Lyrics

I never understood, why these motherfuckers hate the guerilla

I guess they want me from the jump, cause I was after my scrilla

Ain't nothing realer, then your partna standing with his hands out

Then this hating stand out

I don't really give a fuck, cause I been seeing shit for what it is

**** try to get what they can get, and that's just what it is

Grown ass men, with the ways of a broad **** fraud

And they day gon be coming, I swear to God

**** wanna be the captain, but they ain't part of my team

Asshole to the death, so my love is seldom seen

Stress got a **** sitting in the corner loading up

Plus that hoop full of tint, keep on rolling up

Paranoid that the reaper, might be coming to get me

And fuck the price over my head, it won't be easy to get me

I'm a guerilla trained, so it won't be easy to hit me

And for plotting behind my back, you need to take it up with me

Bitch ass ****

I'd rather be solo doing my thang, cause **** ain't around

Unless a **** coming off change, **** wanna play it shife mayn

So I know, I gotta stay on top of my game

You know, I gotta stay on my toes

A **** gotta grind, till I go yeah

It's still the same shit, **** in the hood ain't change

They still gossip like a bitch, and quick to speak on your name

But when a **** come around, it ain't too much to be said

So I don't even pay em mind, I stick to getting bread

Never been the hardest on the block, so I ain't gotta prove shit

Bitch I'm standing where I want, so I ain't gotta move shit

Understand me when I say, that I ain't fucking with ****

Cause all they egos and they pride, will have me touching them ****

Now tell me who the fuck are you, to tell me if I'm right or wrong

You was nowhere to be found, when I was dying all alone

**** say that they my dogs, shit they barely know my name

All they know is that I spit, and keep a little bit of fame

With a little bit of hoes, and a little bit of change

And a attitude, to get a **** body rearranged

And I'm known for being worse, when it come to disrespect

If you don't think that I'm the truth, you better go and check

I guess these **** ain't got nothing

Else to do, but try to fuck with Trae

And if they want this problem, I promise it ain't gon go away

I tried to keep it cool and play it calm, but **** took it for weak

Fuck faking, I let my attitude speak

I been trying to do my best, but my best just ain't enough

**** fucked it up in ten seconds, from thinking that they tough

See this shit could be avoided, but they pride done got em lost

And the shit could of been smooth, but they pride done got em tossed

All this motherfucking hating, got me getting off a track

I can't let em come try to do me, fuck the fact that I rap

See these **** get it twisted, thinking everything's a game

Till the shit get out the fan, and introduced they ass to pain

Sometimes I gotta ask the Lord, to try to help me walk it straight

But everytime I try to take a step, I see that it's too late

So the only other way to live my life, is if I'm dipping alone

Fuck these **** I give a fuck about, us getting along bitch
