Lyrics

Back then it was a lot simpler on road
I Used to feed a bag of cats but still give a dog a bone
Had a full time job and a family at home
And I used to work the streets on the corners selling crow
I Started off on 3.5s and moving up to an O
Built it up now got them boxes then built a throne
Robin Hood in whips we used to ram when we bow
I Got the mandem on the strip they were the back to our bones
On my corner stoned I built my corner stone
Made my empire higher than the water rose
Soul was so cold freezing made the water froze
Took 5 years slow and steady yh the tortoise knows
And back then some of youse might of known
I was never into bitches but I LYCA phone
One of the nicest bros
Not into knifing bros over 9s nd o's
I'd Rather fly than fall
And stoop to your level no lesser
I won't be coerced by the devil I know that im better
 just Tryna rake in that cheddar
 in the warzone im meta in whatever
Can't ignite cos my tether is wetter strip my back made of leather twinkletoes light as feather
Now
Check this
I'm So clever whether weather just switch up a letter hit the perfect hatrick with this left to right and finish with my header
Hood trapper with morales no matter the season
Id always give if I could even the air that im breathing
But sometimes id let it slip
A momentary lapse of reason
We all make mistakes
Even angels have demons
Just looking out for fam so tried to put the life beneath me
I showed the phone was off but she said she dint believe me
I said I left the life of green but someone must have put the screen in cos she was screaming then the demon was released spitting embers of hell as she was breathing From that a part of me would break so if your wondering there's a place I lost a piece in
I hit the Yay with all the stress that I was dealing
Climbing over mountains so I only have to deal with hills and fuck the bills
Id been paying for it all ya heathen now bitch its time to see how it feels to to deal with all the stress that I was dealing with
happiness comes at a price instead you just leeching you didn't pay a dime towards our EDEN
At my peak I was over 20 stone then a rapid decline over a short period of time I lost the size
Fuck diets depression hits you just right
I was like what's food Just give me a line
Holding back the tears till the feeling hits inside
Then in that time of bliss sink into peace of mind
But when you gotta comedown again your cutting the line no longer a cut In my mind
Shits still too bright just white in my eyes is what im seeing
No longer believing
Hoping for the ground beneath him to eat him
Rather live in hell than deal with the stress that would keep me
In the cold im freezing you took my soul you broke the lock and also thrown the keys in
But I went and grasped out
Done with the nights when I passed out
Even the boys and cars naww fuck the weed and bars fam nah
nuff of the trauma you caused damn
Bloogzy bro im done out
I need to think of my past and think of a way to get past that
Whoa whoaI need to cool it
No longer time to be the fool and the jester to your calling
Money over tears the only reason I should be balling I should be calling your bluff stand up real tall and shout who's the fool then
Inew caw no longer stalling here's the hole your turn to fall in
Once a soldier that was fallen resurrected holy fortunate enough to be loyal to myself no longer denying my health or denying to get help realising cryings just a yelp and im flying to my wealth
Money isn't reason but I know its gunna help
To the north from the south with my girl in the middle thats my own orions belt
So I keep on rhyming
Cause a pile up and while im styling stop crying and denying it wasn't your fault you were the one that Was lying and I figured it out all to myself in my emotional cell where was you?
I paid your bills I paid your rent
Your hair your makeup and the rest
your car your test your gnarly friends
Took your kids under my pretence
Gave you money gave you sense 33 where was my sense 15 years is to big a fence
But instead for years I just pretend
3 kids I would Befriend a. Mistake I would never forget or regret
So now I don't compromise like bob Dylan said I dont care if I see that fucking bitch again
