Career Day
Only The Family & Lil Durk Lyrics

Career day in school, never be a policeman
I learned early on that not all careers are worth pursuing, like being a police officer, which may lead to violence and mistrust from the community.

Top floor of the Fontainebleau having threesome
I'm living a lavish lifestyle and indulging in hedonistic experiences, like having threesomes in luxurious hotels.

Look you in your eyes, say they love you just don't believe them
People may say they love you, but their actions speak louder than their words. Don't trust them until they prove it to you.

In the trenches got to play 'em close like you need 'em
When you're in tough situations, you need to be careful who you trust and stay close to those who can help you.

Chest pains, I was sipping lean by the liter
I dealt with a lot of emotional pain and used drugs to cope with it, which only made things worse.

How you screaming that you got some killers, you don't feed 'em?
People brag about having dangerous associates, but they may not actually support them or treat them well.

Booka steady tripping when I say I don't believe in Jesus
My friend Booka gets upset when I express my lack of faith in Christianity, but I have different beliefs.

Don't ever put your all into a bitch cause she gon' leave
Don't invest all your time and energy into a romantic partner because they may not stay in your life forever.

I know a couple of Atlanta hoes who wear her lashes
I know some women in Atlanta who wear false eyelashes as part of their appearance.

In the trap I fuck the baddest bitches on a mattress
I have sex with attractive women in drug-related locations, like a trap house.

Give into the trenches took advantage of my kindness
I trusted the wrong people in difficult situations and they took advantage of my generosity and compassion.

I done gave a nigga a lot of pounds without asking
I've given someone a lot of money without them even asking for it, which shows my willingness to support them.

Government, did that shutdown he got his time in
When the government faced a shutdown, someone I know got in trouble and had to serve time in prison.

Damn well he 'posed supposed to be on home confinement
He was supposed to serve his sentence on home confinement, but he violated those terms and ended up in prison.

Killers right on standby off my word just like Simon
I have dangerous people ready to act on my command, like the game Simon Says.

I can judge a nigga by his character off his diamonds
I can tell a lot about someone's character based on the expensive jewelry they wear.

I know a nigga, he shooting dice with the T's
I know someone who's gambling with people who are affiliated with the gangster organization called the T's.

But how you say that when I give him all he needs
How can he complain when I've already provided everything he asked for?

And Even though he ain't show no love I try to reach
Even though he doesn't show any affection or loyalty, I still make an effort to connect with him.

In commonwealth he took a dub, nigga please
He won a bet against me in the Commonwealth, but it was only for a small amount of money.

Is it possible they love you like they say they do?
It's unclear whether people truly love you or are just saying it to manipulate or deceive you.

Is it possible your homies they gon' hate on you?
Your friends may turn on you for various reasons, like envy or greed.

For that check, I have your day ones to lay on you
People may betray their most loyal friends for money or financial gain.

Is they keeping it one-thousand like they say they do?
Are people being honest with you or are they lying to your face?

They don't understand me, addicted to them Xannies
People don't fully understand my struggles with addiction to Xanax.

Told you we ain't friends, it's only the family
I clarified that we're not just friends, but are part of a tight-knit group or family.

Is it possible you gon' ride?
Are you willing to stand up for yourself and ride for what you believe in?

Out on thirteen-hunnid so don't act like you can't find us
I'm out in the streets where you can easily locate me.

Tim-tim lost his life, I bang the same block he died for
My friend Tim-tim was killed on this block, but I continue to represent and defend it despite the danger.

September 18th, ain't that the same shit we cried for?
On September 18th, something traumatic or tragic happened that we all mourned and cried over.

All them niggas got to sliding when them tears dried up
After the sadness and emotional outpouring subsided, everyone returned to their usual behaviors and habits.

Made it out the trenches we young vets and survivors
We've managed to escape difficult and dangerous situations, making us seasoned veterans and survivors.

Learned so much from that corner, bumped my head but now I'm wiser
I gained valuable lessons and knowledge from being in tough street corners, even though I made mistakes and got hurt.

Chasing after trends I risked my freedom for designer
I pursued fashionable clothing and accessories at the cost of possibly being arrested or compromising my freedom.

Almost lost my life got out and I was on that timer
I had a close call with death and realized that I was running out of time to make something of myself.

Now I hit up Treasures with a hunnid-thousand on me
I've made a lot of money and can afford to go to high-end adult entertainment venues with a lot of cash on hand.

I don't fuck with niggas I'm with Blast or by my lonely
I don't associate with many people and am either with my gun Blast or completely alone.

Loyalty dying slow you gotta watch out for your homies
Loyalty among friends is deteriorating and you should be cautious and aware of your surroundings.

If any nigga play, a dead man is what he gon' be
If someone disrespects me or my people, their life may be in danger.
