Determined - Trae Tha Truth

It’s been hard to enjoy a smile when your life all trash

Most of my people flew to heaven damn I still ain’t packed

I been searching for better days like my shit been jack

My last five been hell I’m just trying to get that back

I done built one hell of a story trying to get that sack

So many nights hanging on corners like a fucked up wreck

With everything falling apart I’m trying to keep shit intact

I pray I don’t go in reverse and have to whip that crack

I done witnessed too many switches so my days don’t trust shit

My spirit stay under pressure trying to hold so much

Devil around the corner guess he still on that fucked shit

Been fighting since I was 12, hell I still ain’t done shit

Everyone counting on me hope my numbers don’t fall short

I’m still battling snakes coming at me in all sorts

Trying not to get bit, I gotta win like all sports

Still trying to sail this ship when they closed off all ports

Yeah I see it

But they gonna have to see me too

Kinda hard to vision a dream when you’re stuck in a nightmare

Everything point against your love don’t fight fair

Enemies playing angels only hoping your life spare

Sick of walking these shoes I’m trying to find me the right pair

Streets yelling out king I guess I’m still in the right chair

Trying to delete my circle before it’s got by the right square

Been chosen their bed though it gave me a light scare

Feel like everyone watching even if it’s a light stare

Looking at everyone who said fuck me I gotta fade 'em

And what they know don’t apply, if I trip out can’t no one save 'em

I know I’m in God’s favor, therefore I can never hate 'em

Just sit you up with the business and shake em up 'til I wake 'em

Don’t wait on me, my ride is in motion

Trying to make it when my kids turned 17 it was toasting

Seen too many take advance so I just focus on coasting

I’ve acquire to be greater so this show I was hosting, G

This is the trip ain’t

It it’s all good nigga

I’m still at it nigga

Yeah I’m on it

My inner spirit keep telling me Trae you not a loser

Go lose them niggas in traffic and get them for what they do’s ya

Nigga was getting older walking talking and laughing

And talking shit at the same time funny how time is passing

Lil Jared is fly as a Hulk

I know them girls gonna be in trouble you can tell when he talk

It ain’t a game, baby houston is a star I can feel it

Give them a year, I swear he gonna be hot as a skillet

I know my life ain’t been the best but I could say I’m alive

I’m thanking god that I ain’t die I’m out here trying to survive

A lot of people seen me hurting so they turned away

Went about their business

I came in this alone so I’m gonna be there when I finish

I prayed to get out the hood

This lil nigga that could

I say it ain’t all bad I’m just trying to make it for good

Mama told me to win I’ma do my best just so I can make her proud

Before either one of us make it to a cloud

And I’ma do that

Forreal

Bet your life on that one

Come on

I got it

Tell them niggas watch me

Yeah tell them niggas watch me

Yeah, tell them niggas watch me

I tried to tell em watch
