Victories And Losses

You got that like I said, ayy
We gon' do the lil' cheap-ass
Layup one more time

Making shit for me and not for them
Spent my life thinkin' 'bout
What they gonna spend
Only thing I trust the hair that's
Standing up on my skin
I don't plan to lose again
Not if they gonna win
Better days ahead, if not here
They're not far
Just to get a rapid jet without a getaway car
Some will say that Ev' been going
Fuckin' dummy with the bars making money
Runnin' from a run-in with the law
Drive slow, homie, like my son is in the car
My summers as a kid in Brooklyn
Made me to a star there's so many
I'd be rich if every pеnny was a flaw
(What?)
Victories and losses, and my city was a draw
And still am
Still keep in touch with William
Beatin' up thеse pads 'til my
Hands'll clutch a million
And God's watching
Know I did it for no paper
So when it comes, this moment, I'ma savor

What kind of diamond pressure make?
It's death at stake here if you hesitatin'
I'm weatherin' and it been rainin'
On my head of late
Blanket statements over ways that I
Have yet to take
Wind blowing, my fire reign, brimstoning
Righteous like the gemstone and silent like a
Lymph node when the sickness in us
The devil sent a million passages
Repenting for it
I really question what we in this for
They say a lot, I wish they meant it more
Just for thrills, I don't get
Caught in the pill, but I forget it more
Casting judgment
You gon' get all you been fishing for
Burning bridges, somethin' forever haunt me
And dreams I'm dreaming hard to live
In 'cause they extra lofty
Uh, I never had a chance
I lose my life to seek a new one, look
We moving through the dance
Expectations of me, blew 'em in advance
I confuse you every time I'm due the chance
Nothin' neutral (It's nothin' neutral)

Making shit for me and not for them
Enjoy the day thinkin' not how
The day gon' end you got that
Like I said, ayy
We gon' do the lil' cheap-ass
Layup one more time
'Cause it's better to have money
And not to need it
Than to need it and not to have it
