Lucky Me

How can you fairly assess something from the outside looking in?

There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong, know what i mean?

How can a mo'fucker go around and hate a nigga

He never even met, he don't even know and shit?

I think this rap shit is all beef

Y'all don't even know every day I'm living with stress

Got up out the streets you think a nigga could rest

Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless

I'm on the dance floor, hot-ass vest

You think I'm freaking these chicks, right?

I try not to brush against they chest

You get a lawsuit for shit like that, I feel trapped

Swear to everything when I leave this earth

It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirt

You could try me fucka but when I squeeze it hurts, fine

We'll lose two lives, yours and mines

Gimme any amount of time don't let Mrs. Carter grieve

At the funeral parlor dripping tears on my sleeve

Told the judge didn't budge it was him or me

And I ain't trying to be hard but I'm guilty as charged

Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God

And pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars, lucky me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

I hate all girls with ulterior motives

That's why I'm twenty plus years old, no sons, no daughters

Hate putting my life in the hands of fake promoters

Hear the hate in my voice, right? I hate that you noticed

Niggas wanna strip you to the bone for shit you own

Hate a nigga like that, faggot, get your own

Hate that I can't roam the street without the clip and chrome

Knowing one day I'ma have to flip, c'mon

You know the shit don't stop 'til the Cris' don't pop

And you have to kill a nigga and your wrist don't lock

I'm trapped, the whole world's against me in fact

But ain't no turning back, bring it on

Hate the price of fame 'cause it cost too much

Can I live without y'all niggas saying I floss too much?

Hate the way you make this hate flow all through us

Steady looking for flaws through us, lucky me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

Ever since I was 4 years old I been told, everything that glitters ain't gold (you only know what you see)

And now that I've arrived

I see those truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold (you don't understand what it takes to be me)

And niggas see you in the street, pretend to be friendly

But I know any type of success breeds envy

I know in the back of your mind you're conjuring ways to hem me

Leave my friends in a circle pouring out Henny

But G's is heaven bound so how I'm gon' receive

Anything y'all pour to the ground next time throw it up

And ain't nothing changed so even in my afterlife I show it up

Don't grieve for me, my art remains

Like a dart from the speaker to your heart

Spiritually through the portal now my words is immortal

Don't plan to leave without a fight, I plant a seed I give life

Though I can't see past the girl's greed to call her wife

Next time you're thinking heist better be precise

'Cause I'm fully prepared, one of us is gon' leave here

I have no regrets even though I won't see grow

My godson Boogie, Sonny and Remo, lucky me

I been told, since I was 4 years old everything that glitters ain't gold (you only know what you see)

And now that I've arrived

I see those truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold (you don't understand what it takes to be me)

Since I was 4 years old

I been told, everything that glitters ain't gold (you only know what you see)

And now that I've arrived

I see those truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold (you don't understand what it takes to be me)

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be
