No Shortcuts Lyrics by Waldo

Grove

2019

[Intro]
Yeah, just like that, ugh
[Verse]
He who works like a slave, eats like a king
It was a simple choice, I could follow or lead
No college degrees, just knowledge of self
True to my being, meditate when I wake from my sleep
Quite the routine, watchin' my steps like they on the screen
Turn up the volume, my voice is meant to be heard like a scream
Broken silence, Stone Island on the patch of my jeans
Clothing designer but that's minor like under 18
2018 I took a leap of faith and I showed them my wings
Like pigeons and planes, we was duckin' police
Cuffs? Cuffin' nothin', we fuckin' the first night that we meet
My weekend girl thought I was bluffin' 'til Monday morning I cut the corners
No shortcut on this journey, ain't no hurry but we all wanna get rich in our 30's, Todd Gurley
The name hold weight, big Shirley, B.I.G said it best
It's life after death if you worthy, mercy, mercy me
A lot has changed than what it used to be
I live through defeat, so I'm not defeated
I can't hear it, say it, or see it, rise from ashes like phoenix
That chopper blast you to pieces and that's all she wrote
When they resort to the violence like that's all they know
We respond like we been here before, we never choke
As our lungs inhale the smoke, I stay woke
Like insomnia to these niggas that's fake woke
Swallow my pride, I got lots of it
I'm in my prime, call me Optimus
When it's my time, better monument
'Cause legends don't die
I gotta [?]
If I got the drop on the opps and them
These niggas fighting for oxygen
But I never get tired, but I never get-
[Outro]
