I gotta make it out and move quickly Can't allow the past to restrict me Bet this time around, they won't skip me I am the last hope (the champ!) Won't hesitate not even for a second The hustle has become an obsession I'm on the frontlines with my weapon I am the last hope Damn! I went through it again After telling everybody I wouldn't do it again I kinda feel like I let my people down (yup) But to get them right, I gots to pick myself up (come on) When I heard this beat and hook, it was so raw (uhh) Looked in the mirror, didn't like what I saw (uhh) All I could say was "Ahh man, shit gotta change" (forreal!) Either get it right or take one to the brain (blam!) But y'all know the pain that I went through daily (woooh) Tryna stay sane through the rain, y'all hear me I'm slippin', fallin', can't get up But this time, I'm outta control, I don't give a fuck!
