[C-Mob - I'd Rather Not lyrics]
See I'd rather not be out on the block
I'd rather find a legal way for
Me to make my guap see, I'm too damn old to
Be running from the cops
I'll hustle if I have to
If I don't then imma stop
Yeah, some really bad cards is
What they hand me
So I do what I gotta to feed my family
But y'all got trying to be
A thug confused with manly
So can we be just a little bit smarter
Understand me
I don't want my kids growing up
With daddy behind prison bars
And having all visit's of him
Led by prison guards
Every day there's too many
Men and women charged
Giving hard time for the crime from trying
To be out here living large
Y'all know they got the system fucked
They're trying to hold you down
Not lift you up
And they make it really hard just to
Grip a buck so they can pick
You up for serving shit that clucks and
I don't wanna get caught up
So I had to change up my decisions
Y'all know they're trying to make money by
Filling up all these private prisons
You gotta handle your shit better
Doesn't mean that you can't get cheddar
Get your mind grid for the lying light
Grind time and then you can
Be a real grip getter
Instead of one more Deebo checking
Off money on plenty hoes
And his main focus in life
Is riding around on 24s
See I'd rather not be out on the block
I'd rather find a legal way for
Me to make my guap see, I'm too damn old to
Be running from the cops
I'll hustle if I have to
If I don't then imma stop
Do you really wanna sell
Dope in your thirties?
You're gonna fail bro, it ain't sturdy
Plus you got the mindset of a teenager
Trying to tell folks that you're dirty
Quit bragging over dumb shit
Trying to look hard then wonder
Why you got caught up
People'll kick the door, then make
You hit the floor
Empty the clip then go for your product
See if something comes up and
You need to make money
Just flip a little bit till you get right
You don't wanna get your greed get
The best of you, stay lowkey
Man you gotta keep the shit tight
Here's a insight, some people say
You're doing too good, they
Wanna take you out the detour
To the fakest route
And if they can't they'll snitch that
Shit you gotta think about
Think about your business
Is this a way you think
You're gonna get rich?
Can everything you worked for come to a halt
With the testimony of a single witness
Your next lick, invest it
Fuck fresh kicks and your next whip
Make a conscious maneuver to an entrepreneur
Respected when you exit
See I'm not trying to knock the hustle
We've all done dirt
And I know that it's hard to make it
You gotta be smart to make it
You can't do shit if you end up incarcerated
Gotta think about the long game
Not the short game
Focus on the right path and plot
If the risk outweighs the
Reward, then fuck it, i'd rather not
See I'd rather not be out on the block
I'd rather find a legal way for
Me to make my guap see, I'm too damn old to
Be running from the cops
I'll hustle if I have to
If I don't then imma stop
I'd rather find a legal way for
Me to make my guap see, I'm too damn old to
Be running from the cops
I'll hustle if I have to
If I don't then imma stop
Yeah, some really bad cards is
