Retire My Jersey

Everybody ain’t gon' be there when your dreams come true\nSome don’t really even believe, just wanna see if you lose\nI learned to see for myself, I sold by seeing it through\nLanded at noon, I got straight to it, I plan on leavin' at two\nYou could say I did it out of love, the only reason I moved, no pride\nI never changed, but you can’t say I ain’t tried\nI’m sure I made some bad investments, bad karma’s the worst\nAnd that was sittin' on my spirit when I started this verse\nYeah, I feel the more selfish the harder I work\nPardon me, I put my heart in this, but the pain came first\nI took all the risks, I can’t say it ain’t worth it\nAll of the losses, I can’t say it ain’t hurt me\nTake the good with the bad, either way, I deserve it\nSome nights, I can’t even sleep, most days, I’m wakin' up early\nWasn’t supposed to make it to thirty, I got tired of that sermon\nGot on my grind, it was urgent, I’ma make 'em retire my jersey (Lito)\nI’ma make 'em retire my jersey\nThe pain came first, yeah, man\nYeah\nGot on my grind, it was urgent, I’ma make 'em retire my jersey\nPut me in the rafters, you should’ve been an actor\nIf you been through a fraction, you wouldn’t have been a factor\nLook, you don’t know the half, I always been a benefactor\nI dreamt of hittin' licks since back when Vinnie was a rapper\nI really wasn’t a rapper, I was more of a hooper\nFast-forward, I’m duckin' the task force and the state troopers\nBack when we used to smack boys, who knew I’d be a shooter?\nBetter work on your defense 'cause they gon' proscute you\nYou ain’t even really gotta have no opps, nigga, the cops’ll shoot you\nGet in this bitch, just rap, don’t stop, picked it up watchin' Gucci\nPlus I studied Wayne, wanted to be like Hov\nLove Pac and Pimp C the most\nIn the airport, they calll me the GOAT\nWhen I’m in the mirror, feel like I’m seeing ghosts\nSaid enough, let 'em read the quotes\nLove and hate, shit, I need 'em both\nJoy and pain kept me afloat\nHall of fame when I leave the game\n'Cause I stayed the same, told 'em keep the change\nMatter of fact, I kept the change and I can’t complain\nYeah, I take the credit and the blame\nPut my mind to it, grind through it, I can do anything\nTell no lies, then just fine-tune it, I hope you entertain\nOpen fire, I just hope you minute, not you in it, man\nEmotions, pride, that don’t mix with business, I seen friendships change\nAnd shall return from whence it came (Karma is real)\n(Beat those drums)
