Lyrics Locked In - GVO CJ

Money ain't everything, just the root of all evil
But money get you everything you want
Believe me, see you can buy a bitch and she won't care if you mistreat her
But they be diggin', might as well get a golden retriever
I would have millions right now if I played wide receiver for my brudda

But this world needs some more teachers, doctors and dentists or people makin' breakfast at Denny's
Went to UCF, coulda went to Stetson like Bennett
But now I'm writin', speakin' life, my gifts are manifestin
I wanted money, now I'd rather have my own blessings

Not no questions from people that's wearin' badges for a livin
Instead, I'm out here givin' hope to all the real niggas
Even niggas out here sellin' dope in that field, nigga
Hope my shit get appealed, nigga, and I'm for real, nigga

All these other niggas wanna do is kill, niggas
Money and verses how I cope where my deal, nigga
I ain't got it yet, cause I ain't ready for it
Last year, coulda signed for six figures, that ain't my story

'Cause one day, I'ma be rich, nigga, and give the glory to the most high on stage while I accept my award
My talent's my reward, they help me movin' forward
Shot the window out that Ford, I was a bad lil' boy

Now I'm tryna be a better man, I had to understand
I supply what they want, my verses on demand
I was in the can, that shit made me understand
I'm a better man than what the white man take me for

In the backseat askin' why the hell they had to take me, Lord
It was for my own good, give the young niggas the message ain't no love in the hood
It's a trap
They give us what we need to take ourselves off the map

See, it's a trap, no wonder niggas in the trap
We got 99 problems, to they zero, Warren Sapp
I can't even cap, fell in love with a fee
She ain't even have my back, but she had my baby

First time she said she love me was when she threw it back
I know black don't crap, but these hoes don't know how to act
They put a nigga in a trap if he ain't in the trap
The government done turned pussy into crack

Niggas killin' over hoes or killin' over sacks
I played the fifth, never took a bitch to Fifth or Saks
'Cause no matter what I spend, that target on my back
Now they analyzin' all our tracks

What if these my opinions, who said I was speakin' facts?
Me, nigga, and I'll never take it back
Could've chose a different path, but shit, I'm on track
To greatness, I don't wanna be on y'all tracks

Got my own team, Vruddas, I got y'all backs
I had my own schemes with money that they couldn't tax
That shit attracted hoes, got money while I relaxed
But it's way more than hoes, I wish all y'all niggas knew that

Tap into yourself, maybe these hoes would know how to act
I had my turn with my hoes, then I gave them back
Me and my niggas go way back, like some Cadillacs
God fixed my vision so I know I won't get cataracts

We all gon' be on contracts when my brother sign his max
I'ma retire my mama so she can do my math
Just to take her own money, get whatever she want
Give Kailani 5,000, do whatever she want

Just make sure that she know where her help come from
We all God's Very Own, he love us like His son
I'm my daddy's son, I was ignoring red flags of the same things that he went through in his past

But I'ma be the one to make sure we last
Live like kings on this earth, first one to the bag
Just to tell the world God is good, He brought me through it
If I can make it out my worst, I know you could do it

All I did, I'm still blessed and still highly favored
God's son and Gainesville's Very Own but not a gator
Life is sweet as you make it, God been my lifesaver
Don't force my hand, I know a nigga with a lightsaber

About my baby or the fam, I'm a lifetaker
Life ain't been the same since I lost my favorite Laker
If they take me out the game, make sure that I ain't in Jamaica
Or somewhere down by the equator

Lover boy got hella haters
Run it up like Fred Taylor, goin' up like elevators
Prayin' for God to save us so we can get out this matrix
Locked in with myself and with my patience

Nigga locked in
GVO, he locked in
They say that boy ducked off, he locked in
I'm just tryna find ways not to sin, nigga
