No Matter What
G-Mason Lyrics

We was taught to fight no matter what, it ain't no givin' up
We were raised to always stand up for ourselves and never give up, no matter the circumstances.

Never really know when it's your time, you gotta live it up
We never truly know when our time will come to an end, so we have to make the most of every moment.

Standin' on that corner like a rush and we can't get enough
Standing on the street corner, we experience an adrenaline rush and can't get enough of the excitement.

War zone, I'm on my way to school, got my blicker tucked
The neighborhood is like a war zone, and even on my way to school, I have to carry a weapon for protection.

Prayed to the Lord for better days, feel like he skippin' us
I've prayed to God for better days, but it feels like He is ignoring our pleas.

You gon' either die or see the system, ain't no slippin' up
In these streets, you either lose your life or get caught up in the justice system; there is no room for mistakes.

In these streets they'll take your life and they don't give a fuck
In the dangerous streets, people will take your life without any care or remorse.

Ain't worried 'bout the opps, I just been tryna run my digits up
I'm not concerned about my rivals; I've been solely focused on making money and increasing my wealth.

Lost touch with God, I'm so happy that I found you
I have drifted away from my faith in God, but now that I have found Him again, I feel relieved and grateful.

Money only change the ones around you
When you have money, it only alters the behavior of those close to you.

Nonbelievers listened to your dreams and they clowned you
People who didn't believe in you would mock and ridicule your dreams.

All the same niggas showin' love, used to doubt you
Those same people who now show support used to doubt your abilities.

Feel out of place when that fake love surround you
I feel uncomfortable when people show fake love and pretend to care about me.

Bitch, I run my city, they know who to give the crown to
I am the dominant figure in my city, and everyone recognizes that I am deserving of the highest status.

My dogs on go and ain't shit to bring them hounds through
My loyal friends are always ready for action, and there is nothing that can stop them from assisting me.

And when you fight for your life, ain't no round two
When your life is on the line, there is no second chance or opportunity for a rematch.

In the hood watchin' my big homies pushin' pounds too
Growing up in the neighborhood, I witnessed my older friends dealing drugs.

Used to daydream and shinin' in the hood with these bands
I used to imagine myself being successful and flaunting my wealth in the neighborhood.

Tryna leave these hard times, run through millies with my friend
I am attempting to escape the difficult times and accumulate millions of dollars alongside my friend.

But my homies died young and that wasn't part of the plan
Unfortunately, my friends passed away at a young age, which was unexpected and not part of our aspirations.

Flyin' on these planes, wish that I could reach and touch your hand
As I travel on airplanes, I wish I could physically reach out and touch the hands of my departed loved ones.

I don't wanna be awake, that's why I keep poppin' these Xans
I do not want to be conscious and face reality, which is why I continuously consume Xanax pills to escape.

My girl heart became a weakness, I did everything I can
My girlfriend's vulnerability became a weakness for her, and I did everything I could to protect and support her.

All my shorties know it's spark, load that .40 up and spray it
All my young associates understand the action required, load a .40 caliber gun and use it.

Tweak with the squad and we start clappin' like a standin' ovation
If someone messes with our group, we will retaliate violently, causing havoc and chaos.

Doin' all this sinnin', feelin' like I'm gettin' close to Satan
Engaging in sinful activities makes me feel like I am getting closer to the influence of evil.

The street's a dirty ho, give it your heart and she gon' break it
The streets are treacherous and unreliable; if you invest yourself emotionally, they will inevitably disappoint and hurt you.

Just wanted to be rich, was out there hustlin' with frustration
My sole desire was to become wealthy, so I hustled with a sense of urgency and exasperation.

Felt like I was behind, so I got tired of bein' patient
I constantly felt like I was falling behind, so I grew weary of waiting and decided to take action.

If your mind stuck on the finer things then you supposed to chase it
If your mind is fixated on material desires, then you are obligated to pursue them relentlessly.

Ridin' in that brand new Beamer, I feel motivated
Driving in a brand new BMW gives me a sense of motivation and drive.

Fake niggas show support, but deep inside I know they hate it
False individuals pretend to support me, but deep down, I am aware of their hidden resentment.

Fuck the industry, it's all cap, this shit overrated
I have a negative opinion of the music industry, considering it to be full of lies and exaggerations, and overhyped.

Promise I'm gon' be the greatest 'til it ain't no more debatin'
I swear that I will become the greatest artist, and there will be no more room for arguments or doubts.

Prodigy, a young king that's why my momma cultivated
I am a young prodigy and a powerful figure, and my mother played a crucial role in nurturing and supporting my talents.

In that cell, public defender tried to offer me probation
While incarcerated, a public defender attempted to negotiate a plea deal for probation on my behalf.

Now I step out on that stage and see a thousand different faces
Now, when I perform on stage, I am met with the sight of a diverse audience consisting of thousands of individuals.

Thinkin' 'bout my life, I probably would have died if I ain't make it
Reflecting on my past, I believe I would have lost my life had I not achieved the level of success I currently have.

R.I.P. TimTim, I remember out last conversation
Rest in peace, TimTim, as I recall our final conversation together.
