Niggas pray and pray on my downfall, But every time I hit the ground I bounce up like round ball
I love you so, But why I love you, I'll never know.
Boxing is a glorious sport to watch and boxers are incredible, heroic athletes, but it's also, to be honest, a stupid game to play. Even the winners can end up with crippling brain damage. In a lot of ways, hustling is the same. But you learn something special from playing the most difficult games, the games where winning is close to impossible and losing is catastrophic: You learn how to compete as if your life depended on it. That's the lesson I brought with me to the so-called "legitimate" world.
May the best of your today's be the worst of your tomorrow's
Nine to five is how ya survive, I ain't trying to survive I'm trying to live it to the limit and love it alive
I got mouths to feed til they put flowers on me.
The genius thing that we did was, we didn't give up.
I look in the mirror, my only opponent

Males shouldnt be jealous. Thats a female trait.
Only God can judge me so I'm gone, either love me or leave me alone.
Life is a gift, love opens it up.
Their gunnin' for me, want to see me fall, you know my story, been through it all, times I felt like dyin', but I ain't cryin', what didn't kill me, makes me strong as iron.
