Every day it’s OT like Upamencano Goody roll the leaf and he sprinkle that fronto Funnel too blunted Kaido bout to rummage through the trash can Treat my black kitten like a black man Has beens focused on riding the new wave New niggas hot and on the rise like a souffle Somewhere in between em ‘preciating my bouquet Niggas out her scamming? We gone find out where you stay, and (wait) We can turn this bitch into a lay up line (wait wait) Principles is real when on the paper grind Biking like Frankie on the paper route Might not make it out, Stake it out like Ramsey’s house Riding round the city like I’m Butchy Whippin it, bippin this bitch with reckless abandon- Ment issues random and kickin it (kickin it) It being my ass, shit cost me a bag Never in the literal, figurative, spiritual, see I be so unserious bout life Owe that bar to Scamss, man I’m higher than a kite Bitch i’m on my Benny Frank watching lightning strike the same spot twice (what?) What the fuck does that even mean?

(we got some fresh tunes for y’all) Ain’t no use crying over spilled milk Frenemies with the ill will like the disk jockey Keep it on the humble, spit cocky Cop and 8th from selling six copies of these CDs (oh yeah?) Peep me with your eyes but can you see me? Smoking some tree that fell in the forest with nobody around A lot of niggas making noise, I ain’t hearing a sound Seem like the niggas down to earth be six feet in the ground For now, I stay ten toes down Two fingers in ears with my eyes closed They gone ask why I can’t see or hear nothing Think it’s kinda better how my mind goes, It be Hittin like a hi hat on the triplet I been on my Eeyore, Tigger and Pooh and Piglet Left me back like Chilwell, stuck in my blues Running another marathon up in my shoes, uh They told a nigga don’t run, don’t run But never cared to ask him what he running from And every day getting tougher But I’m supposed to wake up feeling grateful for another one? (nah!) That shit is cliche! They moving hella foul but it’s never PKs! I can’t throw in the towel til my mama repaid And if you feeling down you should know I relate, you should know I relate Promised my mom a year of abundance Whole time I been wondering how to bring it to life Know she been depressed, tried to bring her the light See back when I was hungry she would bring the rice, yeah Either the jollof or the stew or the fried, see the pain in her eyes, I can’t even cry Back when I was lost all the truths hurt my pride, I can’t lie I’m still looking for self… Ego death might as well have been the real thing And everybody I know in need of healing Look my demons in the face, man I don’t know if it helps Took a second to reflect and get a hold of myself They told a nigga don’t run, don’t run But never cared to ask him what he running from And every day getting tougher But I’m supposed to wake up feeling grateful for another one? (nah!) That shit is cliche! They moving hella foul but it’s never PKs! I can’t throw in the towel til my mama repaid And if you feeling down you should know I relate, you should know I relate

My mind races as I pace the floor Looking for something clever to say, why don’t I face the door and face facts? Fake friends come with fake rapport I had a fake report card, couldn’t explain my scores A lot of shame and animosity, that shit would really bother me My remedy was Hennessey and copying the dopest shit I heard of Android Number Twenty Three the dopest shit you heard of I do what I does with hella pride and fucking purpose Pointless with the ballpoint, you niggas write in cursive No practical use, I strive to act on the truth Always empower the youth That’s really law, don’t abide I know your power a fluke uh! I get my power from the most high, it won’t ever go away (it won’t ever go away) I got power in my faith, I got problems in my face I got heart, in my lungs, got them flowers that I bake It’s on! Tell them bitches we gone Now and forever we young We see them problems we run And we run And we run, run away, don’t run to a place too far It’s too far (run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run!) I’m Way too far from the man that I wanna be Also wanna be the same man that my momma seen Walk across that stage with a degree, look at me Look at dreams that come true I’m smiling my front tooth still crooked Every month a booking Every month I’m shooken Hoping that I stay up out of Hopkins Open up my options for these ladies, I’m still looking Kinda miss my baby for the way that she be cooking She broke my heart The animosity would follow me Like Twitter favs I’m saying fuck an open heart I had the pleasure of meeting a girl who changed that all But in the back of my mind I’m hearing the same old song This time instead of turning off, I sing along I drown it out She tells me not to repeat the cycle over and over like a roundabout I found that faith beyond my doubts, muhfucka It’s on! Tell them bitches we gone Now and forever we young We see them problems we run And we run And we run, run away, don’t run to a place too far It’s too far (run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run!)

Whoa, How quickly friends turn into, foes My sweetest love is now a stranger I felt consumed I felt the anger And where the answers, I don’t, know I’m smoking weed up with my bro (with my bro, I’m with my bro) Look in the mirror, see a stranger (now who are you?) I pop them pills, I know it’s dangerous I hide the pain but still it, shows… Show, show, yeah Show me you and I’ll show you self Show me truth and I’ll show you wealth Showed you love and I showed you pain Showed you real and I showed you games Now I’m... Two steppin that walk of shame (damn, now walk it out) I don’t wanna talk about it nomore I don’t wanna think about it not once I don’t wanna write about it I don’t wanna type about it I don’t wanna sigh about it I don’t wanna fight about it (nigga stop frontin’) I ain’t gotta lie about it Maybe I should about it, maybe I don’t wanna walk this earth on my own Take this journey alone Niggas moshing up front Bitches all on they phones Lil mama say she want me Tell her baby I’m grown Still I’m stuck on your face Damn I wish I had known.. (If I had known) How quickly friends turn into, foes My sweetest love is now a stranger I felt consumed I felt the anger And where the answers, I don’t, know I’m smoking weed up with my bro (with my bro, I’m with my bro) Look in the mirror, see a stranger (now who are you?) I pop them pills, I know it’s dangerous I hide the pain but still it, shows…
