Lyrics

One time for that street life, turned me into a beast One time for the weed, God, we ain't
Rolling no leaves One time for my dreams, I ain't talking about
When I sleep I won't quit, no, I won't resign
We ain't throwing no pieces I wanna tell you the hideous truth
Instead of disguise with beautiful lies I think it's the very least that I could do
Keep it a thousand till my demise Everyone double-cross for that loot
And I can't pretend I'm surprised They'll do it to them, then they'll do it
To you I don't do trust, and now you know why
So many people I know that are no longer with us
Are walking in certain flesh So many nights I spent just laying there
Restless, manifesting what's next So many moments I wanted to lose
And then blow up and get it all off of my chest I want you to feel all the pain that I felt
But at the same time, I wish you the best Like, how could you do me like that
I can see things will never be the same And to be honest, in the same breath
I can say some things will never change Try to make a little change
I don't really give a damn about the fame I don't really care about all the people
Out there They be slandering my name
Y'all playing with fire And I know there's a lot you must admire
Another year was just spent racing Chasing after all that I desire
Became a whole boss, I couldn't get higher I'm restless, but I'm tired
And I'ma keep trying to keep climbing Till my time has expired
Can't y'all see that I'm lost? I got the soul of a gypsy
I got the heart of a lion Fighting at the party
From getting too tipsy Nobody gets me
So I can no longer try to explain I can't determine my mental state
I feel like something's wrong with my brain Tell them I'm sane
Lie to them and tell them nothing's wrong with me
Yeah, I could be blazed Still trying to fire up the stronger wind
Yeah, what do I say when I carry the weight Of the world on my shoulders around every day
I'm tired of playing with people I came to crush anybody who gets in my way
Try to give my people a better life Instead of working for minimum wage
Didn't nobody care about the little kid That was filled up with venom and rage
And I was never the same Ever since the first second I stepped on the stage
I was turning dreams to reality And that gave me a lesson of faith
I wanna tell you the hideous truth Instead of disguise the beautiful lies
I think it's the very least that I can do Keep it a thousand till my demise
Everyone double-cross for that loot And I can't pretend I'm surprised
To do it to them, then I'll do it to you I don't do trust, and now you know why
One time for that street life Turned me into a beast
One time for the weed, God We ain't rolling no leaves
One time for my dreams I ain't talking about when I sleep
I won't quit, no, I won't resign We ain't throwing no peace signs
We ain't throwing no peace signs
