Trials & Tribulations Lyrics

Through all the trials and tribulation, yeah

Through all the trials and tribulations I've been steady elevatin'

They hopin' I'd be down in the dumps, but look, I made it

And when my family turned foe, I couldn't take it

But once the deed done, it's done, you can't erase it

I was really down bad, tryna hold my head up

Mental state of depression, it's still I had to man up

It done been eight months and I ain't have no mail come

Feel like my folks and them forgot, and I can't even blame them

Lately I've been talking to God more than ever

I pray that he blessin' over every single endeavor

Whatever your circumstances, hope it change for the better

I know the world sittin' on your shoulder, just keep your head up

Look, and I ain't been the same since they threw me in a cell

He too friendly with the COs, type of nigga that tell

Cost a cool quarter mill just for me to make bail

Fuck it, I'm a function right up in this county jail

I knew the blicky had a body, but I bought it on sale

Re-adjust the bag, the numbers glitchin' on the scale

School of hard knocks, it's the ghetto version of Yale

I don't wanna hear advice if you ain't showing for yourself

Feel like the releast nigga left

Through all the trials and tribulations I've been steady elevatin'

They hopin' I'd be down in the dumps, but look, I made it

And when my family turned foe, I couldn't take it

But once the deed done, it's done, you can't erase it

I was wishin' people well, they was prayin' that I fail

If I call you my brother, my loyalty not for sale

And I ain't have the help, so I made a happen for self

Downplayin' my success, but you sittin' up on the shelf

That's somethin' I never felt, nah

Didn't I tell you it was levels to this game

If I don't make it rappin', I package it whole thangs

Look, we got it out the gutter, the struggle is everyday

I'm stressed out, so I'm indulgin' in substance to medicate

The subject is still the same, money over everything

That's the reason why the friendship failed, over some change

Niggas movin' backwards, they goin' against the grain

It's a risky occupation, don't put yourself in a grave

A sticky situation, we caught him around the way

Packed his ass out, we could've shot him in his face, though

A1 Beanz, I'm the sinner with all the sayso

Hit him up, then catch an early flight so I can lay-low

Stayed down till I came up, nigga, case closed

When opportunity meet preparation, that's a bankroll

Niggas say I ain't solidified, he ain't sobber

I'm Kobe in fourth quarter, I'm the motherfuckin' closer

Through all the trials and tribulations I've been steady elevatin'

They hopin' I'd be down in the dumps, but look, I made it

And when my family turned foe, I couldn't take it

But once the deed done, it's done, you can't erase it

I was wishin' people well, they was prayin' that I fail

If I call you my brother, my loyalty not for sale

And I ain't have the help, so I made a happen for self

Downplayin' my success, but you sittin' up on the shelf

That's somethin' I never felt, nah
