Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you ain't never took no losses
You can't tell me what you been thru
It's become apparent
We are not cut from the same cloth
In my hood them killers put you on the menu
Made my way up out and turned myself into my own boss
Don't take for granted don't know what the next would do for that
Don't take for granted don't know what the next would do for that
He came up missing but we ain't have none to do with that
No cap
Yuh
None to do with that
Ya patna came up missing
You can't get ya nigga back
You niggas talking reckless
Y'all don't even carry straps
Put'em in the dirt
We ain't even use a mask
Yeah,
Yeah we getting cash
Paid a fee for the job and we do the task
Yeah,
Yeah we getting bags
Big ass Glock on my hip so my pants sag
Knock' em off that's a toe tag
Plus he miss his patna feeling sad
Twenty-one oh yeah,
We up we glad
Everything we got they wish they had
If you ain't never took no losses
You can't tell me what you been thru
It's become apparent
We are not cut from the same cloth
In my hood them killers put you on the menu
Made my way up out and turned myself into my own boss
Don't take for granted don't know what the next would do for that
I got some patna's that'll have you on the news for that
Don't take for granted don't know what the next would do for that
He came up missing but we ain't have none to do with that
No cap
I came from nothing
So fuck' em
An I ain't kissing ass
I played my spot
You wouldn't believe and it was in the bag
I ask the route to make it out
They tried to hide the map
I'm yo opp you took yo shot
Ain't nothing cool with that
My head fucked
You test your luck
You know what's up with that
Sleepless nights I'm bending corners
Tryna get it back
I done slept out of state I done slept on mats
It ain't no where that I can't go but I still keep a strap
I'm looking forward to my future
Screaming fuck the past
I'm putting in my woods we smoking Ock pack
Truth be told I tried to avoid it but I want all the gas
My big brother say I'm trippin 'coz I love to flash
If you ain't never took no losses
You can't tell me what you been thru
It's become apparent
We are not cut from the same cloth
In my hood them killers put you on the menu
Made my way up out and turned myself into my own boss
Don't take for granted don't know what the next would do for that
I got some patna's that'll have you on the news for that
Don't take for granted don't know what the next would do for that
He came up missing but we ain't have none to do with that
