I landed here with nothing G I gotta loot Michelle Obama becoming is more than just a mood I took my shit and I flipped it like I always do My momma prolly raised a psycho but not a fool Secretes I held in my heart, harder to hide than I thought Ethan died and left the strings of my life in a knot Our past can hard visit, but I haven't forgot I put this shit all down picked up a concrete job Tough work, I needed something I could bleed doing Getting mail from my publisher they need recouping Working Five to five, then I shower, then I ski up, then I'm nipping Never had a hero I was always my own villain On a self induced lock out Niggas go to school for free and still drop out Calluses on my hands, I'm outing blunts in my palm now Begging you to please keep counting me out Yeah Not the man that I was when I was skipping steps Living so below my means I've been collecting checks Read and react like Leonard I got a new prospect I could come at your neck n still compete with respect Talking straight I hope that what I share releases my hate Forgiving E for the carelessness that took him away I forgive you for the suits on your mans in your late Jahron was young in the game and had a lot on his plates My big brother was Desirae's brother A true leader who Nick nursed, developed and who made others Never got to see his team win in six for a ring in the summer I pray that jits see who they'll up and leave when they're downing their uppers We lose sight of who's counting on us to be there Alive and well by our sides for us to see clear Nobody wants to live in fear that you'll disappear 3 year plus type friends are getting too rare I see my girl in tears not for what I did She wants her father off the cigs to get to meet our kids I know she knows that addiction's doing the devils bids And that we need to have the confidence to shoot even when we miss That's it
