They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you
They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you


They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you
Tryina push my ^!$$%s through this industry
All this %#@! we going through, put my nieces, nephews and my lil' cousins through school

Sound, scanned checks coming in my future plan through
They judging me of interviews, never of the good %#@!
Always pinpointing bad %#@!, $#&@ing critics, hate 'em

Criticizing all the ^!$$%s life, get your own life
Why every time I turn my back a friend grab a knife?
Damn these draws talented, telling me I need some more

Till a ^!$$% OD shaking now I'm on the phone
Thinking about my past life and all the crazy %#@! I did
Devil and Jesus Christ can't go on, do this right


Don't never let 'em get the best of you, best of you
Don't never let 'em get the best of you

Don't never let 'em get the best of you, best of you
Don't never let 'em get the best of you


They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you
They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you


They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you
Words can't alter my ego so bulletproof
Hard in da Paint went double platinum

No Hands went triple platinum
Damn, I do a number, dog, calling me ranker
Treat it like a hood club, standing on a bar top, 30K for a walk in

I say this is life, I remember I couldn't have 30 dollars in my pocket, %#@!
Robbing for some small change, tryina make a big name
In a small town, Riverdale we in this (*##$, man

Only God could judge me
$#&@ what another person gotta say about me, I'm stress free


Don't never let 'em get the best of you, best of you
Don't never let 'em get the best of you
Don't never let 'em get the best of you, best of you

Don't never let 'em get the best of you

They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you

They tell you to be yourself and when you do, they judge you

You see me, man, I started from the mother$#&@ing bottom

Man, I already knew, only thing I was looking was the top
See, I lost 80% of my friends around me, man
Damn near lost my life, you know

RIP my ^!$$% gunned down, man, ain't %#@! gonna stop me, my ^!$$%
