Terrence Mack - What If It Never Gets Better? (feat. New Saint)

What if it never gets better?
What if I'm wasting my timing?
Give up my pride and joy for a taste of the lime, Sourface
From my haters, when they see I'm great
Catch you later, I'm on my way home plate
Stealing all the bases, I ain't never get complacent
I'm just trynna elevate While juggling life
Shits more complex than everyday struggle
Finding pieces to my puzzle
Guest that's just life
Taking left turns, When I should've gone right
Buts what a journey with GPS like?
You'll never live life, taking orders
Money enslaved all of us
Funny how 5 figures, make niggas forget feelings
Concrete ceilings, Basement ass nigga
Never had shit but a retail addiction
A bag of excuses and sloppy seconds
(Eww, What the fuck?)
Life is a privilege, many take for granted
I'm playing the cards I'm handed
I'm raising all the standards
They hate it, they can't stand it
They can't tame my antics
Life's a game of monopoly being broken the game
But staying broke is a shame
Came from wooden spoons and mouth Splinters
I'm no beginner, hungry for a taste of a the good life
Way too long we been deprived
Fuck waiting, took the recipe and made my own damn pie

What if I put in the work?
What if it never pays off?
I'd burn the bridges I'm on
So I can do what I want
What If I put in the time?
What if I kept it inside?
If it doesn't get better I'll strive
I've push myself to survive

I am the man in the mirror
When I look in I see that I'm everything
That I ever wanted to be (mmm)
I am the man in the mirror
When I look in I see that I'm everything (Thing)
That I ever wanted to be

Wanted to be...

So you can't tell me nothing
(Nooo)
Cause time is of the essence
I ain't wasting
(No Time)

So get off my dick
Cause I'm making it big
Hear a lot of nigga talking, but I ain't see shit
And I'm more about action than a Michael Bay flick
I ain't the one for games, but if I play it I win
Bench pressing all these rappers like a weight in the gym
Can't say it to my face, then don't say it again
Got these haters all hype like lottery win
Even if we were crabs you couldn't pull me back in
I Made it out, I made a vow
I ain't never going back and I'll kill to stay out
I put my life on that

What if I put in the work?
What if it never pays off?
I'd burn the bridges I'm on
So I can do what I want
What If I put in the time?
What if I kept it inside?
If it doesn't get better I'll strive
I've push myself to survive
