Artist: gaVen heVy Album: ...Dedicated to Her Song: ...Lost Generation Typed by: @gavenhevy [Chorus] When you're doing wrong, man it's hard to make it right And when you're in the dark, man it's hard to see the light You gotta preserver You gotta preserver When you're tryna grind, man you gotta take your time And when you're writing lines, gotta say what's on your mind You gotta preserver You gotta preserver [1st Verse] Tryna keep his cool, but he finna blow 'Cuz he feeling like Notorious kicked in the door Never seen it before, 'cuz it's unorthodox And he finna go, get up off his block They think that he not, but he really will 'Cuz them shooters, shoot and them killers, kill And ain't no sitting still, or he gon’ die in vein 'Cuz it's either he gonna grow, or he gon’ stay the same Searching for the finer things, through the tougher times And it's 'cuz of the pain, that got him spitting lines He think that it's time to make a bigger move Let the haters hate, while they watch him cruise Cool [Chorus] When you're doing wrong, man it's hard to make it right And when you're in the dark, man it's hard to see the light You gotta preserver You gotta preserver When you're tryna grind, man you gotta take your time And when you're writing lines, gotta say what's on your mind You gotta preserver You gotta preserver [2nd Verse] Laying low but he ain't hiding. Just tryna get his mind right Picking his battles, but he ain't really tryna fight Grew up as a victim of the circumstance Once considered a loser, but tryna make improvements Can't tell him what to do, but they advised him That his wisdom could brighten his horizons Yet he blinded by the negatives And young goons that gangbang and let barretas spit And young girls that only see him as a specimen His heart cold, so it's easy to let the devil in What to do when his backs against the wall and he tryna dodge the fall? And he tryna stay the same, but don't wanna leave the game [Chorus] When you're doing wrong, man it's hard to make it right And when you're in the dark, man it's hard to see the light You gotta preserver You gotta preserver When you're tryna grind, man you gotta take your time And when you're writing lines, gotta say what's on your mind You gotta preserver You gotta preserver [3rd Verse] He can't taste success, unless he work for it And sacrifice the pain and the hurt for it Reminiscing about the nights that he stayed up Hours of plotting to get his pay up Can't take a pay cut, especially when you're living on the day to day And he tryna dodge the law just to play it safe And he searching for the end so he could make a mean But it's hard to stay clean when you in the streets And it's hard to stay chill, when they on your back And if he turn to violence, it ain’t no coming back They’ll probably catch him on the block while he selling rock So they can throw him in a box and watch him rot. Damn. [Chorus] When you're doing wrong, man it's hard to make it right And when you're in the dark, man it's hard to see the light You gotta preserver You gotta preserver When you're tryna grind, man you gotta take your time And when you're writing lines, gotta say what's on your mind You gotta preserver You gotta preserver
