Honest Lyrics by Jthurston

2016

[Intro: Jthurston]
Yeah, it's like these niggas forgot how to hustle
Gotta show em' something
These niggas put in one good hard day of work
Then take 30 days off, what is you doin'?

[Verse 1: Jthurston]
Look, living every day like it's my last one
Praying that my life won't be a fast one
Now they want in on the plan thought you had one
Tell em' my roster full and I ain't tryna add one

Sweat hard, work like an athlete
Pilot talk I ain't ever in the back seat
All these niggas good with making moves in slow-mo
Me I'd rather run it fast like a track meet

Better yet a marathon
Never slowing down for nobody holy bible what I'm swearing on
All my niggas militants, march for me you would think I'm Farrakhan
Took a breather now the king's returned like I'm Arragon

Tell these lazy rappers get they hustle up
Actin' like we neck and neck, really you ain't touching us
When it comes to grinding they can't fuck with us
Worry 'bout yo buckets wanna see the next level put yo trust in us
Newfound

[Chorus: Jthurston]
If you ain't missing sleep every week guarantee bet yo team never get a chance to eat nigga I'm just being honest with you, I'm just being honest with you
Yeah, giving in when the situation's bleak, shit is weak now I know you ain't a beast nigga I'm just being honest with you, I'm just being honest with you

[Verse 2: Jthurston]
I'm on a roll, sleep can come later
Get my energy from those who made it and them naysayers
Sorry I don't chase girls but I chase paper
It'll be plenty of spoils of victory to chase later

But for now my mind on gettin' it
And I don't mean enough to live, no boy I'm talkin' 'bout gettin rich
Rather do this shit legit, than to ever have to flip a brick
Just imagine if you make a million quick off your penmanship

If you got any hustle in your veins you gotta feel this shit
A quick walk through my neighborhood will show you just how real it get
Fuck being employed tryna own our own businesses
And fuck the dope game can't do the risk of life sentences

Instead I'm in the lab blasting beats and writing sentences
A real nigga hustle never finishes
We shooting for a ring you niggas steady playing scrimmages
I promise all my niggas gone be rich before the end of this
Newfound

[Chorus: Jthurston]
You gotta make a plan to get rich otherwise you don't plan on making shit nigga
I'm just being honest with you, I'm just being honest with you
And big things never happen quick
Be thorough on them never chang the script nigga
I'm just being honest with you, I'm just being honest with you

[Verse 3: Flight]
Goal oriented, weed scented and honorable
Never one dimension my niggas been had all kind of flow
First class nigga second place never on the menu
Pops was a minor doing life that's why I fuckin' kill it

Niggas keep jackin' the steez, I'm a fuckin bill you
Heard I don't fuck with so and so mind yo fuckin' business
Do it for the niggas working 9 to 5 in the trenches
Recording in the living room thats how I plan to make a living

Move strategically the government wanna imprison us
Lock us all up and give us long ass periods
No choice but to move fast the hustle so furious
You think you could put us out the list then you delirious

Ain't a nigga God made thats's able to put fear in us
Companies befriending us I'm tryna build my pension up
New wack niggas actin' crazy and cocky
You better slow yo roll I got a bitch that'll knock yours

This Oakland shit I promise you for suckers it's not for
Yo best defender on me there's no way I can not score
Yea I go to work but shit I been on the block more
Soft as carnival bears they claiming they hardcore

They catchin' bodies, got up out it
One of my patnas probly pop it probly
Dodgin' penal codes and politicians

Not the one to try and start the drama with you
If you real I guarantee some commas with you
Nigga I'm just being honest with you
