[Verse 1] Hearing sh** they say about me though I know Everybody makes mistakes you shake it off and then you grow Hearing questions bout a tour or if I'm heading on the road All these dudes in the way hating on a n***a flow Do you keep it real with n***as? Do you write your own rhymes? Do you have a girlfriend and a side at the same time? Do you remember we related? Remember that you my cousin? I clearly don't remember, half of y'all n***as be frontin' Do you smoke? Do you drink? Thinking my past is luck up And lies spread about me really had a n***a f**ed up But through all the commotion, I haven't said a thing Kept my mouth still for real clearly grew up with things I know that man hurtin', sh** that break-up was perfect Brought me back to Earth, mind was on a different surface Connects I was losing, myself I was foolin' Slacking on my career cause a piece of p**y was ruling, sh** My dad kept me cool, Nana made be strong Although my uncle gone through me he gone live on I'm praying that I live long. Do you think that I will? Have a ton of money so I leave my kids up in my will? Do you believe that sh**? So I just sit back quick At night I take a knee and pray for them that's real sh** It'd probably be different if I just knew you But I ain't frontin' bout nothing believe me Do you? [Verse 2] Verse 2, too many people all up in my business Too many n***as talk, but when I see them in person, attitude switches Too many hoes, too many playas, too many fakes Want to pick an escape, but sh** there's just too many states Too many b**hes fell up in my direction Too many meaning a lot, that's way too many erections Too many times thought I'd get signed and not a call I was receiving not believing my timing was off Went through too many brakes, was setting too many traits But in my last, kept it G, like my first name was Blake I had too many sleepless nights Too many times was in the dark up in my crib cause no money for lights Too many times dad was selling that rock Too many times where I see my mother up on that block Not too many people home wish a n***a would blow And not too many times that sh** hit me in my soul, uh Two n***as ride one n***a died and got popped Retaliation got uncle 5 and that girl shot Too many wakes too many children that grow Without their f**ing parents, abandoned and living poor, listen I take the leading way followers take the same route Accomplishing what I was born to do while you n***as doubt Can give a f** about if you think you care where I came from Or think another reason where I got my name from You feeling that I'm vein I had all this sh** deep in my brain
You can bet all the odds I'll be the same I hate this bullsh** up in the game, this sh** ain't the same [Verse 3] I dedicate this for, for everybody saying I was cool For people that believed in me when I was making moves For everybody in my section For my family, for the man upstairs with the gift to be a deadly weapon Things ain't the same how it should be Though I'm standing right here don't overlook me, look I'd rather vent instead of asking for help So I thank all of y'all cause I ain't do it myself, That's Real [Outro] I want to start off by thanking the man upstairs, I want to thank my dad My mother, everybody in my family, my grandmother, all my aunts Lots of love to my little sister Nariya, my brother Jaheim, Destiny, all y'all R.I.P to my uncle Mikey, love you man, miss you Shout out to my little cousins love y'all all Big thank you to the best managers in the world, the Watson Brothers Noah, love you my n**s, Big shout out to my producer Jeremy J, My homie Tommy Victoria, Trav, Cav, my homie David, my n***as Chris and Al, my homie Mo Cheddar My n***a Sam Dog, Moma Cloe I love you woman, your the coolest in the world My n***a Midget Matt, that n***a's hilarious.
