Yeah
I'ma tell you like this
You don't know until you know (You never know)
And that's real shit, uh (Know)
I'm from where tragedy made us strengthen and casualties don't make a difference
The people who ain't from here can't imagine this way of livin' (Can't imagine this shit)
But she a diamond in the rough, who? Jasmine K Dickens
She's got a bachelor's, then a job at a maximum state prison
But she ain't the same C.O. that's working at Chow (Uh-uh)
Her pops did ten joints in the jail, she workin' it now (Real OG)
She work in Prince dorm, h? flirtin' with her now (Now, nigga), and then, she lik? 'em
But she stand firm, she never break a smirk or a smile (Can't break it)
But he a rich nigga, he know how to play, got five left
He got her address and sent her a bracelet and lingerie
Prince playing chess, he thinkin' of fuckin' her smart though
He hit her once, now, he got that bitch smugglin' smartphones
It went from that, now, she bringin' it in (That work), dope
Prince got her locked down, he feelin' like a kingpin again
He runnin' shit right, he feedin' his men (Feedin' his boys)
He sent that money home, so he meet up with Jasmine to re-up again (Let's go again)
But, nah, shit way too lit, she tryna quit
But he wasn't havin' it
He said, "If you stop, then I frame you, bitch"
That nigga stuck to his word, he did her dirty
He testified on that bitch, and he got out early
What's the first thing they teach you when you get status as a thug? (Status as a thug)
That trust more valuable than love (Valuable than love)
Little spatters from the blood (Uh)
But on this block, that's just what it was (You never know)
When trust more valuable than love
Let me tell you what happened next, okay?
Same mother, two different pops
Two brothers from two different blocks, here's the plot
Some other shit, one a hustler, one into stocks, that's Lee
Kinda tried runnin' the streets, but it didn't pop, change his life around
He get props for getting out, before it got hot
He the oldest, lil' bro is just colder, he in the block
He remind me of a nigga I'm sendin' through if I get the drop (I like that lil' nigga)
They fuckin' on the same bitch, don't even know, she ain't low
Crib out in the 'burbs, she gave keys to both, she exposed
The truth when she was nine months gave Lee a stroke
She never tried to meet my folks, she was somewhere skeetin' bro
And the child wasn't his (It wasn't his), played him like a sucker (Like a fucker)
He popped to the nursery, killed the baby and his brother
Never know until you know
What's the first thing they teach you when you get status as a thug? (Status as a thug)
Trust more valuable than love (Uh)
Little spatters from the blood (Blood)
But on this block, that's just what it was
When trust more valuable than love
All that love shit gon' get you hurt (Get you hurt)
'Cause it don't add to no plugs, you know why?
'Cause trust more valuable than love
Nice guys finish last
And tough guys gettin' tatted up with slugs out here
'Cause trust more valuable than love
You never know
Here's how it went down
Small-time petty theft
Crash dummy pedigree
Might think he gangster but he nothing like the Genevese (Nothing)
Caught a rapper slippin', and put a bullet in the leg of me
Wait, I mean the leg of him, life feel like it's testin' me
The rapper never answer when a D.T.s is questionin'
Sciatic nerve severed it, he's on prescription medicine
Had to learn to walk before he got back to his self again
'Cause feeling like you cripple leaves him with a sense of helplessness
Now we feeling devilish, only one way to settle this (One way)
The rapper does his homework, he gets governments, and addresses
The rapper got patience, plus friends in high places
And he knows a shooter without a gun not dangerous
The shooter on the run, for other stupid shit he done
The rapper drops a number-one album, he's back out having fun
Catch that dirty motherfucker when he finally gets sent to jail
And have B.S.F. carved in his face with a dirty nail
You never know
The first thing they teach you when you get status as a thug (Uh)
Is trust more valuable than love (More valuable than love)
Little spatters from the blood (Blood)
But on this block, that's just what it was (Was)
When trust more valuable than love (Yeah)
All that love shit gon' get you hurt (Get you hurt)
'Cause it don't add to no plugs, you know why?
'Cause trust more valuable than love (Yeah)
Nice guys finish last (Last)
And tough guys gettin' tatted up with slugs out here
'Cause trust more valuable than love (You never know)
More valuable than love
You never know
Never know
You never know 'til you know
