Letra de TMVTL - Benny The Butcher

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' in now (Real OG)

She work in Prince dorm, he flirtin' with her now (Now, nigga), and then, she like '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

And 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 (Sheesh)

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

Changed his life around

He get props for getting out before it got hot

He the oldest, lil' bro is just colder, he into Glocks

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 'cause she was somewhere skeetin' bro

And the child wasn't his (It wasn't his), played him like a sucker (Like a fuckin' sucker)

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 (Never know)

Small-time petty thief, 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 feelin' 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
