Nothin For Nothin feat. CL - Cradle Orchestra (クレイドル・オーケストラ)[00:00:00]
Yeah these cats still don't get it know what I'm saying[00:00:12]
Tell 'em like this[00:00:18]
Lights out it's over can't push this boulder[00:00:20]
Jaded and faded is this concrete soldier[00:00:23]
Rhymes getting deeper now as I get older[00:00:26]
And fate is the weight bearing down on my shoulders[00:00:28]
Everyday I ponder life and time[00:00:31]
Amazed how fast the movie passes by[00:00:34]
It was like yesterday when I was on my block[00:00:36]
With my boys on the corner trying to beatbox[00:00:39]
It was like last week when I got my new bike[00:00:41]
Jumping hills on my dead end until we lost sunlight[00:00:44]
See I knew I'd be special in life[00:00:47]
Cause I'm a father to sons husband to a wife[00:00:49]
But my passion still be the beats and mics[00:00:52]
See I'm in college on the weekend the studio at night[00:00:54]
Writing on breaks jotting down my mistakes[00:00:57]
Successes and all else that takes place[00:00:59]
This world gives you nothing for nothing[00:01:02]
Gotta stand tall stand for something[00:01:05]
When it comes down it goes around[00:01:07]
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground[00:01:10]
But I stay right no shame self-made[00:01:13]
Going on my page[00:01:16]
Reminisce on days past[00:01:18]
Holding on but it just won't last[00:01:20]
This world gives you nothing for nothing[00:01:23]
Gotta stand tall stand for something[00:01:25]
When it comes down it goes around[00:01:28]
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground[00:01:31]
But I stay right no shame self-made[00:01:33]
Going on my page[00:01:36]
Reminisce on days past days past[00:01:38]
Holding on but it just won't last[00:01:41]
Yo not much dough but this cat still flows[00:01:43]
Been down and out and spent some time in the last row[00:01:46]
Persistence it be my middle name[00:01:49]
No shame in my game in the pursuit of fame[00:01:51]
You take shorts[00:01:54]
You end up short[00:01:55]
So recognise ain't no lies when you look into my eyes[00:01:56]
Dressed proper well-schooled like a doctor[00:01:59]
Golden-aged hip hopper nine-to-five show stopper[00:02:01]
Grown-a** man doing what he can[00:02:04]
Dreams shattered by years working for the man[00:02:07]
Been knocked down but always got up[00:02:09]
Been myself but still got labelled like a product[00:02:11]
Most stay down until you hit a cliff[00:02:15]
Some rich people still think life's a b**ch[00:02:17]
Get busy dying or work on how you live[00:02:20]
See life through my kids stay doing it ya dig[00:02:22]
This world gives you nothing for nothing[00:02:25]
Gotta stand tall stand for something[00:02:27]
When it comes down it goes around[00:02:30]
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground[00:02:33]
But I stay right no shame self-made[00:02:35]
Going on my page[00:02:38]
Reminisce on days past days past[00:02:40]
Holding on but it just won't last[00:02:43]
This world gives you nothing for nothing[00:02:46]
Gotta stand tall stand for something[00:02:48]
When it comes down it goes around[00:02:50]
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground[00:02:53]
But I stay right no shame self-made[00:02:56]
Going on my page[00:02:59]
Reminisce on days past days past[00:03:01]
Holding on but it just won't last[00:03:03]
It's like I sit back and I wait for it to happen[00:03:06]
And when I look over it seems like everybody's laughing[00:03:09]
Remember high school[00:03:11]
When people asked where you see yourself in five years[00:03:12]
Your type of career[00:03:15]
A doctor a lawyer maybe a cop[00:03:16]
A CEO if you're the type to try to make it to the top[00:03:18]
Work for the state and not go to college[00:03:21]
And try to get by on this real world knowledge[00:03:24]
Join the army to pay for school[00:03:27]
But see anything that you avoid just ain't cool[00:03:29]
Now it's CL baby and everything is gravy[00:03:31]
Been around for a minute now you can't phase me[00:03:34]
Life is love so love your life[00:03:37]
Once a lifetime doesn't happen twice[00:03:39]
Live today because today we live[00:03:42]
Live to love and love how you live[00:03:45]
This world gives you nothing for nothing[00:03:47]
Gotta stand tall stand for something[00:03:50]
When it comes down it goes around[00:03:52]
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground[00:03:56]
But I stay right no shame self-made[00:03:58]
Going on my page[00:04:01]
Reminisce on days past days past[00:04:03]
Holding on but it just won't last[00:04:05]
This world gives you nothing for nothing[00:04:08]
Gotta stand tall stand for something[00:04:10]
When it comes down it goes around[00:04:13]
It's hard to keep your feet on the ground[00:04:16]
But I stay right no shame self-made[00:04:19]
Going on my page[00:04:22]
Reminisce on days past days past[00:04:23]
Holding on but it just won't last[00:04:26]
Yo man this world gives you nothing for nothing[00:04:29]
No fronting[00:04:33]
Go out and get yours know what I'm saying[00:04:35]
