"If You Knew What It Took" lyrics

You have no idea what it take
Hard work

If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
If you knew what it took

All them nights in platinum, throwing up the cash
Studio session after session I get it back
All them trips we took, now I put money on your book
All them licks I hit so I can invest in my hits

If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
I lost a baby mama and a good girl behind that

I'm standing in the middle of the rain
Trying to wash off this pain
And when them drops stopped
That's when I come to my senses and I finally realized
I'm scarred for life, and fuck the hype I go hard for life
Ain't it precious, I'm thankful
For every second I'm in the leather room
My phone up, acting like a piston
You so caught in the present
You don't wanna stay down for your prison
You 'bout that drama, drama, I want that llama, llama
Behind these raps behind that trap I ask my baby mama
Go see my vision, my dreams maybe too big for you
You better thank God every day I had a kid by you

All them nights in platinum
Throwing up the cash
Studio session after session I hit it back
All them trips we took, now I put money on your book
All them licks I hit so I can invest in my hits

If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
I lost a baby mama and a good girl behind that

I'm standing in the middle of the rain
Trying to hide the tears running down my face
And when them drops stopped
I come to my senses and I go hard for my block
Kirkwood for life, Lil Mexico I got so many stripes
I coulda went to war twice and came back nice
With a few scratches all I need is some green plastic
And I go morherfucking get that cash
I'm a survivor, with plenty fashion
And a whole lot of soul with my voice raspy
I'm gonna try to spit my lung up
When the sun down 'til it come up, find a way to come up

All them nights in platinum
Throwing up the cash
Studio session after session I hit it back
All them trips we took, now I put money on your book
All them licks I hit so I can invest in my hits

If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
If you knew what it took
You would work for everything you get
I lost a baby mama and a good girl behind that
