Had to leave a little bit

Grow a little bit

Now I rise, on the way up

And I was taught so many lessons

Yeah, yeah I learned so many lessons

I'm living proof that we all goin' through sh!t

When you come up fast

Everything that you workin' for, won't seem to last

Man I learned too many lessons

Yeah I learned too many lessons, yeah

Learned so many lessons

Every day that you wake up (Wake up)

Make sure you pray before startin' your day 'cause (Day)

Tomorrow ain't promised (No)

Today is a gift, so don't waste away

Call and tell someone you love 'em

Show somebody that you been thinkin' of 'em

It ain't about romance, it could really be your last chance

Turn off your cellphone (Oh, oh)

Give yourself sometime to think and be alone

How can you be about your business

Hanging 'round niggas with no business

So many people in show business got nothin' to show for (No, no)

Ride out your jeans and just go for it (Go for it)

Now they turn to one, it's your turn

As the spectators watchin' you grind

Really hopin' that you don't get more shine than 'em

Those kinds of friends, are really your enemies

I read these little philosophies

Took a minute to get into me, and that's 'cause

Had to leave a little bit

Grow a little bit

Now I rise, on the way up

And I was taught so many lessons

Yeah, yeah I learned so many lessons

I'm living proof that we all goin' through sh!t

When you come up fast

Everything that you workin' for, won't seem to last

Man I learned too many lessons

Yeah I learned too many lessons, yeah

Learned so many lessons

You know the ones who really down for you

Are the ones who feel you when you down

Look out for them niggas who playin'

Loyalty ain't nowhere to be found

Fxck with the ones who ain't afraid of

Callin' you out on your bullsh!t

That's the ones who showin' real love

That's the niggas you can build with

Always keep you right (Oh, oh)

Only thing you really got it on this Earth

Don't let no one treat you less than what you're worth

Being selfish ain't the same as puttin' your first

(Oh)

Survival of the fittest (Oh)

Know that your haters love to hate you

Really no matter what it is

Now they turn to one, it's your turn

As the spectators watchin' you grind (You grind)

Really hopin' that you don't get more shine than 'em (Them)

Those kinds of friends (Friends), are really your enemies (Enemies)

I read these little philosophies (Yeah)

Took a minute to get into me, and that's 'cause

Had to leave a little bit

Grow a little bit

Now I rise, on the way up

And I was taught so many lessons

Yeah, yeah I learned so many lessons

I'm living proof that we all goin' through sh!t

When you come up fast

Everything that you workin' for, won't seem to last

Man I learned too many lessons

Yeah I learned too many lessons, yeah

Learned so many lessons
