[Verse 1: Footsie]
I'm living on a slippery slope
And trust me, the slope is slippery
I'm doing a move and I've gotta move quick
I'm doing a move and I've gotta move nifty
Gotta mind out cause the feds might shift me
In my boot, I'm holding fifty years
Someone say fifty prayers
Hope Selassie hears
And I'm living in a world where no one cares
And no one fears for the next man
So don't try big up your pecks, man
That's an eediat flex, man
Cause I'm on this ting and so is the next man
And I've got a next plan
To go and make Ps and next grands
After that, rudeboy, I've got a next scam

[Verse 2: D Double E]
Back to the hustle, back to the streets
Back to the bars, back to the beats
The things I do to survive
Who knows if I'll make it alive?
Seen pure man died before they reached 25
So you're just telling man "go and do 25"
My daughter's just turned five
Soon a new younger will arrive
[?] it nine till five
Make sure the family bed is live
The things we do to survive
Why'd you think youngers are using knives?
Why'd you think youngers are losing lives?
Niggas in war, yeah, we're living in strive
I'm telling you, it's nothing nice
It's the hustle of life

[Verse 3]
Things I do to just get by
Correct my wrongs, try and set right
I can't just live and let die
Gotta prepare myself for the next life
To survive, I've gotta think better than your chest size
You'd be surprised if you catch me on a respite
Full throttle on a fresh bike
My life ain't a test drive
So I aim for where my nest lies
You ain't done it? I suggest try
Cause it's gonna be your best fight
I'm talking out of this world and you guessed right
That's my last request
That you invest in something
That would bring you past success
