A Better Way

It's taking my breath away It must be a better way

I used to think hustling was the only way to get it till I switched it

Navigated the ditches, how to get it out the trenches

Mental over the muscle, kept the chicken over bitches

Driving on bridges, I peek ya interest cross the globe

Been sewing my seeds, watching them grow, that's from the flow

Hand on the stove, testing my patience, I'm impatient

Like waiting for what impulsive with all this money

I'm facing, how could I not chase it? With all this time I'm not facing

I promise it won't be a slot wasted, this prop out in Vegas

Plays in the Mandalay, then I'm right back on stage

Drop step and I fade away, I got cake to make

Fill the safe and I scrape the plate, nah this ain't a date

Slim nigga growing to major weight, got me testing fate

Yeah I grew up in section 8, took my breath away

My lesson, I'm only a check away

And I ain't got much to say, its taking my breath away

It must be a better way for heaven sake

I'm only a check away, you motherfuckers better pay for heaven sake

And I ain't got much to say, cause taking my breath away

It must be a better way for heaven sake

I'm only a check away, you motherfuckers better pay for heaven sake

Scrambling addiction like I'm handing prescriptions

That corner's smallwood I used to stand in my pippens

When niggas would pull your card like you canceled subscriptions

Early iceberg, slim, they was a fan of my pimping

Street scholar, I know niggas from prison to Princeton

Some women stripped for tuition, some was video vixens

Made a operation out my bass and vinyls and weed

They gon' tell you that it's Za, but a lot of it's seeds

Got it made, holding my love until I'm ready

I'm balling like the fab five and I ain't talking Freddy

I see civilians on surveillance in my office, shopping for gear

Sending kites to my niggas, up in Jesup locked on the tier

They love you till you tell them no, then hang with your enemies

We started small time, looking up to the Flennory's

I'm trying to put my nigga on how Jigga did Emory

Never too late to be great, that's how the people remember me, go

And I ain't got much to say, its taking my breath away

It must be a better way for heaven sake

I'm only a check away, you motherfuckers better pay for heaven sake

And I ain't got much to say, cause taking my breath away

And I ain't got much to say, its taking my breath away

It must be a better way for heaven sake

I'm only a check away, you motherfuckers better pay for heaven sake

And I ain't got much to say, cause taking my breath away
