Face It

So just be thankful today
Sometimes life don’t go your way
You gotta SHOW YOUR FACE
You gotta face it, you gotta face it! (3x)
I never had nothing!
From nothing to something!
Came from a broken home rats and roaches bro
Getting money gotta watch out for the vultures bro
I had to teach myself the game while dealing with this pain
I told my bro I was gon' make it ‘fore he got slain
Them boys and girls club days, Lloyd and Ms. Charmaine
Michael distraught little boy tryna maintain
I grew into a man Marko Stat$ is out they play me up in Netherlands and Poland
even in Japan
I’m still that same lil nigga on Winona street
I been a neutron in the jungle they notice me
They say hip hop damage the youth I say it’s poetry
If you not black then don’t say nigga naw this our culture my g!
They gentrifying everything they don’t want us here
I call this shit THE UPTOWN BLUES for all of my niggas yeah
And shoutout to my peers this is history, this humble universe that brought us
here we all make up the atmosphere
My music timeless so one day I’ll hear my daughter play it
My momma dancing up in heaven floating in the air
I swear I’m born to be the greatest and I’m well aware
This life’s a Ferris wheel but the don’t mean they make it fair!
So just be thankful today
Sometimes life don’t go your way
You gotta SHOW YOUR FACE
You gotta face it, you gotta face it! (3x)
I never had nothing!
From nothing to something!
