Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm going through a break-up again

I see a dozen women and I break up with ten

I put 'em back together and I break 'em again

That's a match made in heaven or the thin line between

[Verse 2]

Love and hate that we cross

Till it makes us repent

I'm tryna let you know that this plays on my head

So you don't have to wait till I'm dead

'Cause patience ain't one of your strengths

[Verse 3]

I waited a lifetime just to end up in the lime light

I write rhymes so they won't consider me an Einstein

While they was nominated for a Grammy for the ninth time

I was shedding tears with my family in the night, night

[Verse 4]

Night time's over, I see man acting like Scarface

But they won't survive like Sosa

The night I woke up was when that black car rolled up

I was like nine years old, blood

[Verse 5]

Shopping for my mother, went to buy a can of corned beef

Car light flashing, is this when me and the Lord meet?

Tints rolled down, he shook his head when he saw me

I guess it wasn't for me

[Verse 6]

I've skipped death more than you've skipped breath

In your gym sesh, cardio won't make the kid wretch

I've seen the prince cry when the king left

Is the queen gonna check mate, so keep 'em in check

[Verse 7]

Now I've seen a gunner ball rolling like him with check

Screaming, suck your murder, incest

It makes you wonder where the kid went

When gunshot like all our in friend

[Verse 8]

But fear won't allow you to be yourself

I'm Cool J in a Kangol, yeah, I did it well

Don't wanna see us bond, guess they'd rather us string a bell

So that's why I punch above my weight till I beat Adele

[Verse 9]

I am Shakespeare with great hair

I'll probably be the next Wayne Hector in eight years

Tinchy had to break a few records to break here

Drake really had to take the pressure to take care

[Verse 10]

Take care of you, take care of me, take care of us

Take care of mom, take care of everyone

You see, I foster hate turns to love when everybody has to rate what you've done

Man will throw shades on the slums

But I rate what it make me become

[Verse 11]

See, I could've been wasted and dumped

Stuck with about an eighth in my lungs

Yeah, I pray the fuck boys keep their distance

I'm listening to Berry's, putting up a resistance

[Verse 12]

You can keep your merits, man, I come for distinctions

I'm from the type of home where my brother's my sister

But that don't make a difference 'cause I love her to bits and

We're just some have nots tryna master the system

[Verse 13]

I had a mega drive when I was running the infants

Young fire, old flame, you'll get bun in the distance

[Verse 14]

Wait for me, mommy, won't you pray for me?

Heavy like I'm carrying a slave on me

But I'm just carrying the game on me

[Verse 15]

It's just a game, they say it's just a game

They say it's just a game

Well, if this is just a game, why we dying just to play?

[Verse 16]

It's just a game, they say it's just a game

They say it's just a game

Well, if this is just a game, why we dying just to play?

[Verse 17]

And for you, this might be just another eight

But for me, this is just another day

Just another race in a race with the racists

Tryna make it off the slave ship

[Verse 18]

Can I get a break?

'Cause I don't want another chance

'Cause I'm tired and there's no one to relate

Nor can nobody relate

[Verse 19]

My grandmother was a great

I had to put her in the grave, now my shoulder still aches

I had to carry her away

I'm still carrying the pain, fuck marrying the fame

This is for my family to gain

And the young niece carrying my name

[Verse 20]

Pray for me

Pray for me

Pray for me
