Before I Leave Lyrics

I be trying to get to it in every single way

Trying to get a step ahead, trying to elevate 

I be out here getting paid, trying to get us straight

Watch the time and the money because neither of them wait

Shit I nearly caught a case out here, get it beat

I know she would've been waiting on me to get free

I know what they want, I got what they need

Trying to get it for all of us before the day I leave

Every time I see you is like the first time I meet you

But the first time I greeted you was the last because you deceitful

I got heat from turning heel from people I was supposed to feel

They weren't feeling me the same so I assumed they know the deal

So I bounced on them

Grabbed the waist line and put the three count on them

Laid the bass line on the beats and then put the bounce on them

Couldn't even vouch for them, top foreign what I be in

Taking more risks for opportunities with bigger cheques

Never take a rest, I been at it for a minute

Only had the coupe a minute now she getting in it

Remember when I had to steer my mother's whip

And dreamt of getting chips, learnt the business

Now it's showing in numbers, they heard the kid

I had to skip a couple dates had to dead it

Full speed 99 unleaded

You get props off diamonds you rented

I get my props off the rhymes I invented

Because I spoke my mind and I meant it

They say it'll cost my life but I already spent it, for real

I be trying to get to it in every single way

Trying to get a step ahead, trying to elevate 

I be out here getting paid, trying to get us straight

Watch the time and the money because neither of them wait

Shit I nearly caught a case out here, get it beat

I know she would've been waiting on me to get free

I know what they want, I got what they need

Trying to get it for all of us before the day I leave

I be trying to pull up at the dealership

Also trying to find some inner peace and shit

Nah I can't lease no shit, I got to cop it

Shit, you get exposed for saying you plotting

Drive as if the clock up on the dash not stopping

So they can't clock him

Pieces of advice for what you want

I probably already got them, it's all experience

I had to stay down five years straight

To set me up and get me on my way

Young Micko never be playing

That's for real

I be trying to get to it in every single way

Trying to get a step ahead, trying to elevate 

I be out here getting paid, trying to get us straight

Watch the time and the money because neither of them wait

Shit I nearly caught a case out here, get it beat

I know she would've been waiting on me to get free

I know what they want, I got what they need

Trying to get it for all of us before the day I leave

Before the day I leave?

Trying to leave something bigger than me

That's why I'm on my job, every day of every week

Why they all need a piece?

I took the risk, from that they wanna eat

If you been down since 2013, it's cool

If not ask you to leave

Stay by your side I'm never leaving that

Stay down to come up, know I believe in that

No plan B needed you a G if you agree with that

Crafted a vision and then achieve the shit I see with that

For real

I be trying to get to it in every single way

Trying to get a step ahead, trying to elevate 

I be out here getting paid, trying to get us straight

Watch the time and the money because neither of them wait

Shit I nearly caught a case out here, get it beat

I know she would've been waiting on me to get free

I know what they want, I got what they need

Trying to get it for all of us before the day I leave
