Chris Gatsby - Love It Or Leave It lyrics

rate me

Blood sweated tears became the ink within the pen

Lot swollen, lot wrote, where should I begin?

The pain an struggle, turn into my hustle

The torment trouble turn into my muscle

American dreams became dreams the birth

For others they became American nightmares

Mom ... loosing the house

She did so much for me so now I'm trying to help her out

Got promises to keep and some people to look after

Staying on my grind, yeah, trying not to slack off

Work on my shoulders, trying not to falter

Always under pressure, but never under boulder

... and regression, I'm part of the progression

Mistakes are part of life, I take them like a blessing

Back twice as smart, twice as hungry

Greed twice as strong but the world can't stop me

[Chorus]

Love, I ain't leaving, I'm still doing me

Shit, let's keep it real, hommie, that's just me

This is me now, I can't turn back

This is what made me, I can't turn back

Lost property and lost some of the best smiths

Some cats withered, fell back, and start regressing

I went back, restocked and started over

With my rear-view will look over my shoulder

Fake snakes, no love, they full of hate

Fake pounds and the smiles upon their face

The ones that hurt you most, the ones close

Loyalty is rare, so lets work this way then go

Some where helped out by the hands that feed them

They had to help them, everytime they need them

Let them sleep on the couch, they didn't charge the rent

Help you with your money to help pay out your debt

You talk behind my back and stick a dagger in it

It hurts more to know all that and you did it

All these cats are two faced, can't trust one

Then they wonder why I chose to trust none

[Chorus]

Sometimes we make excuses to not achieve greatness

But I take that biz go hard, so I'mma make it

Think about my life and the sentence I make

What's wrong with you girls getting aids

People die from lung cancer, still, I choose addictions

Mom sacrificed for the way her son's living

Told me work hard, but leave and don't ever stop

Think about my cousin locked up and never shot up

I follow the same path and learn from mistakes

G through the same cycle and break that chain

I used to let insecurity dominate my ego

Tryna be, but not to satisfy people

At the end of the day I just gotta be me

Can't live behind the gloves I just wanna be free

[Chorus]
