of fame

from all of yall that changed

open ya eyes its a hustlas song, god forgive if this hustla's wrong


[verse 2]
its bigger things, so we pose a notion, strivin to be numba 1 till i overdose

i speak it now with it on my tounge or the trought, youngest son runnin from
older quotes
thou shall not sin, thou shall not steal, thou shall not kill, thou shall not

turn ya back on those in need
i try ta flip but the government switch keeps me at his chosen speed, im just a
rose in weeds

and i rolls with reasons ta stay on this road i lead, till i leave with what i
sold, my, soul and deeds
leave my son with the sum in what i sold in deeds.....i foldin yo...probly

headed for the pin like bowlin balls
kept it directed at the pen and wrote it for yall..



*HOOK*
Its what hustlas do and you aint did it till a hustla do
