Find My Way - Lil' Flip

when everybody else see’s, where I’m comin from

and I don’t know why I travel down these dead end roads

I gotta turn this car around-and find my way home

When you listen to my music do you feel my shit

look I don’t need punchlines cause I live my shit

alot of cats selling they soul for radio play

that’s why we need mo' rappers like Common and Kayne

niggaz scared to be broke so they fake it, to make it

if my album went gold I’d still be the greatest

back in the days I would get caught for trulency

but now I’m puttin money back in my community

I took my homies out the hood now they got jobs

cause it’s more to life then dodgin cop cars

I played the block hard, now I play the pop charts

now I’m gettin dumb money, cause I got smart

Aiiyo I never seen a man cry, till I seen a man die

so when you talk to me look me in my damn eyes

cause I been through it all and my scars prove it

cause when it come to that paper homie I’m a do it

I just rhyme part time you better know it

these lines comin from my mind so I never wrote it

keep my nine by my spine so I never show it

yeah I’m addicted to pine but I never grow it

and the reason I got signed cause I’m a poet

half of my niggaz doin time but I’m focused

that’s why I’m stayin on my grind if you haven’t noticed

that old Cadillac transformed to a Lotus

When ya new album drop everybody ya friend

niggaz actin like they down but I know they pretend

I use to scrap up money for studio time

I’m like Jay Z homie I remember my rhymes

ain’t nobody help me out when my cash was low

bills comin too fast so I had to blow

and I walked by faith, not by sight

cause I know G-O-D will guide me right

I take the bitter with the sweet, I know you feel my pain

why we gotta get harassed when we board the plane

I ain’t tryna preach to you but I hope you relate

even at a dead end you gotta find yo’way (Okay, Okay)

I wanna dedicate this track here to my grandparents

ya know they stuck with me through thick and thin

ya knah’im’sayin since day one, without my family

ya know I ain’t got no back bone man

so I dedicate this to you and pray to God you gon’find a way… holla back
