So What
H.Hancock - M.Brecker - R.Hargove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"The people who struggle the most
Or get it the hardest will succeed in the end
I promise you, you will not have the hardest life forever
Everything will come to you
What you deserve will come to you
And if I end up getting shot and killed for what the fuck I'm doing
Or if I end up getting my ass beat at some point of time
Or nigga if shit get hard on me it's cause I deserve it
That's point blank period"
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I spent a lot of time trying to make it
Hoping I wake up and one day I'll be famous
Hoping she won't leave, ain't no mother fucking changing
'Cause if I make it to the top it might get dangerous
Top it might get dangerous
We gotta watch our back, 'cause they a change on us
I'm hurting but we all feeling pain, so what
Tote the grip and watch my rear view, 'cause these niggas I can't trust
Because it's niggas I can't
Yeah they a sugar coat it, but I keep it real
Everybody around me smoking
Or they popping pills
Toting pistols, ducking opps just like we in the field
Yeah we use to shoot the ball
But now we shoot to kill
I don't wanna lose my brothers tryna make it out
Tryna get up out da hood and buy my mom a house
Yeah And damn I miss my pops, I wish they let em out
And if I go away then don't forget about me
Yeah and they done drove me crazy
Can't nobody out here save me
And I've been in my feelings lately
Even I'm just starting to hate me
I'm missing all thay love they gave
Now all I know is feeling pain
And I just turned into a demon
Miss when I was was still an angel
I spent a lot of time trying to make it
Hoping I wake up and one day I'll be famous
Hoping she won't leave, ain't no mother fucking changing
'Cause if I make it to the top it might get dangerous
Top it might get dangerous
We gotta watch our back, 'cause they a change on us
I'm hurting but we all feeling pain, so what




Tote the grip and watch my rear view, 'cause these niggas I can't trust
Because it's niggas I can't…
