[Spoken Word] Half of y'all don’t understand the shit that I'm on Like, having to get it right cuz you sick of gettin it wrong And I long, for just a shimmer of hope Or maybe even a piece of the gold And so I write songs for those who don't believe what they told But ohhhh oh It’s gettin scary holdin on for a week When people talk with they tongues, but you hear they soul when they speak So you tryin to drown em out you findin more than you seeked You was only testin the waters until you saw it was deep Allusion to life, it's like the more that you try to stay afloat, the more that you sink But think How the fuck you gone give up now? You got somethin to prove, you trynna raise a kid up now Like, fuck you gone do? Tell em when life gets hard, call it quits and throw in the towel? Or push harder against the forces that's been holdin you down But see...see You don't wanna lie to the kid It's easy to teach someone how to survive the life that they live It ain't easy to set examples when you dying and shit, like How the fuck I'm gone eat if this rent ain't paid off? Where the fuck I’m gone live if I fuck around and get laid off? People around you say they got you if you need it just stay calm But even if you do believe it you keep thinking the same thoughts ’Cause you grown now Figure you should handle shit on your own now Probably be better off with more support from your hometown People you keep around you that you always hold down They don't really fuck with you and they making it known now Wow That’s when it finally hit you People that grew up with you never grew up WITH you Yall used to kick it Live life, bury shit in the sandbox Who would've thought yall lives got buried right there in that damn box? That's why every day I think of words from my damn pops like Don't trust people just ’cause you know em Those same people come around with they hand out trying to act like that you owe em And when you don't give it up, they say you actin like you don't know em So if they say I look like I'm moving funny, I say fuck it and show em like Nah, you can't see this dough You ain't entitled to shit just because you call me bro You ain't fam because you yell out "cuz" and pop up at the cookouts Support is free, it cost nothing to look out Like, fuck these niggas We may talk, but I don't ever trust these niggas My only goal in life is to one-up these niggas I just gave yall my whole soul How could you not love me, nigga?
