Lyrics

Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. Just show a n***a love, baby. Show a n***a what it does, baby. Yeah. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. I done glowed up, baby. Been through the flame, baby. This shit ain't the same. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. I done glowed up, baby. Been through the flame, baby. This life ain't no game, baby.
I can see the angels in the outfield, but I still got the devil on my shoulder. Tryna make sense of my life and the world, 'cause it feel like this shit getting colder. No, I can't fold under pressure. I carry my call, and I lift every boulder. My soulmate left me and had a baby. I guess that's supposed to be closure. But I ain't trippin gotta stay on my mission. I found clarity and got a new vision. I'm killin' everything, ain't askin' permission. I'm God body, got a real intuition. Feel the frequency, they know that I'm different. The blind gon' see, and then the deaf is gon' listen. Had to learn to love some folks from a distance, 'cause people switch up, they can change at any moment. Most bitches is witches; they really be tryna cast spells on the n***a. Most n****s be flippin and snitches do dirt and they tell on the n***a. Plottin' against me, but best believe that I ain't takin' no L's. And if I ever fall off, then I'm bouncin' right back and I'm givin' them hell.
Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. I never fell off, man; I only evolved. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. I never fell off, man; I only evolved. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. Just show a n***a love, baby. Show a n***a what it does, baby. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. I done glowed up, baby. Been through the flame, baby. This sh ain't the same. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. Don't try to treat me like the n***a I was. Just show a n***a love. This sh ain't the same, baby.
Never let him tell me sh, cause I know who I am. Try and test me get burned with this blick. And my sh never jam. Still that young n***a on go. Bitch, I stuck to the plan. Took some time and I dealt with my traumas. Now I feel like the man, yeah. Time to go harder than I ever did. Spent the last two years in my momma crib. I was 300 miles from the Broadies. Baby boy sh feelin' like Jodi. Cold nights n***a sh got lonely. Had to swallow my pride and look in the mirror, see what I would find. Fears and the doubts runnin' all through my mind. Felt like I was blind. I was a f**kboy, I was a player, I was a cheater, I was a hater. I'm bein' honest, I was too consumed by ego. I was less than overclouded and free coast. I was knockin. b**ches down like free throats. Smokin' L's by the 8th straight primo. Knowin' good and well that sh ain't me though. No, I had to separate to elevate. Then I had to meditate, rededicate. Get up in the Word instead of medicate, yeah. Understand, only God can judge. I just focus on self-love. And I done came too far to let you treat me like the n**ga I was.
Don't try to treat me like the n**ga I was. And just show a n**ga love, baby. Show a n**ga what it does, baby. Yeah. Don't try to treat me like the n**ga I was. I done glowed up. Been through the flame, baby. This sh ain't the same. Don't try to treat me like the n**ga I was. Don't try, uh. Don't try to treat me like the. n**ga, I was. Don't try to treat me like the n**ga I was. Don't try to treat me like the n**ga I was. Just show a n**ga love, baby. This sh ain't the same, baby. This life ain't no game, baby.
