[Intro]
You recording?
Alright, keep it— keep it all that in there
I'm on a different level right now, I know they hear it in my voice, nigga
(You know he DopeTrademark)
(D-Roc)
I don't know what I did to you
I just wanna see you happy, I hope you wanna see me too (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
Why these people talking down on a nigga like I ain't the one improved?
I don't like this industry, they choose me as the biggest fool
I don't pick and choose, I gotta kill him if he break the rules
What we been through, I cannot change, I thank God I grew
Loving the lights in the city
They make me feel bigger, they make me feel better
I been risking my life for to get it, I remain the hottest in the coldest weather
As long as that we got each other, I don't give a fuck if all this leaves
Since a child, kept me emotions on my sleeve
They don't wanna see me live, I gotta breath
'Til the day that I get killed, I'm gon' achieve
Forever showing my kids a better me
Fuck with these hoes, but you the one I want, I need
Forever be my wife, they forever try to win me
But they forever lose 'cause I could never ever leave
I'm forever thanking Jason for being my friend in need
On top of the water like the Statue of Liberty
This ain't the state of favor, ain't the state of equal or the state of peace
Screaming, "Blood", hold my flag up when I leave
Know I stood on business, probably chill, but I ain't never let them play with me
[Chorus]
She know (She know)
And I know (I know)
I ain't never ever let them take my soul (Never)
I been going with the flow like any way it go (Any way)
And I know that I can leave any day (Yeah)
I'll be gone on my way (Yeah)
Screaming everything I stand for
I hope my kids don't carry on
You ain't gotta live this way, I stacked some money, now you on
[Verse 2]
Know I keep that chrome, brother call my phone, uh
I tell him leave it 'lone even though I want him gone, uh
But that's how I'm feeling at the moment and I hate feeling like I'm wrong
I don't want it getting the best of me, I don't like to even raise my tone
But I be singing on these beats like it's all I got
I be getting into it with my Jaz, hope she don't call me out
My daddy be getting into it with Tracy, but he going all out
'Cause I know for a fact he love her and he won't never walk out
Herm caught his girl cheating and took her back, motivation to me
I be keeping God inside my head while the devil holding my feet
Like, bitch, you cheat on me, you will never get forgiveness from me
'Cause I be knowing that I'm wrong and you know you who I need
Grandmother had it done as a child, but I say I need to be baptized again
For to wash away these sins
I don't wanna live this way, I don't never wanna ever have to murder again
But this the way that life is, this the life that I live
I'll be thugging forever
Forever thinking I'm smart, but knowing that I ain't too clever
Forever holdin' my heart 'cause I'm caught up with the devil
But know that I'm Jesus' brother and tribulations won't settle
[Chorus]
She know (She know)
And I know (I know)
I ain't never ever let them take my soul (I ain't never)
I been going with the flow like any way it go
And I know that I can leave any day (I can leave)
I'll be gone on my way (On my way)
Screaming everything I stand for
I hope my kids don't carry on
You ain't gotta live this way, I stacked some money, now you on
[Verse 3]
Like, how you wanna do it? I don't want my brothers to do it
So I go load up in that car, you know I'm ready to do it to 'em
I'm too influenced
Sad I show to the kids who in tune to it
I hear that sound of that Glock and I start making music to it
They don't love me, no, my daddy had to leave and do time
But I know for a fact Montana holding on to his child
I turned that man to a millionaire, but damn, I still can't never repay him for his time
Remember times he would cry
I done slept up on his couch
Just wanna see him and my mama smile
My sister get anything she want, I say it been a while
We done came a long way from Tara High
They done seen me wear the same clothes, I'm like, "Look at me now"
Know Ben wanna grow, he wanna stop just 'cause his child
If you don't never reach the height, know Tru and BB that I got
I thank God for this growth, I come from nothin', they can have what I got
I ain't tripping now as long as I can take care of mines and ours
[Chorus]
She know (She know)
And I know (I know)
I ain't never ever let them take my soul (I ain't never)
I been going with the flow like any way it go
And I know that I can leave any day (Yeah)
I'll be gone on my way
Screaming everything I stand for
I hope my kids don't carry on (Oh)
You ain't gotta live this way, I stacked some money, now you on (Oh)
[Outro]
Uh
You ain't gotta live this way
I done stacked too much money, man
You'll disappoint me if you get off into some shit like this
I don't want— I don't wanna live this way no more, you know?
Like, I got people, like, who just carry on with this shit because I, I got us into it
It ain't cool at all
You know, and you hearing this— you hearing this from me, personal, myself, you know?
But I say, you know, God got us through anything
So you stay prayed up, you know?
And anywhere I'm at, should just, you know, believe that I'm prayed up
That I been prayed up
Since the day my mama taught me how to pray
A person like me, they could never break
A person like us, they gon' forever hate
But we got friends and we got goals that remove that trait
That trait of life, you know?
And I'm holding up longer than a bridge, that's my favorite saying
But you know that you daddy's lil' girl, you daddy's son
And you got, you got my daddy, both of 'em, Montana and Jeffrey for you to call on
You got my brothers Ben, Big B, KD, Herm, Baby Joe
Even if I'm— if I'm forgetting the rest, you got all them to call on
So please just know that you don't have to do none of this
It's forever, 4L
NBA 4KTrey
You can stand on that, but please don't bang
Gang
