45 DAYZ

I spent 45 days in a cell it was hell I've been trying to get back on my feet Remember days I was stuck at the bottom Was starving I didn't have no money to eat We was out on the field with no cleats Taking the trips from the west to the east Holding the iron to fix any crease If you cross me you're gonna need more than a priest See I was down on knees, I was talking to God I swear I got too many questions It's too easy to see that this life is so hard Why didn't you make it like heaven? See they dealt me a hand But I shuffled the cards I control what I am destined Turned this rap ting into my profession Just look at the time Im investing I was down on the ground like a midget But now I be stacking my money so high Pour a four on the floor When I think of my pops Blow a kiss when I look to the sky Since he passed I've been lost I won't lie I looked at my momma right dead in her eye I told her don't cry We're gonna be fine I know I'm a star so it's time that I shine Told dem niggas round there don't play I'm tryna get that dough like pastries I've been grinding way too Long I pray this rap shit pays me I was out there on my own Tryna make a movie like Scorsese I need my bread as long as jay Z's I told me I'll blow they said that im crazy I've been down for so long Out of my zone 45 days to atone Now I'm back and I'm on Yeah I'm back and I'm grown I had to go for the throne Know they did me so wrong Now they keep calling my phone I told them just leave me alone I buried my bones I left the past moving on I put all the pain in the songs Yeah Don't sleep don't slack Don't lack don't play Coz Niggas round here don't play fair It's bleak it's Dark It's black not grey This trap life isn't like Mayfair We deep don't try to act all brave Coz we know that talk is straight air Your name don't hold no weight here Go M.I.A Just stay clear See they tried to turn off my lights Had my eyes wide shut when they read my rights 45 days I was sitting on ice Coz I took i risk and I paid that price I'll Still take that risk coz I won't live twice Hold em' up blow shake and I roll that dice I remember the days I was on push bikes Now I'm pushing the whips yeah the foreign types See I buried the hatch But I can't forget the days that they tried to talk down on me See I buried the hatch My only revenge is to stunt on these niggas that frowned on me So I stunt, I ball like an Athlete Still killing the beats with mad ease Still fucking the finest bad B's I just pray I repent for my bad deeds I've been down for so long Out of my zone 45 days to atone Now I'm back and I'm on Yeah I'm back and I'm grown I had to go for the throne Know they did me so wrong Now they keep calling my phone I told them just leave me alone I buried my bones I left the past moving on I put all the pain in the songs Yeah Don't sleep don't slack Don't lack don't play Coz Niggas round here don't play fair It's bleak it's Dark It's black not grey This trap life isn't like Mayfair We deep don't try to act all brave Coz we know that talk is straight air Your name don't hold no weight here Go M.I.A Just stay clear Don't sleep don't slack Don't lack don't play Coz Niggas round here don't play fair It's bleak it's Dark It's black not grey This trap life isn't like Mayfair We deep don't try to act all brave Coz we know that talk is straight air Your name don't hold no weight here Go M.I.A Just stay clear
