Can't Be Taught Songtext
von Payroll Giovanni

Waking up in mansions with a water view
It′s the vision in my head that made a nigga move
Folks swearin' we go back, I′m like I never knew
When I was sleepin' in the basement, where the fuck was you?

I was coppin' work when they was gettin′ fresh
Now it′s Dior shoes and shirt when I'm gettin′ dressed
Started blessin' folks and started gettin′ blessed
Whoever can't keep up, they ass is gettin′ left

Slow myself down way too many times
To help folks that later on put me in a bind
Life for me was fine when I was doing crime
But I peeped with these rhymes, I be changing lives

Loyal to the game, ask my whole crew
The niggas that speakin' on me be niggas I wouldn't speak to
Convertible Benz, that′s just to breeze through
Pullin′ up to the club bein' extra, but I don′t need to


Y'all still in the point proving phase
Subtractin ya money, I′m in my multiplyin' days
The hustle just in me, I used to have my plug amazed
Like, "You young, but you get this shit, you on ya way"

Some shit just can′t be taught
Everybody can't be boss
Used to sell it all
But some shit just can't be bought
Some shit just can′t be taught

Some shit just can′t be taught
Everybody can't be boss
Used to sell it all
But some shit just can′t be bought
Some shit just can't be taught

Don′t put me in no category
With these niggas that's always telling stories
Swearin′ they real, but comin' off as corny
All these corny niggas really bore me


They wasn't in the game
Prolly outside, but in the way
My whole household was in the yae
Everyday I was prepared to claim it all if they ever raid
This for my niggas hustlin′ and gettin paid
Lookin′ at his wrist, still amazed that he got a Rollie beige

Yeah it's a trophy, go in and flaunt it my nigga
But be cautious, there′s some animals that want it, my nigga
It's a difference from motivatin′ to tauntin', my nigga
These hoes ain′t the only ones gawkin', my nigga

Transition quick to legitimate
When the time is right, pull ya niggas in
The ones that wanna listen, not the hard heads
Small minds don't see it until it′s large bread

Some shit just can′t be taught
Everybody can't be boss
Used to sell it all
But some shit just can′t be bought
Some shit just can't be taught

Some shit just can′t be taught
Everybody can't be boss
Used to sell it all
But some shit just can′t be bought
Some shit just can't be taught
