I was so misunderstood And all I wanted was success I had hittas tryna end me I was dealing with some stress All these hatin' hittas envy me I know they feelin' pressed This the life of a gorilla You don't never get to rest Pressure on my enemies I gotta get it done Even at the bottom I was always number one Lookin' for a remedy To deal with all this stress This the life of a gorilla You don't never get to rest And that ain't gon' change I'd run up on a hitta if he think it's a game I'd pull up with a toolie And start bussin' your brain Sippin' drank like it's a smoothie Got me losin' my sane Why you think that this a movie You ain't gonna get saved I've been thuggin' out the trenches Steady tryna get paid Shoulder shruggin' at my wisdom They ain't care what I said Then they shootin' at your skully Get that right in your head, yeah I learned how to pick a lock Before I learned to pik my hair My dawg was lookin' for his pops He turned around, no one was there I almost got locked up in them cages Because of how I look Now these people say congratulations Don't know what it took They tried to tell me that I Wouldn't make it, focus on them books But I did it anyway And passed up an opp I been goin' up They want a youngin' to drop I'mma question later But for now you get popped Honestly homie You couldn't rock with us That shawty that you want so bad Is just a thot to us These people really made of glass And say they hard to bust I can see right through 'em Without binoculars Man, I swear they really trippin' Like a Charter Bus If you get in it with me You in with all of us I came up in this world Without a lot of touch Had me screamin' adiós To all my obstacles I was so misunderstood And all I wanted was success I had hittas tryna end me I was dealing with some stress All these hatin' hittas envy me I know they feelin' pressed This the life of a gorilla You don't never get to rest Pressure on my enemies I gotta get it done Even at the bottom I was always number one Lookin' for a remedy To deal with all this stress This the life of a gorilla You don't never get to rest
