[Intro]
Back like a running back
(Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, that's probably Tago)
(Ced did this, ho)
Life is precious, but it's short
For sure, it's short for sure, you know?
Hah
Shout out my country boy down there doin' his thing
Mmm, uh
[Chorus]
Life is precious, but it's short
Pray y'all get yours, let's take this long road home
Seems I got it figured out, I don't
I just keep learning as I go
Unc told me get the money and stay out the way
Jeezy told me, "No hard feelings, homie, do your thing"
Gotti done told me, "Stay focused, youngin, use your brain"
And the things that Brock told me, I'll take to my grave (Nah, for real)
I'll take it to my grave
[Verse]
I think it's crazy that from the time you get born, you only know what someone taught you
Wonder if they to blame for all the pain that it brought you
And it's a shame, 'cause what you learn is the only thing you got to offer
And life is like a chess game, 'cause one wrong move, it could cost your
Whole life, the blink of an eye
I been dying to live, we living to die
They told me, "Rod, get out your feelings and get back in your bag"
Guess they want some happy music, but this life too fuckin' sad
I guess they wanna hear me brag about some shit they never had
About some way that I don't feel, life too fuckin' real
Rest in peace my nigga Brock, I been so disconnected
By the time I got your message, you was already resting (Fuck)
[Chorus]
Life is precious, but it's short
Pray y'all get yours, let's take this long road home (Yeah)
Seems I got it figured out, I don't (I don't)
I just keep learning as I go (I go)
Unc told me get the money and stay out the way (Stay out the way, homie)
Jeezy told me, "No hard feelings, homie, do your thing" (Do your thing, oh)
Gotti done told me, "Stay focused, youngin, use your brain"
And the things that Brock told me, I'll take to my grave (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I'll take it to the grave)
I'll take it to my grave (I'll take it to my grave with me, yeah, yeah)
I'll take it to my grave (To the grave with me, I'll take it to the grave with me)
Ooh (Yeah, yeah)
I'll take it to the grave (To the grave with me, I'll take it to the grave with me, yeah, yeah)
I'll take it to my grave
I'll take it to my
[Outro]
If you thuggin' your whole life, you gon', you gon', you gon' be thuggin', you feel me?
You know what I'm sayin'? That's why, that's why babies when they born speak English, don't speak Spanish
'Cause whatever you learn is what you know
That's what it is
Take what you learn, that energy, keep it movin'
You know what I'm sayin'? Try to, try to, try to filter all the good shit from the, you know what I'm sayin', the bad shit, and just
Take the other shit to the grave with you, see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Back like a running back
