Face Value versuri

Face Value lyrics by Maverick Montana M.A.V.

Intro
It’s face value (It’s like the face on the dollar bill)
You know what it is, you know what it represent
Face on the hunnid
Nigga, I see shit for what it is, not what I want it to be
Yo, look

Verse 1
I met my lady at a tender age (Young)
Life threw me lemons, I made the lemonade (I did)
I was tryna master the art of hustle and gettin’ paid
She had a reputation for fuckin’ the realest nigga made (It’s cold out there though)
It’s cold as the blocks was (Yeah)
If she ain’t drivin’, she was still ridin’ shotgun (That’s my ride)
You know that 500 Mossberg shotgun (Yеah)
You ain’t even got one (Yеah), you ain’t never shot one (No)
You ain’t never drawdown on nothin’ or cock once (Nah)
Never put a round through nothin’, but you’ve been shot once (But you’ve been shot once)
It’s unfortunate when you feelin’ them hot ones live
It’s middle finger to the world like ‘Pac was (Middle finger to the world)
I thought love was what the block does (That’s what I thought)
Old hammers, new shells, and they got gloves (Gloves are dirty, nigga)
What’s up, listen to what up, that is not love (Real difference)
So if I call the alarms, them is not hugs (Yeah)

Interlude
See, you gotta know the difference
Niggas be thinkin’ it’s one thing, but it be somethin’ totally different
If she been born with it

Verse 2
Integrity compromised (Yeah)
I’m long-term friends, turn money to homicide (Money will do that)
The same that kill you consolin’ your mama cries
But all she see is love in his eyes infront of lies (She won’t know the difference)
I learned that the corners come with a cold heart
Couple dollars made in time come with the warm sparks
Blood in the water, in turn, they shootin’ more shots (That’s how this game’ll do you)
Black on after sundown, the red flag
Where I’m from, we call it goin’ dark (That’s a fashion statement)
We wanted Forgis or the Lowenharts
Left the schoolyard to move hard, you don’t know the parts (You don’t know nothin’ about that)
Survival of the fittest, I was there, so I wear the scars (I wear those)
Feelin’ like if they was countin’ theirs, where the fuck is ours? (Where the fuck ours at, nigga?)
Salt and sugar look the same, niggas know the rest
Every word spoken, say it with your chest (Say that shit, you mean it)
Sure as a dirty heart and gettin’ money never mess
Character is of the essence, never of the flesh (Never)
