Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

Here we go (here we go)

Trouble, tr-trouble

I never asked to be born and death′s no question

The sun's still shining off the same old lessons

Then why does life feel like an educated guess and

My thoughts are like meals, I′m a sucker for the seconds

Impressions got a lot of us stressing

But how we are perceived is more about a reflection

And the reception's warm that I receive

Which leads me to believe these hoes like what I heave

Tall women in heels, tour money and deals

Off the no bull I like all money for real

More time abroad and less time at home

Less time for broads and more time in zones

Yeah, I'm in it while flying out of another one

This a new beginning, I′m climbing out of the other one

′Cause the dream feel realer than it ever been

And I was aiming high like a nigga being president

The possibilities of that are seeming pretty evident

So being self-employed is not seeming like a definite

But staying that way is what I'm F′ing with

And like-minded people be the only ones I'm messing with

Yo this so real, not knowing what′s ahead but I'ma go there still

Living in the moment, got a hopeless feel

But the feeling in itself got its own appeal

I know I′m attracted to the lights in the distance

The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets

Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking

Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I′ma be alright

I′m trying to get mine in this lifetime

The afterlife is much further in pipeline

I'm inclined to believe that but truth is

That for death any moment is the right time

So I live everyday like it′s my last

But I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass

A Pharoah on the subway

You never dreamed of jets but fell asleep on the runways

I just knew that one day, that anything I needed I could mold

Get everything you want, it ain't always good for the soul

A mix of self worth, some help, a little control

And I don′t know the rest, good as mine is your guess

The recipe it ain't the best, to make it though is our quest

And if you choose to accept, the meaning of life is yes

′Cause only God knows, those of us in the flesh get the privilege to test

Some will fail, some will pass

We all get the same grade though when we run the path

How you grade yourself is the mark that matters most

To separate the heart of the strong and the battered folks

Have a dose

Ayo this so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still

Living in the moment, got a hopeless feel

But the feeling in itself got its own appeal

I know I′m attracted to the lights in the distance

The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets

Excited by the risk and the chances I′m taking

Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I′ma be alright

Ayo, shit so real, I kill shit to live nigga, schizo feel

I got a hunger for knowledge and I miss no meals

I stay high off life and I miss no pills

I'm addicted to the thrill of walking along the edge

Not knowing what lays ahead but always knowing the deal

I′m good with my decisions, the setbacks and gains

It's all a part of the game, I′m ready to spin the wheel

Whatever is in store, I'm ready for, for sure

The attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor

The balance is the challenge and I sit so still

Between callous and analysis but this no frill

I'm off the chain, been that way since slaves to Flav

From ′93 ′til infinity I'm slated in ways

That′s etched in stone

The age where we market ourselves

I'm still all about the music, I don′t monitor plays

I don't monitor hits and I don′t monitor clicks

I monitor the snare drum and the bottom of kicks

Is anybody left that still fuck with this true shit?

Well let me hear you scream over top of this CRU shit

Ayo this so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still

Living in the moment, got a hopeless feel

But the feeling in itself got its own appeal

I know I′m attracted to the lights in the distance

The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets

Excited by the risk and the chances I′m taking

Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I′ma be alright
