T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, brother, your ass is gone
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, sister, your ass is gone
I got trapped in the rap game at sixteen
And saw it's no more than a crap game, know what I mean?
Like when you feel you shake 'em right
And they fake and roll snake eyes
In this industry, that's how quick niggas die
Through my eyes, it's like Russian roulette
Never do you know when you about to get wet
So you should stay set so you don't fall or go under
Have people sayin': I wonder what happened to him or her
It's sad when you begin to think
You can't be gone, but you can be gone in the blink of an eye
Don't ask why, 'cause you tried
Somebody came along that was twice as fly
I remember when I hit the scene, it was the second phase
Rope chains, two-finger rings, those were the days
Latin Quarters, my Puma suit was cool
Now let me be caught in that and I'll be damned a fool
You gotta change with the times, like the weather
An MC that lasts is an MC that's clever
You can't move too slow
'Cause when it's your time to go, you see, it's your time to go
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, brother, your ass is gone
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, sister, your ass is gone
Comeback after comeback
Nigga came back more wack than the wackest wax on the rack
What's up with that?
New jacks are comin' through, takin' no slack
They hungry and they lookin' for a spot
To pop or squat, you better watch the clock
It can be awfully embarrassin' to not know when it's time
To let go of the rhyme
It's about half-past a monkey's ass, you shoulda been gone
But you still tryna hang on
What happens when you chillin' at the label on the tenth floor?
Nobody knows your name anymore
Aren't you, um, wait, let me think
Just as quick as you got large, you could quickly shrink and sink
Into the crates and collect dust
Don't be mad, 'cause it happens to the best of us
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, brother, your ass is gone
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, sister, your ass is gone
To and fro, they come and go
You better change your flow and then switch up your show
I seen some come with the boomin'-ass hits
Then they gone, but then they don't leave with shit
You better tell an exec you need to be set so when it's over
You ain't livin' out your Land Rover
When your rap life dies and you still alive
Nigga, you better know how to survive
It ain't easy and it ain't supposed to be
Lettin' niggas know what time it is when it comes to me
The L-Y-T-E, stronger than the ox
Or the octane that knocks in your brain
I sustain, my mission is to maintain sane
Know what I mean? Keep doin' my thing, mm
You can't move too slow
'Cause when it's your time to go, you gotta go, gotta go
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, brother, your ass is gone
T-R-G, we makin' that cream
People get fooled, it ain't as easy as it seems
You can rock on to the break of dawn
But one day, sister, your ass is gone
