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
