The Code lyrics

[Intro]
Soldier boy
Oh, my little soldier boy
I'll be true to—
Shut the f*ck up

[Verse 1]
I never stop thinkin', so the rappin' never stoppin'
I don't aim to make a racket but I'll ball with a topspin
No one can match the length that I run
Check the hurdles lately that I've been mothaf*ckin' hoppin'
Kids like your drop before your album ever drops in
But y'all better check the time
I mean, you better watch it like a wrist
Killin' it with every rhyme, I don't care who watchin' this
This is the code that I live by
Guns spittin' bullets but I get so much ammunition
Soon they gon' refill the magazine, at least that's what they wishin'
Create a mess in my kitchen then throw away the dishes
I spit about my own f*ckin' life
I don't ever gotta cater to what you f*ckers like
This is my passion and I spit to my own mic
Sit with methbombs in class but all I wanna do is write
Freedom of speech is my f*ckin' right (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
So just like everything, it's use it or lose it
If I wanna change my content, it's my choice to move it
I got a voice layer 'fraid of the power
If it was my choice, I'd turn this year into an hour
They just scared of what would happen if I got to the top
Would I stay there? Would I let it all drop?
Back down and hit their heads that didn't believe
No longer locked out
People yellin', "Yo, who gave this kid the key?"
[Chorus]
It's the code that I live by
I'm real so it's a question of how not why
It's just the code that I live by
This is an endeavor for future, so this is do-or-die
It's the code that I live by
Do-do-do-do-do-or-die (Yeah)
Do-do-do-or-die
Do-do-do-do-or-doe

[Bridge]
[?] another one of those gangster hits

[Verse 2]
Yo, but maybe I'm not that good
'Cause I ain't from the mothaf*ckin' hood
Maybe I'll stop rappin' and see if it does me any good
Cut the music, cut the music—
Mmmm, mm-mm
—Nah, I can't take the silence
The music and the melody got too many words behind it
I'm on fire and I need a f*ckin' vent
I wanna be the face even Alzheimer's can't forget, haha
Life ain't about no rainbows
Gasoline dribbled on the mothaf*ckin' pavement
The road's gotten rough, only the truth can pave it
Hip-hop's a mess and for some reason, I got the need to save it
Put the success on my math test and watch the teacher grade it
Y'all gonna be surprised when I actually make it
But this is who I am
And I never ever f*ckin' change it
[Chorus]
It's just the code that I live by
I'm real so it's a question of how not why
It's just the, it's just the— (Yeah)
It's just the code that I live by
This is an endeavor for the future, so this is do-or-die
It's just the, it's just the— (Yeah)
Do-or-die
It's just the code that I live by
Do-do-do-do, it's do-or-die (Yeah, yeah)
It's just the code that I live by
