[Chorus 2x]
You could be blind
But you gon see it when you need to see it
You gon be fine
Cause you gon be here when you need to be here
One of a kind
First free your mindand then you ll free your spirit
Go where I godog in my life

[Verse 1]
Now if you start with dirtthen you start with hurt
You start with "Ohyou ain t got?"
Well heretake my shirt
Start with workblood and tears over the years
Goin through whatever we go throughwe stickin it out here
Pups turn into dogstadpoles into frogs
I m just eatin what s in front of meain t thinking about yours
But I ma keep my paws on what s mine
Beg til I find
Strapped til I m blind
A nigga that whatever I dostill gon be able to spit this
I m wit this cause this is mineyou scared shitless
Rap niggas can t fuck with the dog
Nevercould be twenty below outside
I m built for the weather
It could be hotter than lavaI wouldn t bother to sweat
Some of you niggasform a followingbut you startin to forget
I paid my duesnot only did you not wear
But you would really love it
If you could meet that cat that made my shoes
C mon!

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 2]
Now seewhat I do is peep shitkeep shit low
Keep paying attention to what you trying to show me
Livin but you never knowwe livin
Don t give me what you don t owe me
Don t tell me that you love me
Don t talk shitdon t kill me slowly
Cause a dog like meis an only
Meaninghit another like youtruth hurtsbut I can t be phony
You always looking for badlook at you mad
But you won t be satisfied til it took what you had
(Aight) I m a thoro niggaI keep my word
And anybody that s ever met megot love for me
So I keep a heard
And that shit y all niggas told me got me fucked up in the head
Went from"Yothat s my dog"
To"Yeahthat nigga dead"
What the fuck is all this?
News to me
Dog it s like shit ain t what it used to be
See some niggas choose to be on the other side of the fence
Keep riding with thisget fried in the mix
C mon!

[Chorus 2x]

[Verse 3]
Now if it ain t thatthen don t say that
Cause I don t play thaty all play that
But the poke ain t blackdamnwhy you say that?
I thought that...what?
NevermindI just thought it
We supposed to keep it real
I destroy what I was taught
Miserylovecompany
Now you niggas talikin bout jumpin mepumpin me
Full of slugsbloodstud with the love
DamnI just gavewhat a realnigga does
Don t listen to the buzzdon t get caught up in the hype
You ll lose everything that you worked for
Trying to take a nigga s stripes
Live life through lifeand so on and so on
That s when the grow onmanget your flow on
You niggas gettin too old for this kid shit
On the realwe all done did shit to get shit
Snake shitright is betterwrong is wrong
