Lyrics

I heard want a report on where I been at
To keep it simple
I done been forth
And I done been back
And I done bent backwards for people who simply was acting
Like they cared about a n**** til I seen it was cap
I feel like all my life I been one of the fanciest clowns
Remember all the times n***** left me stranded to drown
I considered too many n***** as family, now
It's too many squares in my circle
N*****can't be my rounds
So I'm standing around, thinking
"Maybe I'M the issue"
Maybe i'm the reason solutions are hard to get to
Making general statements
Knowing who they gon stick to
Hoping the shoe fits
When I never tried to fit shoes
All the b****** is for the birds in the treetops
I’m tryna spread my wings, while staying grounded like peacocks
And shit don't change until you detox
And time gon tell
If you push the right buttons
like a G-Shock
My Reboks is red
My New Balances blue
And s*** dont always be like that
But sometimes it do
And even when you think it's stronger than gorilla glue
If it come to you too easy
Then it’s too good to be true
I said my Reboks is red, My New Balances blue
And s*** dont always be like that
But sometimes it do
You can't only focus on what other people do to you
Every time you point the finger
It’s fingers pointing at you
I'm looking in the mirror
And I really don't like what I see
I'm looking in the mirror
But I don't know who's staring right back at me
'Cause
I'm standing face-to-face with my flaws
You sad, you mad
My bad, it's my fault
I apologize for all that I've caused
But you can't ever get back the time lost
N***** be tryna cheat life
Thinking that they slick & s***
Thinking they gon miss the consequences when they hit
They gon think they hit a lick on life
And life gon hit a sicker lick
And bring they ass back full circle
It's all cyclic
What goes around
Goes around some more
Then come back to bite
You might not get your issue when you living
but the afterlife gon be something crazy
You really reap what you sow
N***** plant seeds of destruction
Then hate to see when they grow
That's what I keep my distance
You calling me out?
Then you gon meet resistance
N***** insisted that I sit and fix my image
But s***, we ever gon reach the truth
We got conflicting interests
I'm sensing consistent thoughts that it's my fault & I be tripping
So this my sorry for 2004 and every year that followed
My gut feeling should’ve been full of pride that I swallowed
It's really up to you if love me or love me not
Just had to speak my piece before I peace out
Peace out
My Reboks is red
My New Balances blue
And s*** dont always be like that
But sometimes it do
And even when you think it's stronger than gorilla glue
If it come to you too easy
Then it’s too good to be true
I said my Reboks is red, My New Balances blue
And s*** dont always be like that
But sometimes it do
You can't only focus on what other people do to you
Every time you point the finger
It’s fingers pointing at you
I'm looking in the mirror
And I really don't like what I see
I'm looking in the mirror
But I don't know who's staring right back at me
'Cause
I'm standing face-to-face with my flaws
You sad, you mad
My bad, it's my fault
I apologize for all that I've caused
But you can't ever get back the time lost
