Best Wishes - Ransom

A lot of sad people in the crowd when they doubted him

So let me translate it nice and loud for you cowards then

We in a cold world, never trusted a lot of friends

Even your fucking teeth will bite your tongue every now and then

Know how to fend for yourself

Niggas be lusting for what you’re earning

My Mom Dukes told me «Go 'head and play with the stove»

I learned fast, I wouldn’t touch it if it was burning

Bullshit will get you injured with no relation to rose

Motivational flows, I grow the nation with those

I nearly lost faith at the table shaving them O’s

Here’s a quick thought

Why would you pay attention if you’re getting ripped off

These niggas ain’t saying shit and getting rich off

And y’all ain’t pissed off?

They there for them sunny days, but I’m here when it gets dark

I don’t get a DM from women that wanna screw

It’s more like young people that just don’t know what to do

This young man hit me, his name we gon' keep anonymous

Said that we the same, he too was raised fatherless

Said «It's do or die

I’m at the edge, Duffle, with the thought of suicide

All I could do was cry, all I could do was sigh

Surprised that you would reply

But you a real man so fuck it I had to try

I can’t bear to look over there where them pills sitting

I wonder what you did to inspire them real writtens

I love that you fight for life and you still driven

By the way your music is why I’m still here living»

In all caps I replied «This is all facts

You the reason I’m doing this shit that we call rap.»

My best wishes

Yeah, my best wishes

Wish I could of told you how it’s gon' be

I’m busy running away from the person they tryna be

Wish I could just relax, breathe in and breathe out

Just making it week in and week out

My best wishes

Sometimes I wonder if people know what they doing

Whatever’s on the agenda, it’s keeping all of us ruined

A deeper problem is brewing

Wish I could have my handgun

Damn son, I ain’t got the right to bear arms

And I ain’t realized when I had it right in my palm

I could have gotten a license for it

Spent have my life in court

Altercations put this Spanish kid on the life support

And I ain’t bragging about it cause I don’t like the thought

I seen his face years later and said «It's here

It’s karma.»

The very first time I wasn’t prepared

I leaned back and waited for when he was to approach

I’m balling up my fists as soon as he’s getting close

He came to me, looked at me and my man’s face

Gave a little smirk, and extended for handshakes

I just looked at him, he gave me a head nod

And said «Ran, make that music for you and your fam»

My best wishes

My best wishes

Wish I could of told you how it’s gon' be

I’m busy running away from the person they tryna be

Wish I could just relax, breathe in and breathe out

Just making it week in and week out

My best wishes
