What It Takes ft. Cbo Lyrics

Vices

Advise this

While the visine

In my eyelids

When time gets

Violent

Only Vices

Gon win

We tried to make a way the gas, the pills or the yay on blocks

I'm bout my paper mane make sure the dividends straight off top

From where Hip Hop is based but niggas from round the way know Hard Rock

I know the pot gon sing if I ever lose my way and need guap

No I ain't far away from niggas still in the game cuz why would

I be a fool to think that it couldn't happen to me cuz life's good

Like we ain't share every dollar so we wouldn't ask our mommas

Life ain't a game but cuz of these cops nigga I chose the robber

Ok and what that mean

Yeah your daughter chose a criminal

I know some killers and dealers that made it a living but I was the minimal

Mom couldn't feed us the healthiest now she buy vitamins to make up for minerals

Grew up religious but I'd often pivot cuz nigga it had too many rules

But looking through God eyes only guide lines could help a nigga through

So on my down time recognize I had some miracles

Know life is short here feel like nine lives guess I'm living proof

Gave death a long stare then laughed

Reaper what is you gonna do

Go outside just to fade

Sneak inside after a play

Reason why momma hair gray

Nigga this is what it takes

Jump in that fight cuz he gang

Throw that set up that he bang

They the ones that let you hang

Nigga this is what it takes

Never fake

Don't do doctors I chose blocks where gangstas helped me

Medicate

Told myself that I'll do better but now ain't no

Better way

2pac said to keep your head up Biggie said that

Niggas bleed

So what you think it took for me

Don't count me outI keep numbers inside my pocket

This ain't no game

I'm cbotw nigga

Chris be out the way

Been counting and spending with no limit

Been a long time touched minimum wage

I'm reading and teaching

I'm teaching my readings

I feel like I'm sage

My mind been locked inside a cage

I feel so free when I blaze

If you get stressed Meditate

We all done had better days

It get dark before it rain

Always get sunny when it's done

If you focus on money you gon get sum

Got too many problems can't pick 1

If we talking bout bags need the big 1

Can't kick it with a lame never been 1

If I make a few bands Imma spend 1

You know I had to double back

I don't spin once

BO and E make speakers Knock

I make music when I'm lonely

I ain't grow up with this passion

I had got this from my homie

We had started with the fashion

2015 we made kiody

2016 made my first song

That same night something told me

2023 and I'm still going

I made a promise to the old me

I just turned 24

My mentality on Kobe

Mentally

The lil shit get to me

But I can't let it fuck with my energy

You don't know what it took just to feel

I been feeling the feelings ain't real

Shawty go up and down like hills

Hot girl summer but she wanna chill

If you with me just gimme the bill

Shout out the team my niggas gon ball

We lost connection she still gon call

Hit where it hurts I still stand tall

Square ass nigga Colonial Mall

So many flavors I don't need em all

Third eye open like

"Hi I'm Paul"

Damn

Girl I'm high as hell

Young stoner life

Niggas gotta pay that price

But they gotta free ysl
