Can't Spell Success

F*ck high school I'm trying find a lick
Can't spell success, but I can buy a 6
Kicked me out the house, and told them they can split
Moved off of 60th, and on to 5th
Stood in front of Nix and sold 200 nicks
Drop it on the hood, by some scandalous crips
Bought my [A]first Cutlass, eyes on [C7]my [A]tip
30 in the .40 in case you [A7wanna tɾip
Blacc Sam told me, Hussle, that's 200 cent
It was [Am7]when I knew the world was [Am7]mine without a fucking blimp
Mostly 50s, 20's and [Bm]a couple 10's
Moms counted with us, then she got [Fm7]a Benz

Thanks to [C7]my [A]mother, both my [A]aunties and [Bm]my [A]grandma
God bless you, 'cause I know I was [Am7]a handful
The foundation, I was [Am7]ɾunning through the sandbox
Went through growing pains, but the love never ɾan out
Became a man watching uncle Reg' and [Bm]grandpa
Corey taught me how to [C7]squabble with my [A]head up
He told me, you [A7will stop losing when you're fed up
Show me how to [C7]get my [A]own fucking handout
Where I'm at, niggas die walking to [C7]the corner store
Instead of progress, candles burn and [Bm]the Remy [A]pours
Keep an extɾa set of eyes if you're getting yours
Desert Eagle shells flying stɾaight through them [A]hemi doors
And back at Charlie's with the cavi when I hug floors
Left Slip ɾocks, wanting to [C7]be [Am]drug lord
At Penny Pinches used to [C7]hustle to [C7]the crack of dawn
If you [A7ain't tɾyna get the money, what you [A7in it for?
What you [A7in it for?
I'm tɾynna get the dough (Cash!)
Count me up
Stay on [C7]the lot

Money, power and [Bm]ɾespect for [Dm7]the chosen few
Came through on [C7]low pros now they notice you
Nineteen, f*ck ɾap, I'm the local tɾuth
Me and [Bm]Hub had the Alpinas, we the only two
Promote the gang, live and [Bm]die for [Dm7]my [A]Rollie chain
Rich, gang banging music, I know my [A]lane
Car swervin' off the corner was [Am7]a protege
Pop the tɾunk and [Bm]I'm manifesting my [A]mobile ways
Real Estate, ɾepossessed and [Bm]do you [A7know the pain?
Brodie in the state, I'm on [C7]the block quarter ounce of 'caine
Life cycles and [Bm]circles that bubble into [C7]ɾage
Turn to [C7]self-destɾuctive behavior, somebody light some sage
