K-Rino - Something To Lose lyrics
[K-Rino - Something To Lose lyrics]
Grown folks conversation
You’ve got too much on the line
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t waste your time dealing with a
Fool who got something to prove
When you learn to live under them rules
You’ll maneuver like a boss do
Never be corrupted or used
Don’t hang with people who don’t want nothing
No hustle, no drive, won’t ever own nothing
You grew up in the same hood
‘round the same age
You started grinding, now you good
He at the samе stage
Can’t force a grown person
Out thеir playing-games phase
You done read the whole book
They on the same page when you was younger
You used to see him go steal and rob
Called you a square because you went
Out there and got a job
That was your homie, but he blind
He did a little time he thirty-nine
Still got a twenty year old mind
A wise soul ain’t attracted
To the fool’s gold you pay a car note
A mortgage and buying school clothes
So why would you ever jeopardize
The place you in?
People with nothing will provoke and
Try to bait you in
You let ‘em get into your head
All your work is dead
Why would you risk it all
Over what a person said? Check it out
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t waste your time dealing with a
Fool who got something to prove
When you learn to live under them rules
You’ll maneuver like a boss do
Never be corrupted and used (again)
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t make stupid moves that'll have
You ending up on the news
Learn to recognize the troubling clues
When you see 'em coming dip
Never let your foot get up in them shoes
We staying free, ducking
Dodging where the beef be
I gotta make it home
I got people that need me
He talked reckless so you popped
Him at his front door
You doing fifty years but you
Ain’t no punk though see, understand, homie
Once you start to get some things
Folks hating and talking ‘bout you
Don’t hit the same
Ain’t no more getting out of
Character and flipping out
Y’all could be outside all you want
I’m in the house
You got your life together, black
You ain’t the same cat
Now you on lock behind some childishness
Explain that
They say you s’posed to pick your battles
Yeah they told you a fact you got property
All they got is just the clothes on his back
You got a family, you got babies
You done found your place see, birds fly
They don’t slither on the ground with snakes
Yeah, both of y’all might take
A fall tossing them words
The difference is you falling
Off a mountaintop
He falling off of the curb so listen
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t waste your time dealing with a
Fool who got something to prove
When you learn to live under them rules
You’ll maneuver like a boss do
Never be corrupted and used (again)
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t make stupid moves that'll have
You ending up on the news
Learn to recognize the troubling clues
When you see 'em coming dip
Never let your foot get up in them shoes
Y’all be talking loyalty and how
You mob for your crew
But what you didn’t learn to do
Is to be loyal to you
Them your partner drugs
Why you tryna test your fate?
Ain’t nothing gangster ‘bout taking
Somebody else’s case right or wrong
It’s smarter to do your thing alone
Because if he really a soldier
He gon’ claim his own
And when you know the game
You never hesitate to give it
‘cause by the time you learn the lesson
It’s too late to live it
Too many people got dropped that
Coulda talked it out
Some road rage and getting popped
Over a parking spot
You say they in the hood hating on you
I don’t care you in your purpose
Why the hell you even ‘round there?
They're mad at you because you straight
And they ain’t made a dime
A basic thinker ain’t in
Line with elevated minds
And that don’t mean that you forgot
The hood and turned your back
You only turned your back on
Them crash dummy acts i’m speaking facts so
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t waste your time dealing with a
Fool who got something to prove
When you learn to live under them rules
You’ll maneuver like a boss do
Never be corrupted and used (again)
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t make stupid moves that'll have
You ending up on the news
Learn to recognize the troubling clues
When you see 'em dip
Never let your foot get up in them shoes
You’ve got too much on the line
Once you’ve got something to lose
You don’t waste your time dealing with a
Fool who got something to prove
When you learn to live under them rules
You’ll maneuver like a boss do
