(Hook) Just give me a moment I'll get back to all the punchlines in time, just tryina clear some sh** off my mind… so please… Give me a moment I understand yall want some jams yall can dance too, Understand me like I understand you… and Give me a moment Some time alone to cope with the stress, sh**… this life can make a n***a depressed… so Just give me a moment… That's all I need Give me a moment… I give you all of me just Give me a moment, please… Just give me a moment... (Verse 1) You try to help them, cuz you see yourself in them... That real sh**... when they hurt, you felt for them... When the love is not returned, wish well for them... But then the hate surfaces, the hell wit them... I used to say I'd die so that they'd see they future I felt I would take bullets for my n***as, the truth-hurts... If you-search... The same ones you would take shots for... End up being the shooters... It's true,-church... Do-work, take no less than you-worth… You can't provide if you're down… so put You-first… sh** a n***a had to come up alone… Results when the hate starts to come from the home… I'm grown, I ain't b**hin… don't spend my time wishing Just full of grind and ambition, placed in a time to get it… I'm all in until the boy win… They request time off, I call in…. the work don't stop (Hook) (Verse 2) Ya'll think that the sh**s sweet, see billboards, and smiles all the time… Still runnin… a hundred thousand miles on this grind Every day questions bout the time that I'll be signed… Liven wit moms, I feel like I'm a child when inside… Why yall think I'm on the road so much? Well that, and, I guess I feel I'm owed so much What yall thought, that I just be there postin up? That's just the sh** I tell the b**hes that I'm posta f**… I was smart of sh**, just tardy a bit Plus... ain't have the drive for getting scholarships n sh**… I'd admit, my patience is low, ain't really got the tolerance For the system of waiting years to bring them dollars in… To hold that focus is blessing Failings a high risk in my field, with a hard life lesson… I don't get no degrees for my statuses achieved… Still I place my life on the line till the time that I leave... (Hook) (Verse 3) I got people hitting my phone up claiming a n***a changed… Like anything around me's the same Man, I'm just tryina stay sane If you listen try to vision my pain I'll give my best descriptions of the strains… check When you hurtin for 7 years, when ya n***a gets locked… And by n***a I mean brother, man that sh** is lot He was selling crack to fix up his plot, and he'll be out in a year And it's up to you to keep that kid off the block Cuz those jobs don't go to felons And u don't go from thousands a day to minimum wage, soon he'll end up back selling That jack ringing, slinging, and the snitches back telling And if I ain't helping the f** are you posed to tell'em? man So I'm just tryina make sh** work Mannnn f** tryina change this earth First they claim your worth… is way lower then you made it, then you make it work… and prove em wrong, then… hold on… First they talk about you present, and everything you have…. until you get more then they talk about ya past All in which u pa**ed, they just tryina bring you back And once you pa** that… then they claim that you won't last… No matter what had did, they don't acknowledge that Their fantasy hating world somehow puts aside the facts The bullsh** is a trap, don't get caught inside of that Never thru they eyes will I see where I am at… I succeed I succeed, there's a lot of I in that… They discredit my successes I ain't got no time for that I told myself I'll do it, I ain't put no try in that… I just went outside and got it… ain't no need to cry for that… Now I'm cool with the agony, of all of these n***as mad at me More so because I do no wrong to them, sadly… As my success grows, then so does the hate gradually Still I wish yall n***as well… and live happily (Hook)
