Things gone get tough, that's the way it go
All of this pain got me learning, learning
Folks on my heart that I make it for
Hoping that I take my turn and earn it
Ages flowing, still I look forward
To the day we become what we're thinking of
And just like my outlook I'm staying up
Uh huh
Lost a lot of people that were close to me
Either on their own or unwillingly in death
Pointed out what really means the most to me
My thoughts seem dark cause I'm thinking in depth
This that Alien Zone
Can't breathe like water or space
Mainly it's both, I know it ain't safe
I go with the flow, still quoting my prayers
Hoping my sol give float to my heirs
Keep ya head up
We don't bow, had ruts, bad luck, down bad, dead broke
Instead of giving in and gave up, it was long nights, wide eyed
Yea man, you know we stayed up
Fed up, though the hunger led us
Going for the green like lettuce
Doing what they never let us
I won't let up, I am king, form a new regime
While I'm losing things, never to Reckless
You know that them
Things gone get tough, that's the way it go
All of this pain got me learning, learning
Folks on my heart that I make it for
Hoping that I take my turn and earn it
Phases flowing, still I look forward
To the day we become what we're thinking of
And just like my outlook I'm staying up
Things gone get tough, that's the way it go
All of this pain got me learning, learning
Folks on my heart that I make it for
Hoping that I take my turn and earn it
Ages flowing, still I look forward
To the day we become what we're thinking of
And just like my outlook I'm staying up
Uh huh
If you're showing me we is not on the same track
Then I'm sorry you must get your roll on
Know you can't come around when I'm paid
Because when I was down you didn't tell me to hold on
See these basic lil shones want a youngin
With no self respect and flavor like a snowcone
But I'm better than ever, I had to get right with myself
So I can't say that you're wrong
Made a change for the betterment
Had a lot of good wins, where my letterman
If he don't know to knock, then don't let him in
If they told on you once, they gone tell again
I roll with my bros when I'm stepping in
We to fly in this place like a pelican
Put it on, I be fresh like some peppermint
Me and them not the same, it's a difference
Yea my pain in the mic was my starter kit
Switch it up, got to see how my pivot hit
Man, my songs got you hooked, do you need a fix
Oh, you want something basic, well this ain't it
I got great with my craft like I got the hitch
Oh, you want me to crash? Well, I'm out the mix
Got to know when it's time for the politics
Watch them demons, they lurking inside the mix
Hey
Things gone get tough, that's the way it go
All of this pain got me learning, learning
Folks on my heart that I make it for
Hoping that I take my turn and earn it
Ages flowing, still I look forward
To the day we become what we're thinking of
And just like my outlook I'm staying up
Uh huh
