A Shame Now

I was starvin’, now the plate got the steakhouse  

They was frontin’, now they beggin’ for a stakeout  

I don’t do handouts, only moves that I make count  

Turn a loss to a lesson, that’s the takeout  

They want smoke, but they choke when the flame out  

I don’t do weak, only pressure make the game loud  

Came from the dirt, now the soil turned to paydirt  

They was sleep, now they eyes wide like they stay hurt  

I don’t do fake, only real when the day work  

Turn the hate to the fuel, let the flame work  

They was cold, now they beggin’ for a warm word  

I don’t do broke, only numbers that confirm worth  

Step on the scene, make the vibe do a U-turn  

They was loud, now they quiet when the truth burn  

I don’t do peace if the motive don’t move first  

Turn the pain to the power, let the crew learn
