[Intro]
I keep it, we back, yeah
Ya dig? (Thinkin' 'bout)
Yeah, yeah (Know what I'm sayin'?)
Every n***a that, uh
[Verse]
Every n***a that's trippin' around me serve as reminder that
I gotta watch my step
I keep it quiet as kept (Ayy, ayy)
Yeah, I think I spent most of my life depressed (Most of my)
Only thing on my mind was d**h (On my)
Didn't know if my time was next (Next, yeah, yeah)
Tryna refine this sh**, I redefined myself
First I had to find it (Uh)
I couldn't find a friend, had to rely on my wits
I be with Mike and Med (Mike, Med)
Nowadays I be with Sage and with Six-press, ya dig?
I'm in L.A. with Glen, please come and claim ya kid
I cannot play with them (Yeah, yeah, whoa)
Let's try a different approach out
I celebrate with a toast
Brodie, you know if you with me we homebound (Homebound)
I need a city to hold down (Hold down)
You n***as gave me a coast (Yeah)
You went and gave me a cape (Cape)
But that never gave me no hope (Hope, yeah, hope, hope)
I found a new way to cope
It ain't no slave in my soul
But I keep the memories close by (Close by)
Even when I hit a low (I hit a low)
I still give thanks to the most high
I can't do favors no more
If you lame and you broke, and you waiting for cosign
I take a plate to go
Bread I could break with bro
Noose on my chain is gold
Tell me how you been faking the whole time? (Whole time)
That's how surveillance go
These n***as be playing for both sides
This sh** could take a toll
There ain't no- (Bro)
There ain't no- (Yeah)
It ain't no place to- (Nah)
[Outro]
Yeah
Yeah, yeah
Mm-mm-hmm
