Seasons - T.I. feat Sam Hook
[Dave Chappelle:]
All my life all I wanted to do was be great
If the stakes are everything, you'll tell yourself anything you need to hear to survive
Everything I say is the truth and that's a lie
And that's the motherf_cking truth
[T.I.:]
Hmm, remember all I ever wanted was a gold chain and a ride worth 400 plus
Revenge paid to anybody who dishonor us
I'm sensei to them young n_ggas under us
Been a made man, look what I done made, man is you kiddin'?
When trap n_gga needed a way, who did it?
Every song I gave you had some truth in it
Givin' you the pudding, look at it, the proof in it
Went from servin' junkies in hoopties to new Bentley
These s_ckas just be jumpin' through hoops and they too friendly
That's why I don't politic they said
They all cool it just that I don't f_ck with' n_gga much
The chain numbers ain't no need for us to keep in touch
We want fame and we'll be tryna hit them n_ggas up
I'm stand off, I swear I walk in rooms, be listenin' to y'all talkin'
See that you ain't talkin' 'bout sh_t and I start walkin'
Hey, cause I ain't here to waste time
Don't wanna put energy in no lame n_gga
I don't want no lame n_gga takin' mine
But you wanna ball, I could show you how
You like a broad? I could teach you how to turn her out
Show you how to buy 'em low and sell 'em high
But don't assume that it's all that I know about
A made me, a D and D, that's while I raise kid
I got married and f_cked it up, that what fame did
Marriage counselor tell me focus on what the pain did
To busy focusin', tryna do what Jay and Dame did
I'm on a path; I got a purpose, to reach a destination
And either you helpin' me get to it or you in the way
[Sam Hook:]
Hope they wasn't lyin' when they said it all comes back around, baby
Stuck up here, tryin' to let you go but it's such a long way down
But if it's still a Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, well I'm still breathin'
If there's something I can say before you finish leavin'
And if everything still happens for a reason, maybe you come back around just like the seasons
Like the seasons
[T.I.:]
I'm so extreme, never been a man of moderation
See, subtlety just ain't my cup of tea
Don't want my grass green, I want the lobby decorated
And last thing I need somebody sayin' I never make it
Don't give a damn, you can catch me with whoever naked
Still some forms of disrespect, I ain't gon' never take it
Even with my vocabulary, can't explain it
I'm sorry what you thought I was, I just ain't there
Get it why you say I ain't sh_t, big will keep rollin' though
Holdin' up the block, doin' such and such with so and so
Que sera, sera
Cure it with a hundred million party like it's Marti Gras
Got some bad Latino with' me, they some laddi daddi das
See, you said they be hatin', I say send 'em my regards
Bury it under T and A, I call that R&R
Tryna get some stripes on me, that's how you start a war
I been practicin' my reaction to n_ggas come with stupid sh_t
F_ck out my face, man, the conversation over with
Done talkin'
Was that-was that good, for real?

[Dave Chappelle & T.I.:]
I'm not promisin' to be perfect but I'll try my best to be great
This ain't no game, this a mother f_ckin' trap
This ain't no game, this a mother f_ckin' trap
