Talk To Em

Like a person needs his soul

Like the winter needs the cold

Just talk to 'em for a minute

Aye, just talk to 'em for a minute

Like a baby needs to cry

If you go, I swear I'll die

How the fuck I'm free out here and you locked in there

Your whole family acts like I don't care

They don't know about the nights I just lay in my bed

I can't even sleep, I just lay in my bed

Eyes full of tears and a heart full of pain

Take deep breaths every time I hear your name

You was more than family, you was like my brother

So when the shit went down, it's like I lost my brother (Aye)

And I wish we could trade places

Swear to God, dawg, wish we could trade places

Livin' a life of crime, but it wasn't your life, it was more like mine

I often think about the close calls we had

And I often think about the close brawls we had

And I love my ****, what you know 'bout that?

And I'll do anything to get Golmouf back, talk to 'em

Like a person needs his soul

Like the winter needs the cold

Make 'em understand, aye

Make 'em understand

Like a baby needs to cry

(Please, look, make 'em understand)

If you go, I swear I'll die

Mel Man, you my heart, I swear to god

Knew you was real, man, I saw it from the start

Even when I was wrong, my **** had my back

Even when I was right, my **** had my back (Damn right)

We used to laugh, wasn't shit funny

Late night at my grandma house counting money

I trust you with my life, dawg

If I was married, I'd trust you with my wife, dawg

Any given time a half a mil' in your possession

You ain't called in two days, man, I still wasn't stressing

'Cause when I talk, my **** listen

Switch shit, you used to help me with them pigeons

Ernestine won't talk to me, dawg, and it hurts

She treat a **** like I'm the scum of the earth

Scum of the earth

In your eyes, I couldn't do no wrong

So to you, I dedicate this song (Talk to 'em)

Like a person needs his soul

Like the winter needs the cold

Like a baby needs to cry

Uh-huh, talk to 'em, I don't think they understand me, my ****, talk to 'em

If you go, I swear I'll die

Must've bust ten rounds through the strap in your lap

Knew I was a gangsta, I wasn't going for that

Pussy **** in my yard? Talkin' shit?

Knowin' damn well I was on some G shit?

Let the whole clip ride, and didn't think

Let the whole clip ride and didn't blink

You asked me kindly don't bring the white in the house

And then what I do, bring the white in the house

Bricks in the attic and you ain't know?

Your grandson's killin' them, he's gettin' 24

Feds at the door, I'm out of town

You ain't tell 'em shit, you held me down

Nowadays, I rock the mic, I'm getting paid for that

And all the shit I been through, I'm getting paid for that

Always said I would make it, wish you could see me now

But if I tried to tell her, she probably wouldn't believe me now

Love you, Mattie Lou

Like a person needs his soul

Like the winter needs the cold (Real talk, aye, aye)

You don't know what you got 'til it's gone, ****

Real talk, real **** do real things, ****

Like a baby needs to cry

Aye, real talk ****

If you go, I swear I'll die

Mel Man, Golmouf, y'all already know what it is, ****

Mattie Lou

Rest in peace, real talk (Peace, baby)

Lost everybody in one year, ****, I'm still here

Ain't shed a tear, ain't shed a thought, ****

I'm still here, ****

Real **** do real things, ****

Fuck it, I'm here, ****

Ain't going no motherfuckin' where, ****

Fuck what you think about me, ****

Get your shit together, come see me, ****

Real talk, ****, 124, ****, the 'Ville, ****
