started in the basement

All I ever did was dream
And never let a b*tch get in between
Of what I’m doing with my n****’s and the team
Father was a dealer, grandmother was a fiend
Lead my momma to get pregnant at the age of fifthteen
All I did was dream
And we was riding dirty never clean
Just in case an opp would pull up on the scene
Never chasing p*ssy only ever chase the green
Don’t believe it when they speak it cause they never what they seem
They be lying to your face
They be lying to your face
They going say it’s all love when I know these n****’s hate
If you ever did me wrong then it’s over no debate
We going put you under ground in a casket where you lay
They be lying to your face, they be lying to your face
We going walk him down and we’ll never leave a trace
Quick to cut you off cause you easily replaced
Thought the loyalty was there I could see that’s not the case
I could see these n****’s moving different
And I don't do commitment
You been hurt like I been hurt but we go through it different
Broke my heart so many times that I’m just through with b*tches
Ain’t the person that i was girl this the new edition
All these hard days, all these hard days
Sh*t that we was doing I don't even want to say
How I made it threw it only happened by the grace
Now you want to come around p*ssy n**** it’s too late//
