Lyrics for Be The Best
Be the best (Be the best) Be the best (Be the best) And if you do sell coke, better be the best (Be the best) Don't be a small time nigga, better reinvest Huh Yeah Ayo I don't just grab my pistol, it's a must have I stuff cash inside designer dust bags I was down on my luck bad and was up mad Through it all, I never dropped my trust flag You might know my business, but I tell you none I might let you hold a strap, but won't sell you one You leave the house without your strap, where the hell you from? A nigga send me to hell, then to hell you come In the trap house slicin' pies We survived off Chinese, chicken wings, rice and fries Got locked and was quite surprised But you can't cry when you're handcuffed, who gon' wipe your eyes? I was inside writin' scribes My wife would drive hours to see me and be happy despite the ride Had to fight with guys twice my size Left the community and came back with jewelry to enlighten my tribe Like we ain't gotta play the streets (We ain't gotta play the streets) We got other ways to eat (We got other ways to eat) We ain't gotta play the streets (We ain't gotta play the streets) We got other ways to eat (We got other ways to eat) But if you do sell dope, better be the best (Be the best) You will never go broke if you be the best (Be the best) And if you do sell coke, better be the best (Be the best) Don't be a small time nigga, better reinvest Y'all niggas can't tell me nothin' about stackin' Last twenty-four months, I been house hackin' Million cash in my account, that's without rappin' Never thought a nigga could make it without trappin' Few things I figured out when the drought happened We don't have to sell drugs to make this money If I pay taxes, they can't take this from me When you're broke and fucked up, it make your face look funny, huh I ain't with the loud talkin' or the foul barkin' You know how much a trial cost us if they file charges Don't care about a crowd often, the Cal sparkin' Soon as him and his gal walk in the halal market I hopped out when I found parkin' Never ran, even when I exercise, I do mild joggin' Apartments with fifty thou' carpets I don't care where you at, you been a rat like Al Sharpton Like we ain't gotta play the streets (We ain't gotta play the streets) We got other ways to eat (We got other ways to eat) We ain't gotta play the streets (We ain't gotta play the streets) We got other ways to eat (We got other ways to eat) But if you do sell dope, better be the best (Be the best) You will never go broke if you be the best (Be the best) And if you do sell coke, better be the best (Be the best) Don't be a small time nigga, better reinvest
