I just be trying to practice having discipline

'Cause I know it's easy for me to go off the ledge or I'll crash out

You know it

Won't fold under pressure 'cause I'm still the same me

Glock sitting on the dresser 'cause I'm still the same me

Learn from all my lessons 'cause I'm still the same me

God keeps sending blessings 'cause I'm still the same me

Come walk in my shoes, staying solid, win or lose

Pain, I helped the streets get through it, feel like I be rapping blues

Lately I been stacking blues, as a kid I got misused

Real ****, played by the rules, without help and get no clues

Every time we did what we do, it made the news

Know I still go by myself, hop out broad day, spray that too

Then I think 'bout principle, I don't want my kids confused

Visiting me in no institution, everybody need me I'm the glue

Every year I'm going ku, all my whips my cribs new

Whatever I want, I get approved, outgrow shit, then gotta move

I take drugs, medicinal, help me get right in my groove

'Cause I think like a killer too, 762's hit him, went through

Reminisce, get in my mood, lil' bro, why you leave me, dude?

Nightmares, I can't get no sleep, I get sick, can't eat no food

In the streets, going through hula hoops

I don't even think twice, shoot or shoot

I be in fear for my life, what else you expect me to do?

I can't snooze

The industry won't change me

If it all go bad, they gon' blame me

Grind hard, rain or sleep

On top of the food chain, yeah, that struggle made me

Diamond chains on my chest but my heart not at peace

That day we laid Max to rest, it drove me crazy

That day we laid Rak to rest, it drove me crazy

That day we laid Kobe to rest, it drove me crazy

That day we laid Broski to rest, it drove me crazy

Don't complain about my stress, I'm still the same me

I send everybody checks, I'm still the same me

Clean up everybody mess, I'm still the same me

Dark thoughts I can't confess, I'm still the same me

Won't fold under pressure 'cause I'm still the same me

Glock sitting on the dresser 'cause I'm still the same me

Learn from all my lessons 'cause I'm still the same me

God keeps sending blessings 'cause I'm still the same me

Lot of days I feel depressed, after praying, I get fresh

I don't really speak my mind, but my mama know me best

I still tell her I'll be fine, I don't rush, I take my time

Put all this shit on the line, staying up, I don't decline

If I told you I don't cry, then I'd be lying

When my homies died, they didn't have to call us, we was already slidin'

We was young and wild, it used to be all us, now the gang divided

Should I make it right or let it fall apart? I ain't decided

Let that 40 spark, yeah, we'll pull all they cards, don't come outside

I'm the one show forgiveness when it was hard, I swallowed all my pride

I be trying to forget when I was going to war 'cause I made it out alive

I do anything to hide my scars, I'm always trying to vibe

Protect my energy, I stay on guard, can't let them block my path

And I'm still a thug, I seen blood, I laid in a bath

**** say I'm fake, I left the hood and that shit make me laugh

Fuck em 'cause they snakes, they kept my kids, I'm locked in with my tribe

Don't complain about my stress, I'm still the same me

I send everybody checks, I'm still the same me

Clean up everybody mess, I'm still the same me

Dark thoughts I can't confess, I'm still the same me

Won't fold under pressure 'cause I'm still the same me

Glock sitting on the dresser 'cause I'm still the same me

Learn from all my lessons 'cause I'm still the same me

God keeps sending blessings 'cause I'm still the same me
