You know what? I'm destined to be the last man standing Carefully mapping my escape through planning Come in and get it, and leave here with it Making for sure that I'll be free when I hit It's like a dope man's lotto, the dope man follows The rule here is simple, and this is my motto To get it how you get it homie, Murcielago Get you a house built, keep you a dollar, know 'Cause when it's over it's over, no cheese to borrow You fuck around, get indicted, ain't no tomorrows My homie locked up, been six years tight But six years is nothing, 'cause this kid's life Is off is a cage, for the rest of his days A price that he paid, for the mistake he made So I'm more focused 'cause my lifestyle's bogus I got to get out, 'cause this fast life's over You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend You'll find the peace in the end Don't cry, the secret is to win You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend You'll find the peace in the end Don't cry, the secret is to win They say the ends, justifies the means So I guess a drug dealer justifies the fiends Poverty and unemployment justifies the screams The reason he stacks his paper, just to buy it clean 2006 with shoes the size of me But in the end, he wasn't really what he tried to be I'd never let no war justify me I question how hard some of these cats really be 'Cause real niggas don't speak, Our actions talk more Don't make me flip And turn these streets into a chalk board I do this for all the real niggas that smoke trees The hustlers, players, pimps, and O.G.'s For the up-and-coming cats, to the old schoolers The ones that remember Private Stock, And Calvin Coolidge It's a struggle to make it, keep pushing See how far you can take it, Two eye, or one eye Navigate it, what? You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend You'll find the peace in the end Don't cry, the secret is to win You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend You'll find the peace in the end Don't cry, the secret is to win I know this cocksucker pulling me Over because of my skin (just be cool) But the secret is to win, so I hold it in I'm yes sir-ing, no sir-ing , But when he pull off he diss A motherfucking, dick-sucking, redneck son of a bitch! All it takes is one pussy who ain't getting none To catch you on a dark street, and put you to sleep Dude was one deep, at the store, He said I ain't no ho' Got clapped in the back of his 'fro, woo! It didn't have to go like that, believe me mister Someday, niggas gon' respect these pistols Play the safe, get out the way, When a fool got the ups Pride'll get a motherfucker shot in the guts And remember this before you grown, Until the day that you gone Greed it don't last too long The secret is to range up out the game, And have money for life Not to stick around 'til you lose all your shit to the vice You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend You'll find the peace in the end Don't cry, the secret is to win You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend You'll find the peace in the end Don't cry, the secret is to win
