AT WHAT COST? Lil Mabu

[Intro]
Hahaha

[Chorus]
Say no more and all good things end, we all heard that one Before
Whoever said that shit better prepare for a war
'Cause I'm good, I'll pass it on to generations and more
As I should, 'cause I'm here, it ain't no stoppin' of course
I started dancin' with my pen, I made the paper my floor
I'm 'bout to be carryin' the game, I better strengthen my core
Are you happy where you at? I said "No bueno, señor"

[Verse]
If I knew my time was comin', then I'd bе waitin' too (I'd be waitin' too)
Dead or alive, I swеar to God I'll make it through (I'll make it through)
I lost my brothers to this shit, look to the sky and I salute
I look my brother in his eyes, I almost cried, I miss you too (I miss you too)
I needed help, they slammed the door
Now I don't need shit, they offer favors like I'm poor (Favors like I'm poor)
I'm speedin' fast, hope I don't crash
I see red lights and I don't slow, I hope I make it home (Lights and I don't slow)
Can't help but look around and say this where I, this where I belong
Yeah, but at what cost?
Should I have spent time with friends instead of bein' a boss?
Should I have put down the mic and maybe take up lacrosse?
I been tryna find myself, and now my childhood's lost
Wish I could put myself in ice, hope I never defrost
I'm tryna call my younger years, but they won't answer my call at all
I love my fam', but it's not showin' at all
I ain't been playin' catch with pops or chasin' after a ball, oh God
Wait a minute, I do this for myself
I do this for the people who ain't wanna wish me well
So, I, I gotta stay focused, I can't get knocked off my track
I do this for my so-called friends, hatin' behind my back
And those same people be congratulatin' me lately
"Oh my God Mabu, it's so impressive, you've been goin' crazy"
I just smile and shake they hand, it's kinda funny man
Always knew my biggest haters would be my biggest fans
