The Secret

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 **** man's lotto, the **** 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 **** 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 ****** 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 ****** 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 *************, ****-sucking, redneck son of a *****!

All it takes is one ***** 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, ****** gon' respect these pistols

Play the safe, get out the way,

When a fool got the ups

Pride'll get a ************ 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 **** 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
