Always Lyrics by Doc Will

2015

[Verse 1: Doc Will]
I remember so damn vivid
Growing up as a kid I couldn't save a penny
Every 11:11 every wishing well same wishes
Let me have a good Christmas let my daddy out of prison
I ain't felt this hunger in a minute
I ain't felt this hunger since a time that I probably shouldn't mention
People living with us who ain't never want to pitch in
We ain't have a lot of food but we had a lot of dishes
And I know my momma isn't where she'd like to be
And I know she probably wouldn't want this life for me
So I picked up the gun, jumped off the porch
Money on my mind I'm just trying to get more
So I hit the shell store tryna to make a little dough
Asked the hustlers how to get it they said go for what you know

[Hook: Doc Will]
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Went for what we know
And now the world is ours
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
A wise man told me once, "Go for what you know"
But nowadays all the radio playing is Trinidad James
So I guess I'll go for gold, hey

[Verse 2: Doc Will]
First open mic, hope a nigga don't choke
Practice in the mirror like a mother-fucking stripper
It's funny how I gotta tell people about the bitch shit
Just to show the same people I'm a real nigga
I remember sitting on the floor of the bando
About to head home saying prayers with the killers
That's real shit...
Say a prayer for the killers
Smoking on Kisha, chilling with Nina
While listening to J. Cole
Feeling like Kenny Lofton
Which of these niggas gonna carry my coffin
Thoughts of suicide keep occurring too often
Do as I say, not as I do
Big brother telling me "Crime don't sell"
And never be a snitch
Raised in a hood we were taught that so much even time don't tell. Well
But we here now.. Looking at a plaque with it
I should hit up Big Monty just to tell him where we at with it
It feels like it's been forever since you've checked on me
But it's cool, I'm a man now
I understand now, we're all just doing what we can now. For real
And my son's doing well. He's three now
My little man's talking telling daddy exactly what he wanna be now
It feels like yesterday I was with the OGs saying, "What it take to be down?"
They said, "Be yourself young brother." I did. I'm free now

[Chorus: Doc Will]
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
Went for what we know
And now the world is ours
Go for what you know
Go for what you know
A wise man told me once, "Go for what you know"
But now in days all the radio playing is Trinidad James
So I guess I'll go for broke, hey
