I Need To Know - Fashawn

Dreaming, plotting on my arrival, but reality bites

My main focus is survival at this time of my life

Swear I’m my own worse rival

Even grab the Henny every time I’m feeling bottled

How come I ain’t hit the lotto, at least come up on a scheme?

Least I ain’t doing time, could be worse, keep in mind

They say I’m doing fine, but a nigga need cream, no

Choice but to grind, time I’mma gather up the team

I’m tired of seeing niggas mope around, I’m hungry so I hold it down

Money on my mind so I’m gritting, gotta get it

Early 'bout my hustle game, tryna scrape up some change

You can hate it or love it but this is how I’m living, nigga

If I die tonight, would you celebrate my life

Or just let a brother pass?

I need to know

Would I be forgotten or would you hold me down?

Sorry but I gotta ask, I need to know

In life, gotta stay on your toes

Stay tight with the fam, keep an eye on your foes

We live in a cold world, it’s hard to trust a soul

So I stay on the low, sucka free how I roll

Allergic to these hoes, keep my dick in my jeans

Away from them gold diggers, gotta stick with my queens

Might think it’s gold just because how I gleam

But it’s just an illusion, yeah, a bunch of confusion

It’s hard to be humble when your stomach is growling

While you juggling mountains and you just wanna drop

Then you reach deep inside and you grab that intuition

All them late nights wishing and hoping the pain stop but

Death is only a part of life, I don’t know why you scared

Shit you better get prepared for the reaper

I’d rather know he coming to get me before he creep up

Go out with a bang take my last hit of reefer

Kiss my momma on the cheek, tell my niggas

«I'll see ya up in Heaven, hold it down 'til we meet up»

Again, I’ll be somewhere in the clouds with my feet up

Going bar for bar with Pac, laughing with Jesus

Away from the struggling, the drama and the grieving

At last I can finally be at peace

Far away from them heaters who try to bring me down

All the trial and tribulations of the streets, I’m finally free
