[Intro]
City getting warm, but my heart stay froze
Lying through the teeth, let a n**uh stay sleep if he said I ain't cold, muhf**ah you know
Fronting on me, but I got what you need
sh** is easy if you bleed, got the music in my veins, all my new sh** bang, got em buzzing like bees
Ay tell me where you been muhf**a where you been at
Should've known back then I'd be talking to you now tell me can you hear that?
Resolution in the air, back when ain't nobody care, they weren't even tryna hear that
Well i was hoping you would feel it, now that I got your attention could you tell me where the real at ?
Tell me n**uh do you feel that ?
[Verse1]
Cuz this microphone is my livelihood
n**uhs act like I ain't from a livelihood
I'm a west coast n**uh that's a wolf in sheep's clothes i know n**uhs little red riding hood
I was writin good and they was hatin on it, now they lookin like he might be good
Now I'm all in the pictures like f** it homie get my good side, west side if the lighting good
Wish that i could turn the pages back
To back before I ever made a rap
Good kid with a bad mouth, on a bad route, cast out, man I hated that
But you don't get to turn pages back
Just learn from every mistake you made in fact
You can see it in my eyes, I got nothing but a hunnid on my mind that's why i was made to rap
[Bridge]
Where you been muhf**ah where you been muhf**ah where you been muhf**ah where you been
I was lookin for a friend, all I needed was a Mead and a bic click pen everything I had within
Everything I had within was a heart fulla loathing and fear, it's a shame I should find you here
Now you all on my back, telling me you got my back, but I'm glad that you back, where was you back then
[Hook]
Tell me something, tell me something
Where was you when I had nothing
I been all in on my own, see you now, I know I know, but tell me something , tell me something
Where was you when I had nothing
I been all in on my own, see you now, I know I know
[Bridge]
Sometimes I conversate with my conscience about confidence. I need help
Play my cards close to my chest, nobody see the pain a n**uh been dealt
They say it's all in my mind, search and you'll find the truth is that i ain't let my brother go, now he live through me
Take a look at what it did to me
[Verse2]
My conscience guilty and my mindset filthy, put a mic in my hands and I'm great
Say the gra** stay green on the side of the fence, till them n**uhs cut the gra**, you can't really see the snakes
You can't really see the snakes in your own backyard
They can't really see the fake in their own damn hearts
You can't even see the hate in the eyes of a man who despise and been lying to you ever since the start
If you too afraid to start, homie you already finished
If you ain't about to grind homie you won't ever get it
If you too afraid to raise your voice in opinion, then you made your choice homie they won't ever listen
When you ain't afraid to lose that's the minute that you winning
When you ain't got sh** to prove, that's the one they gon remember
When you ain't afraid to die for the words that you write down line after line that's the moment that you live
It's the beginning and you are not getting rid of me
I know you feel this energy
Tf i care about a hatin n**uh who ain't sh** to me?
I'm out for my amenities, future looking clear to me
The mastodon a doctor, sick n**uhs get the remedy
Ain't f**in mentally
I know you f**in kidding me
These hamsters in the cycle is the modern day epitome
Of rap n**uhs, super wack n**uhs, you the enemy
I'm back muhf**ah now tell me, are you feeling me ?
