A1 Beanz - Trials & Tribulations Lyrics

Through all the trials and tribulation, yeah
Through all the trials and tribulations I've been steady elevatin'
They hopin' I'd be down in the dumps, but look, I made it
And when my family turned foe, I couldn't take it
But once the deed done, it's done, you can't erase it

I was really down bad, tryna hold my head up
Mental state of depression, it's still I had to man up
It done been eight months and I ain't have no mail come
Feel like my folks and them forgot, and I can't even blame them
Lately I've been talking to God more than ever
I pray that he blessin' over every single endeavor
Whatever your circumstances, hope it change for the better
I know the world sittin' on your shoulder, just keep your head up
Look, and I ain't been the same since they threw me in a cell
He too friendly with the COs, type of nigga that tell
Cost a cool quarter mill just for me to make bail
Fuck it, I'm a function right up in this county jail
I knew the blicky had a body, but I bought it on sale
Re-adjust the bag, the numbers glitchin' on the scale
School of hard knocks, it's the ghetto version of Yale
I don't wanna hear advice if you ain't showing for yourself
Feel like the releast nigga left

Through all the trials and tribulations I've been steady elevatin'
They hopin' I'd be down in the dumps, but look, I made it
And when my family turned foe, I couldn't take it
But once the deed done, it's done, you can't erase it
I was wishin' people well, they was prayin' that I fail
If I call you my brother, my loyalty not for sale
And I ain't have the help, so I made a happen for self
Downplayin' my success, but you sittin' up on the shelf
That's somethin' I never felt, nah

Didn't I tell you it was levels to this game
If I don't make it rappin', I package it whole thangs
Look, we got it out the gutter, the struggle is everyday
I'm stressed out, so I'm indulgin' in substance to medicate
The subject is still the same, money over everything
That's the reason why the friendship failed, over some change
Niggas movin' backwards, they goin' against the grain
It's a risky occupation, don't put yourself in a grave
A sticky situation, we caught him around the way
Packed his ass out, we could've shot him in his face, though
A1 Beanz, I'm the sinner with all the sayso
Hit him up, then catch an early flight so I can lay-low
Stayed down till I came up, nigga, case closed
When opportunity meet preparation, that's a bankroll
Niggas say I ain't solidified, he ain't sobber
I'm Kobe in fourth quarter, I'm the motherfuckin' closer

Through all the trials and tribulations I've been steady elevatin'
They hopin' I'd be down in the dumps, but look, I made it
And when my family turned foe, I couldn't take it
But once the deed done, it's done, you can't erase it
I was wishin' people well, they was prayin' that I fail
If I call you my brother, my loyalty not for sale
And I ain't have the help, so I made a happen for self
Downplayin' my success, but you sittin' up on the shelf
That's somethin' I never felt, nah
