[Verse 1 - Regg]
It's like my, grandmother died when I needed to ease the rain
No matter how much I hug my mama it didn't ease the strain
The lights cut off so I couldn't really see her face
But I didn't need visuals to feel her pain
It's funny how the senses work, its senseless how we came
From snatching purses to scratching surface to have a lane
The cops is coming, I watch you running, huffing to leave the game
While my friends puffin and humpin raw to be the man
They living reckless, my window was the only view
As i'm peering through, roaches crawl out of my cereal
I'm sicker than most of you, it gets worse when my sisters hungry
It feels like poverty is trying to take my siblings from me
I don't smoke but the peer pressure got me choking now
I'm broke, and Sallie Mae making sure that im staying round
Sweat is soaking now
That's why the flow so versatile
The stress is sort of like these hoes
I try to hold em down
[Verse 2 - Don Cypha]
They been asking how im feeling lately
Thinking Don done lost his feelings maybe
Like i ain't been stressin', countin' blessings till my visions hazy
They say in due time it'll all pay off
Couple dollars for the pain plus menage a trois
My heart stay frost
Cause I been taking no days off
Too busy sparrin' with demons so the sword stay sharp
Make sure the bars stay raw
So even when I dumb it down for these f**ing clowns they yellin' "Yo Don went off"
I cross spray arms
Like I can't trust a soul
Watching over my shoulder, paranoia made me cold
Asking where do I go
Ain't no time to be lacking gotta stack em quick
Before this life takes a drastic shift
Im asking sh**, can I live?
Comfortably pa** the spliff
Ash it quick
Under trees feet up with the baddest b**h
Asses stick
With all n***as round me outchea stackin' chips
Thats all I want before my casket dips
I swear
[Verse 3 - Canvas]
A young n***a with an O.G. soul
Lost in my thoughts, I just want the semi to blow
Sippin' liquor on the row, fake love i'm exposed
I think its time for me to move out and live on my own
My little brother just got high for the f**ing first time
Wonder why he hit the stage where there's a lot on his mind
My pops looked in his eyes say "How the f** can you do this?"
And turns around and points to me said i'm the bad influence
How the f** when all I do is try to keep your pride inside?
You should know this f**ing weed will never stop the f**ing grind
I understand your concern and you want the best in our lives
But its time that I decide, my mind said do or die
All I want to do is survive, I ain't working no 9 to 5
If you listen close to our hearts, you can hear our family cry, "Oh Lord"
They never understand cause we ain't the same
Switch lanes mother f**er come and feel my pain
n***a
[Verse 4 - F.L.O.]
Not a bit of support from my peers, friends and my relatives
From every verse I spat was bad, now rappin' like I never did
Every lane is sh** now
When you realizing you nice-a and can shut some sh** down
Cause you're just the sh** now
Ain't this what you did it for?
The glory, the fame? Dreams to make a little more
Money in your pocket, thats the mother f**ing plan
Ain't you do this sh** to be the mother f**ing man?
And I can see us rising
But I do this till i'm dust man, I just love the rush
I keep grinding till I know, that i'm on and this is my show
I been going through some stuff, but I can get enough
I'mma do this till i'm up, been known to live it up
Just striving to make hits
Been up for five days, bout to make six
