All Or Nuthin'

[Verse 1: David Stones] We got so much shit that we could cry about But we just ride it out I remember many days in the house hiding out Cause I ain't have shit to wear Some say you shouldn't care but they never felt the stares It's clear they never felt despair Or the wear and tear of being broke so many years I remember being young thinking life ain't fair When your peers stay fly how the fuck you compare I don't wanna hit the trap cause I know that's it's lethal And, I ain't tryna' poison my people But it's not too many options they leave you Dear God talk to me big homie I need you I'm down for whatever and my homies as well but my only fear is going to hell Some say we already there cause from heaven we fell Well shit, I don't know I'm just tryna excel [Hook: David Stones] Last night I had a vision I woke up looking at the world different Gotta free my mind from this prison It's all or nuthin' I ain't asking for permission I had to make a decision to follow through on my intuition Cause last night I had a vision I woke up looking at the world different [Verse 2: David Stones] Ayo I'm riding through the 'Ville bumping some Meek Mill, Kendrick and Big K.R.I.T Some real shit I could feel With a bad chick on her knowledge of self shit Who just put me on to K'La the Lyricist I heard somebody say: "Yo, who is he tho?" Real talk Then somebody else replied: "That's the future of New York!" Yea that's right I got these haters all distraught Because I paid the cost to be the boss what the fuck these niggas thought I debuted in '06 You must be on that thing you sniff if you think I just got poppin' overnight Shit Man this game is full of fake-ness Sometimes I feel I'm so real I won't make it A artist used to be somebody blessed with a gift Now it's all about the best marketing and most tricks First they try to diss Then they see you build a buzz and they all up on your dick man, they make me sick [Hook: David Stones] [Verse 3: David Stones] If you real then I see you dog The other 95 percent I can't fuck with y'all Naw, I could never put my trust in yaw Cause I know them evils done corrupted y'all I never chased the fame I was outrunning the pain Dodging the ordinary steady looking for a change People told me: "Ayo David you insane, it's a million fucking rappers how you gon' get in the game?" I stayed focused just mastering my lane Back when me and Styxx kept each other on our A game If you hating then you should be ashamed cause a haters just a lame looking for someone to blame Ayo I came from the bottom I ain't have shit Not even a fucking mattress Sleeping on the couch at my aunt house If section 8 found out every-fucking-body getting kicked out Word up and that's real shit Something that I really had to deal with My pride made me hide and conceal it Stressed out Got me ready to kill shit Thoughts on my mind Notepad full of rhymes But not a motherfucking dime for some studio time The life of a nigga unsigned The devil made some offers but I always declined Ayo I'm just freeing my mind Taking my time got me feeling like I'm falling behind I know the only way to be great is stay on your grind But damn how long is this line? Please show me a sign This recession got a motherfucking stressing I know it's all part of life lessons Like everybody else I had some questions But my faith is so strong it kept me from second guessing These niggas tryna' block my blessings but every second that I don't shine I spend perfecting I know what I want and I ain't settling ot budging Cause this time around it's all or nuthin'
