The right move

Intro]
Yeah…
If I knew then what I know now…
Shit would be different…
But we live and we learn, right?

⸻

[Hook]
If I knew then what I know now, make the right move
If I don’t, I’m in the same spot, that be my hood
I be runnin’ up a check, yeah that be my loot
Hit the homie up, hit the spot, yeah he my dude

If I knew then what I know now, I’d move smart
Had to learn it in the dark, now I play my part
If I slip, I’m back stuck where it all started
Gotta keep it pushin’ forward, yeah I’m cold-hearted

⸻

[Verse 1]
Back then I was movin’ reckless, no direction
All gas, no brakes, never learned my lesson
Tryna chase fast money, didn’t see the cost
Had to take a couple L’s just to feel the loss

Now I move different, yeah the vision clear
Cut ties with the fake, keep the real ones near
Every move calculated, I ain’t movin’ blind
Learned the game the hard way, now I’m on my grind

Late nights in the city, we was posted deep
Talkin’ dreams but the hustle never let us sleep
If it ain’t about the money, I don’t entertain
Seen too many fall off tryna chase the fame

⸻

[Hook]
If I knew then what I know now, make the right move
If I don’t, I’m in the same spot, that be my hood
I be runnin’ up a check, yeah that be my loot
Hit the homie up, hit the spot, yeah he my dude

⸻

[Verse 2]
Same block, same struggle, different mindset
Used to want it overnight, now I grind for it
Patience turned me solid, had to boss up
Now they see me level up, got ‘em all stuck

I remember days I ain’t have a thing
Now I’m stackin’ every dollar, tryna make it sing
From the bottom where they doubt you and they count you out
Now I’m everything they said I wouldn’t be, no doubt

Still I keep it with me, never trust easy
Seen friends turn foes, yeah that shit greasy
But I stay focused, tunnel vision locked
Either move forward or you stuck on that same block

⸻

[Bridge]
If I fall, I get back up, that’s the mindset
Ain’t no goin’ back broke, I can’t rewind that
Every scar, every loss, yeah it built me
Now I see the bigger picture more clearly

⸻

[Hook – Outro]
If I knew then what I know now, make the right move
If I don’t, I’m in the same spot, that be my hood
I be runnin’ up a check, yeah that be my loot
Hit the homie up, hit the spot, yeah he my dude
