Featuring Ea$y Money & Freeway
(Intro)
It ain't easy but I try
Every day is a constant battle
Oh to do right
To progress as a man
Or to fight
Statik Selektah
Uh, listen
(Verse)
Ayo it's hard not to kill niggas
Just like a full-time dog not to peel triggers
Bag up and move raw, tryin to build figures
But I learned when it's hard you get a little bigger, the Lord is still wit ya
Real spit so often I will get turned up
You're saucy and then you're corrupt
Just often and then return
I get this feeling up inside, it torture me and it burn up
I'm scorchin, it's like a furnace
It force me to get the burner but
I'm older and I'm smarter so I just turn a cheek
To the bullshit, knocked it off, I became a learner
If it ain't bout moving forward it don't concern us
But if you need lyrics to Lord then I'm at your service
Man I thought I lived the life real ?cause I like still
Kept the ice grill to see who face was meaner
But nowadays this negative energy could be so contagious
I gotta keep some space between us
Positive energy like a boomerang
I send it out, put it in God's hands and let him do a stand
No more tryin to stress bricks to impress chicks
?Cause I just keep you in a box like some fresh kicks
I'm tryin to be amongst the illest of rhymers
I'm no longer the kid who was fillin them 9's up
Wait, I gotta go and cop the steel and remind yous
Nah, I just kill em with kindness, spread love not war
Love? war
This is love
Hell no, this is war
(Verse)
It's hard not to kill niggas
It's like a full-time job not to kill niggas
?Cause I'm a real nigga
I'm from where they leave bodies and pose the blood
Riddled with bullets like the hospital view niggas
No feel, nigga
Down the street from Richard
I only had a couple hundred thousands a night before the deal nigga
From the ville, nigga
A house niggas, you a house nigga, I'm a feel nigga
Always talk dramatic but I put down the ratchet and I
Got with Statik to build, nigga
Wise men build and destroy to build buildings
Crash a plane in your time will force a new beginning
And I hope you be in it
Have you on the nigga news, UPN and Channel 6, it's ya news
Then I break Seagal off the Comptom cruise
Snatch my boy out until the one and good afternoon
I was told by one of the greatest that you got the best caine
Is can another throw it after you
Do what you can do like you can do
Them boys hate to boof you from the roof
Parts untangable, flows untenable
Yall niggas can't kill me, your gun's unaimable
And love so long so bring the watcher
I done sent the engine with duck
Then snatch my soul, yall can't clap the board
I keep cash, gave cost harassment case
Kids kidnap me, kids can get at me
And then keep straps on when them kids bring me back
They trap em and then they clap em
Dirtnap em and I still show em compassion
Order em caskets
Twitter they bastards, take em to classes
Get them they masters, dissin on the Statik, let's go

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
