[00:25.197] You know what?
[00:25.974] I'm destined to be the last man standing
[00:27.716] Carefully mapping my escape through planning
[00:30.655] Come in and get it, and leave here with it
[00:33.510] Making for sure that I'll be free when I hit
[00:36.493] It's like a **** man's lotto, the **** man follows
[00:39.233] The rule here is simple, and this is my motto
[00:42.147] To get it how you get it homie, Murcielago
[00:45.073] Get you a house built, keep you a dollar, know
[00:48.416] 'Cause when it's over it's over, no cheese to borrow
[00:50.750] You **** around, get indicted, ain't no tomorrows
[00:53.733] My homie locked up, been six years tight
[00:56.566] But six years is nothing, 'cause this kid's life
[00:59.631] Is off is a cage, for the rest of his days
[01:02.209] A price that he paid, for the mistake he made
[01:04.947] So I'm more focused 'cause my lifestyle's bogus
[01:07.885] I got to get out, 'cause this fast life's over
[01:10.950] You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend
[01:15.512] You'll find the peace in the end
[01:17.451] Don't cry, the secret is to win
[01:20.690] You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend
[01:27.285] You'll find the peace in the end
[01:28.689] Don't cry, the secret is to win
[01:33.344] They say the ends, justifies the means
[01:37.233] So I guess a drug dealer justifies the fiends
[01:40.008] Poverty and unemployment justifies the screams
[01:42.783] The reason he stacks his paper, just to buy it clean
[01:45.928] 2006 with shoes the size of me
[01:48.610] But in the end, he wasn't really what he tried to be
[01:51.490] I'd never let no war justify me
[01:53.963] I question how hard some of these cats really be
[01:57.352] 'Cause real ****** don't speak,
[01:59.270] Our actions talk more
[02:00.371] Don't make me flip
[02:01.648] And turn these streets into a chalk board
[02:03.447] I do this for all the real ****** that smoke trees
[02:06.165] The hustlers, players, pimps, and O.G.'s
[02:09.147] For the up-and-coming cats, to the old schoolers
[02:12.050] The ones that remember Private Stock,
[02:14.650] And Calvin Coolidge
[02:15.730] It's a struggle to make it, keep pushing
[02:17.843] See how far you can take it,
[02:19.410] Two eye, or one eye Navigate it, what?
[02:20.908] You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend
[02:23.904] You'll find the peace in the end
[02:26.967] Don't cry, the secret is to win
[02:30.521] You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend
[02:36.580] You'll find the peace in the end
[02:38.961] Don't cry, the secret is to win
[02:42.409] I know this cocksucker pulling me
[02:45.450] Over because of my skin
[02:46.762] (just be cool)
[02:48.005] But the secret is to win, so I hold it in
[02:49.769] I'm yes sir-ing, no sir-ing ,
[02:51.221] But when he pull off he diss
[02:52.440] A *************, ****-sucking, redneck son of a *****!
[02:55.609] All it takes is one ***** who ain't getting none
[02:58.209] To catch you on a dark street, and put you to sleep
[03:01.088] Dude was one deep, at the store,
[03:03.167] He said I ain't no ho'
[03:04.049] Got clapped in the back of his 'fro, woo!
[03:06.847] It didn't have to go like that, believe me mister
[03:09.760] Someday, ****** gon' respect these pistols
[03:12.802] Play the safe, get out the way,
[03:14.208] When a fool got the ups
[03:15.507] Pride'll get a ************ shot in the guts
[03:18.467] And remember this before you grown,
[03:19.988] Until the day that you gone
[03:21.324] Greed it don't last too long
[03:23.424] The secret is to range up out the game,
[03:25.863] And have money for life
[03:27.128] Not to stick around 'til you lose all your **** to the vice
[03:30.006] You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend
[03:34.406] You'll find the peace in the end
[03:36.765] Don't cry, the secret is to win
[03:40.201] You've got seasons to rise, and moments to descend
[03:46.005] You'll find the peace in the end
[03:48.305] Don't cry, the secret is to win
