My mother behind on rent

My father not here, he cancelled the flights

My living got more intense

I hope this time I can make it right

My sisters were home when I left

That red flag nothing to play with, shawty

(The fish was home when you left)

(You're right)

(Your daddy, your momma—)

My sister, my brother

My dog, my cat, the fish was home when I left, okay

And that's the reason I left, okay

And that's the reason I step (that's the reason)

The weight be giving me stress, uh-huh, my hairline look like a mess, uh-huh

My mother was crying, my father was dying, when I get home I'll pay the—
