Take a Leaf

Lyrics

[Intro] You know when the others stacked against you Everybody expects you to lose You just try to do the opposite mate You know Life Free (?) Million times Banks [Verse 1] We just tryna win when we was born to lose When shit hit the fan you won't know what to do I just bought the shoes, never have to choose I used to look for God but only saw the moon If being antisocial made you think I'm rude Maybe I should say excuse me before I leave a room I'd rather keep it moving, I've got Ps to scoop Banks, showtime like I'm Beetlejuice I'm alone but far from lonely Just about myself, how you think you know me I just keep I lowkey, but you listen closely Only made me stronger if it never broke me When my role models sold drugs, I've killed bodies I just sold drugs, I never killed bodies I ain't got no guns but I got biscotti And I'm always in the mix like a Disk Jockey [Verse 2] I made it happen when it weren't happening I faint too much and feel too little like I'm Charlie Chaplin I do audition for a film but I'm shit at acting If you don't hussle forest then you shuffle backwards No rest for the wicked could only mean I am tired But I'm still confident that God see me tryin' If I'm lying then I'm dying Grinding till I'm shining Be careful when I shine, my lights blinding I play my position, hope you playin' yours Life a game of chess and I don't play no pawn King without a queen but I got hella (?) I make sure you give me brain until it hurts their jaw If I ain't breaking backs I'm prolly breaking laws Wherever is pussy always packs I treat you like a sport Rest in peace my brother John, you always in my thoughts You know it's die hard for life and fuck what they thought I don't promote violence, but my bro's violent If I ain't dropping jams then I be staying silent They tell you that I'm quiet that's just the way I like it Always be my own boss, I never be no sidekick Have to go and get it, no one put me on And life got me stressing it was looking long Everyday I got a DM saying where you going But truthfully I'm just tryna find my way cuz I know I was lost Different bitch for every day of the week Everywhere I go these hoes follow my feet My white girl sell her pussy but I fuck it for free And she got a their family call me one for the team, I mean Most these rappers craping they just selling you dreams I ain't tryna sugar coat it, I'm just giving you me, I mean Hear my boss' gun on a beat But in real life he probably just as normal as me, as Banks [Verse 3] These rich kids can never feel my pain Hands down the back of the sofa you never dark for change My new thing won't let me fuck until she picks my brain Got me sat around answering her questions just to get some brain Old thing told me I should love her or just leave her alone Now she wonder why I leave her alone, shit Glass house then you shouldn't throw stones But you gon throw them anyway So please mind how you go you know Sometimes I take a little space so I can breath a bit If you didn't practice what you preaching, don't be preaching it Don't make your bed and start complaining when you sleep in it The top seems so far away while you reaching it Might be a couple of things I want but I don't need for shit Hard times normally would show you who your people is I'm just tryna make good from all this evilness I done left my book opened, take a leaf of it
