E-40
Peer Editing [Smoothie Blue Remix]
Verse 1:
I always used to wonder who could live without me
Who I had to prove wrong if they ever doubted me
I pointed the finger when it came to taking the blame
Overtook the blame when I was younger
Wasn’t the same
Life is a game but it’s not
Nurture your seed if not just let it rot
I noticed you can’t have it both ways
I cried in the parking lot to this song after it went wrong and went our separate ways that night
It was real frightening. The house I ran to thought I spited them
I used to want to fight them
I warned them I need to grow and do this for me
This current me is unsightly
I feel off of my bike, fell off of my scooter
Thought she could do better you know I had to boot her
If it wasn’t me it was someone else
I did it for another girl too checking for her health
If I can't sacrifice what is needed for this wealth
The only person can look at that for is myself
I donated plasma with my viable arm
Used to that to tell the girls I’m clean don’t get alarmed
Played clash of clans all day I was trying to farm
What was my cause?
See butterflies flowing in the wind
I know this is what it takes for me to get like that again
All my life knows is sin
Where to even begin?
My beginning is coming after this year
It’s 25, 20/20 no more to get by
It’s time I got mine and get a slice of this pie
It’s not mine to have
To keep I get to manage it
Tired of thinking of suicide or not saying I apologize because it’s part of my pride
I can empathize all I want but if I can’t be the guy
And do it on my own then who the fuck am I?
During this change leave me alone
I am the prize. I’m the lottery ticket
If you’re on the fence about me I’m gonna pick it
Did I lose you, I snoozed you?
Boo hoo’d cause of you?
You ain’t better than me if we’re keeping it true
Gonna out me cause I ain’t talking about religion
I’m spiritual
Make the most out of Hell’s Kitchen
If we don’t get it right we coming back to do it again
Verse 2:
Don’t make this into a trend
I’m not an engineer just waiting on my story to begin
This tape I ain’t doing it for the clout
Wanna get out and stop living in other people’s houses
Don’t trust people till the evidence I’m shown
I said this before on the last tape gotta get gone
More weak than part of a year I gotta get strong
So that I can teach others how to get a long
Stop talking about all the chances I’ve blown
Don’t need these meetings to see that I’ve grown
When God passes me the next throw I’m going long
With my current girl I’m Nia long
It’s never too late didn’t game her just to penetrate
Let me set that straight
Forgive me for what I’m about to say

(Nothing To Me Intro):
This is just my side. My story
I gotta let it go somehow. Ain’t playing the victim
Again, I played my part
Whether I let you take advantage of me or I took advantage of you
We all deal with karma
You get what you put in
Simple as that
Verse 3:
Fuck this fucking bullshit
I told you don’t say you want my body if you don’t know exactly where I’ve been
I ain’t worried about your life I ain’t comparing it
Life was at a low inside the Sheraton
About to join a force that works under a government that doesn’t give a fuck
I’m glad I got stuck at the MEPs taking the physical test
Glad I got my toe fixed was showing distress
I played all of high school with it
Looking like a fool on the bench yeah I was sitting
Couldn’t make a free throw couldn’t make a kick
My grades weren’t good sat out a season didn’t give a shit
I wished more people would care
Who was really aware
Could only accomplish carrying shit up the stairs
Groceries, wish I ate more apples, peaches and pears
Scared of individual development
Improvement, Fuck the bars that society places I gotta do this shit

Verse 4:
You can fight me out of spite get it right
Get a rifle and shoot the dudes that pushed me out of sight
Spit in my face I should have snatched your life
Made fun of me I wasn’t smashing left and right
Hoes getting exposed no cool clothes to mask my sight
I got a laugh up out it
Anyone from school who wanna fight me won’t have a problem
Noticed people stopped fucking with me
Wasn’t concerned what I didn’t earn it was stuck with me
I saw a girl walk out at graduation
I got admiration for her I ain’t have the nuts to do same thing patience was too much for people walking all over me
I’m fucking over it
Not a crutch for you, I’m not a coaster
Not stopping till I’m coasting the coast of Costa Rica
With some pico de Gallo gotta be strict cause I know it’s my go
It’s my goal you know
To be the Stapleton in my den my friend
Stay behind I won’t think less of ya
Coming up and I’m protecting ya
Outro:
Shoutout to Chaz
Been years since we’ve fought and we’ve both had mixed emotions over the years meeting in each other in those stairs
I always wanted to shoot another fair one with you
I realized however you were God’s message to me to humble me after hitting my dad in the mouth
You also set the bar that I was taking no one else’s shit. I thank you for that
I’m glad you’re doing well I heard from Drew you’re first in Track that’s what’s up. It was good seeing you that other day. God bless. Take it easy
