(Cook that up Quay)
(Woo-hoo)
We been too lit, we been too true
Ain't no fraud (Ain't no fraud)
I go too lit
I go two ton on these bars (Two ton on these bars)
I can't quit, I'm too legit
I gotta keep going (I keep going)
I gotta get it, I keep scoring
Gotta keep going (Yeah)
Quarter backing (Uh)
Pitching them packs, they tryna sack me
If they catch me lackin' (Woo)
Lock me up inside a dragon (Yeah-yeah)
Belly of the beast, swallowed my cousin, I got the keys (Yeah-yeah)
We never had no daddy
Daddy was running the streets
Still we made it out the pit
Thirty clips, get you hit
My whole clique still 1-1-6
In your hood like it's '06
Keep my hand up on my hip
Pray to God nobody trip
Hit you with that truth
It turn a sinner saint inside a minute
(Woo-hoo)
We been too lit, we been too true
Ain't no fraud (Ain't no fraud)
I go too lit
I go two ton on these bars (Two ton on these bars)
I can't quit, I'm too legit
I gotta keep going (I keep going)
I gotta get it, I keep scoring
Gotta keep going (Yeah)
I was down at the bottom, got it out the mud (Mmm-hmm)
Kept it going even when they never showed me love (Mmm-hmm)
Momma said would it come a time I would struggle (Mmm-hmm)
Keep your hands to the ceiling when you see the trouble (Mmm-hmm)
Run that, run that
We just running up the score
Come back, come back
This my season, hit my goals
I can't quit, I've come too far to let it go (Woo-hoo)
Told all my partnas, hold your head until we home
We never quit, we just do it till death
I ain't gon' go till no life in my breath
After they carry and bury me
Tell them don't worry
I'll be back to finish my reps
I don't care what all them critics are saying
I been to hell and back, I know the plan
When you survive what we been through, you come back on ten
You ain't never gone see it the same
(Woo-hoo)
We been too lit, we been too true
Ain't no fraud (Ain't no fraud)
I go too lit
I go two ton on these bars (Two ton on these bars)
I can't quit, I'm too legit
I gotta keep going (I keep going)
I gotta get it, I keep scoring
Gotta keep going (Yeah)
I was down at the bottom, got it out the mud (Mmm-hmm)
Kept it going even when they never showed me love (Mmm-hmm)
Momma said would it come a time I would struggle (Mmm-hmm)
Keep your hands to the ceiling when you see the trouble (Mmm-hmm)
I was down at the bottom, got it out the mud (Mmm-hmm)
Kept it going even when they never showed me love (Mmm-hmm)
Momma said would it come a time I would struggle (Mmm-hmm)
Keep your hands to the ceiling when you see the trouble (Mmm-hmm)
