Lyrics

I do what I do without thinking twice

I engage in actions without hesitation or second thoughts.

A hard headed juvenile wish I listened to uncle's advice

I'm a stubborn youth, regretful for not heeding my uncle's advice.

Sometimes I wonder is it too late to change

I sometimes question if it's too late for me to change my ways.

But I'm addicted to the game and it feels strange

I'm addicted to the lifestyle, and it feels strange.

It feels like I'm cursed, wondering where my blessings at

I feel cursed, wondering where my blessings are in life.

My homies disappear, just like that

My friends disappear suddenly, leaving me bewildered.

Man, it's crazy, it's insane

Life is crazy and insane.

Like they playing games with my brain

It seems like others are toying with my mind.

While I'm searching for fortune and fame

I'm in pursuit of wealth and fame.

Man, it's hard, tell me do you see

Expressing the difficulty of life, asking if others perceive it.

Life's fucked up, when you living like a G

Life is messed up when living a tough, gangster-like existence.

Trying to maintain, stay strong, while I'm doing wrong

Struggling to maintain strength while engaging in wrongful deeds.

Running from the police on a Tupac song

Fleeing from the police while a Tupac song plays.

It's all I know, I'm doing it since young for sure

My life revolves around the only path I've known since childhood.

No longer stressing, when the police in front of the door

No longer stressed when facing the police at the door.

Family crying, because I'm gone for a while

Despite family sorrow, I'm absent for a while due to my choices.

But still with all the stress, I'm trying to keep a smile

Despite stress, I strive to maintain a positive demeanor and smile.


Smiling but the pain, it's insane

While smiling, the internal pain is intense and overwhelming.

Breaking my brain, trying to maintain

Mentally strained, trying to endure the challenges.

Family crying on the phone, because I ain't at home

Family is distraught over the phone as I'm not at home.

I'm just a youngster, but I'm acting all grown

Despite being young, I act mature beyond my years.

Cause I grew up in a rush, wish that I could slow it down

I grew up quickly and wish I could slow down.

But I can't, so I keep surviving in Schollevaar Town

Surviving in Schollevaar Town despite the rush of life.

Following the footsteps of past dealers and killers

Following the footsteps of past criminals and killers.

Nigguz getting in beef cause they wanna show who the realest

People engage in conflicts to prove their authenticity.

They want the money, the respect and the street fame

Desire for money, respect, and fame in the streets.

Try to make a name in this deep game

Attempting to make a name in the dangerous game.

End up in prison, or under the ground

Outcome: prison, death, or disappearance.

Or be missing cause the body's never been found

The possibility of going missing, with bodies never found.

If you got a chance to make it, then take it

If an opportunity arises, seize it.

And if you got a chance to break the circle then break it

If a chance to break free presents itself, take it.

Or you stay hard headed and make the same mistakes

Choosing to remain stubborn leads to repeated mistakes.

And at the end of the day, see you're homies turn into snakes

Stubbornness results in betrayal by friends turning into enemies.

Smile for me now

Requesting a smile despite the challenging circumstances.


Smile for me now

Would you smile for me now

-

Smile for me

Requesting a smile despite the hardships.

Why won't you smile for me now

Questioning why a smile is difficult to express in the current situation.
