Fashawn - I Need To Know lyrics

Dreaming, plotting on my arrival
But reality bites
My main focus is survival at
This time of my life
Swear I'm my own worse rival
Even grab the Henny every
Time I'm feeling bottled
How come I ain't hit the lotto
At least come up on a scheme?
Least I ain't doing time, could be worse
Keep in mind they say I'm doing fine, but
A nigga need cream, no
Choice but to grind
Time I'mma gather up the team
I'm tired of seeing niggas mope around
I'm hungry so I hold it down
Money on my mind so I'm gritting
Gotta get it early 'bout my hustle game
Tryna scrape up some change
You can hate it or love it
But this is how I'm living, nigga

If I die tonight, would you celebrate my life
Or just let a brother pass? I need to know
Would I be forgotten or would
You hold me down?
Sorry but I gotta ask, I need to know

In life, gotta stay on your toes
Stay tight with the fam
Keep an eye on your foes
We live in a cold world
It's hard to trust a soul
So I stay on the low, sucka free how I roll
Allergic to these hoes
Keep my dick in my jeans
Away from them gold diggers
Gotta stick with my queens
Might think it's gold just
Because how I gleam
But, it's just an illusion, yeah
A bunch of confusion
It's hard to be humble when
Your stomach is growling
While you juggling mountains and
You just wanna drop
Then you reach deep inside and
You grab that intuition
All them late nights wishing and
Hoping the pain stop but

Death is only a part of life
I don't know why you scared
Shit you better get prepared for the reaper
I'd rather know he coming to get
Me before he creep up
Go out with a bang take my last hit of reefer
Kiss my momma on the cheek, tell my niggas
"I'll see ya up in Heaven
Hold it down 'til we meet up"
Again, I'll be somewhere in the
Clouds with my feet up
Going bar for bar with Pac
Laughing with Jesus
Away from the struggling
The drama and the grieving
At last I can finally be at peace
Far away from them heaters who
Try to bring me down
All the trial and tribulations
Of the streets, i'm finally free
