Track No: 01

What's harder? Life or Mr. Carter
Ballin' till my hair is as white as Johnny Carson
You don't have to beg because I'm fresh out of pardons
Little voices in my head say don't mind the little voices, whoa
What's harder, love or Mr. Carter?
Especially when these hoes ain't right, these hoes ain't loyal
Shit, who's wrong, who's right? Just ask my lawyer
Right or wrong, I'm still gon' take his advice, he take my orders
I be a-okay, instead of alright, all kind disorder
And before I ever take that for granted, I take the charges
See you can't believe in all of the hype you hear at the barber
If the odds are stacked against us, they're likely to stack 'em on us
Lil Tun, Jurassic in the room, Tyrannosaurus
I ain't steal it, I took it, I ain't crooked, I'm cater-cornered
And if my fruits of labor were ripe, I would have an orchard
But I'm nauseous from my ups and downs, and back and forward, shit
Mr. Carter, eyes are always on you
So, I smile for the camera and hide from no reporters
Roll a blunt up in this bitch, when it burn, it start my motor
Shoulder shrugging in this bitch, 'cause the world is on my shoulders, shit
What's harder? Life or Mr. Carter
Tun in this bitch, let's spike the holy water
Tryna' stay grounded, my flight said no departures
Shit, what's harder, murder or abortion?
Whoa, what's harder death or Mr. Carter?
Is it easier to play deaf or to listen harder?
I'm like girl, what's harder than life for Mr. Carter?
Knock on wood but with the wood comes termites and turmoil
What's easier? To change diapers or back to normal?
Times are changing like father time just lost his father
What's harder? To ask for sorrow or to borrow?
Or to break hearts and get your heart broke? I don't know
I ask, what's harder? Jail or Mr. Carter?
School or Mr. Carter? The news or Mr. Carter?
What's harder? Drugs or Mr. Carter?
Judge or Mr. Carter? Court in order
Yeah, what's harder? Life or Mr. Carter
I ride for this shit like a knight in shining armor
I pile up the dope and roll it tight like Under Armour
Coming from this neighborhood is just like coming from comas
I got homies from the old school and we been lost our diplomas
Got some hoes from California think their shit smell like begonias
Got a bone to pick, I peak into your bone
It's like I come from San Antonio, pop up at the spur of the moment
How you want it?
When in hell I'm a roaming
Head on fire, I'm a comet
Heater by the ab-domen, and you know me
Man, I'm all about my business
Business handle business for me
I know you know life a bitch
Turned her to a businesswoman
Mind your business
I'm sayin', what's harder? Life or Mr. Carter
What's higher, the price, or Mr. Carter?
Should I call you mystery? Because I'm right here to solve you
And if you start to smell fear or fright, I sprayed it on you
I made it and when I made it, you hated, I made it on you
You know the streets talk, my ****, don't make them argue
**** faded away, I'll light one and get faded for you
I'm reclining, Weezy Baby, lazy boy you, they enjoy you
I'm like, what's harder? Life or Mr. Carter
