every time they do it to me
can't allow the past to restrict me
bet this time around they won't skip me
won't hesitate not even for a second
the hustle has become an obsession
i'm on the frontlines with my weapon
after telling everybody i wouldn't do it again
i kinda feel like i let my people down
i got's to pick myself up
when i heard this beat and hook
all i could say was: ahh man shit gotta change
even get it right and take one to the brain
but y'all knew the pain that i went through daily
tryna stay sane through the rain
but this time i'm outta control
i'm the last hope for the team
i'm the reason why some niggas
these cats know what's good
i ain't hoping that they don't
can't allow the past to restrict me
bet this time around they won't skip me
won't hesitate not even for a second
the hustle has become an obsession
i'm on the frontlines with my weapon
i ain't playing with this shit
and y'all niggas knew the score
first album dropped in may
over platinum in one year like
only nigga who's first 5 albums debut at number 1
and you wonder why i call you son
but the hardest part of it all
is to climb a slippery wall and
break down and call up to god
i know you ain't gonn' let me go now! brought me too far
showed me i was as a star
i'mma thank you for it all
the blessings and the curses
there's a lesson in the verses
can't allow the past to restrict me
bet this time around they won't skip me
won't hesitate not even for a second
the hustle has become an obsession
i'm on the frontlines with my weapon
yeah of course it bothers me
the person the media portrays me to
