Lyrics

Yeah

Late Night

Talking to you for a minute

Uh

I been stuck in the same damn hallway

Same paint peeled off of the doorway

Mama crying, saying Boy just call me

I ain't wanna tell her that I'm all way

Down bad same shoes from the tenth grade

Cold floor had to sleep on my friend's place

Bros died got they names in my phone still

Scroll through can't delete that's a slow kill

I was sharing one plate that was four spoons

Whole block learned to pray off of bad news

Every siren sound feel like déjà vu

Every mirror that I pass I don't face that dude

Who gon' ride when the smoke get thick?

Who gon' slide when it's more than pics?

Had to learn that the love got limits

Had to burn that bridge just to live with it

I've been trying but I'm stuck in my head

Late night all these ghosts in my bed

Hood dreams but the pain don't end

I just need one win I just need one friend

If I fall would you still stay loyal?

If I break, would you bleed this soil?

Got scars that the world can't see

(Yeah)

It's hard being you and me

I've been trying, but I'm stuck in my head

Late night, all these ghosts in my bed

Hood dreams, but the pain don't end

Say you're down, don't you fold, don't bend

I remember using T-shirts for a curtain

Water brown from the tap, still we sipped it

Unc gone, he was fighting his own urges

I was praying that the coffin had the wrong name printed

Court dates had my cousin in his church clothes

Judge staring like he never seen hurt before

Tears falling on the county floor tiles

He was just a kid, but they gave him grown time

Phone calls from the cell sound distant

Promise that I'd make it out different

But I'm still in the same damn system

Same block, same ops, same tension

Loyalty a word they ain't live yet

Say "love," but they move for the quick check

So I keep a small circle like a silhouette

If you with me in the rain, you my biggest flex

(yeah)

I've been trying, but I'm stuck in my head

Late night, all these ghosts in my bed

Hood dreams, but the pain don't end

I just need one win, I just need one friend

If I fall, would you still stay loyal?

If I break, would you bleed this soil?

Got scars that the world can't see

(Oh) it's hard being you and me

I've been trying, but I'm stuck in my head

Late night, all these ghosts in my bed

Hood dreams, but the pain don't end

Say you're down, don't you fold, don't bend

All this weight on my back

Can't lie, I relapse in my mind sometimes (yeah)

I be staring at the cracks in the ceiling

Like they holding all my secrets inside

If I don't make it out, tell my brothers that I tried

Tell my mama that her baby really fought for his life

And if I disappear, you can hear me in the night

Every word, every tear in this mic (yeah)

I've been trying, but I'm stuck in my head

Late night, all these ghosts in my bed

Hood dreams, but the pain don't end

I just need one win, I just need one friend

If I fall, would you still stay loyal?

If I break, would you bleed this soil?

Got scars that the world can't see

(Yeah) it's hard being you and me

I've been trying, but I'm stuck in my head

Late night, all these ghosts in my bed

Hood dreams, but the pain don't end

Say you're down, don't you fold, don't bend
