This Is Not a Robbery

[Verse 1]

Been tryna live clean, still got nothin' to show

And life’s been fuckin' me, I must've dropped the soap

I fight authority, teachers and all the moves you makin’

Take everything, I gotta drop it upon your fuckin' plate

I fight addiction, all my mom's suicide attempts

A bunch of people who don't listen that I don't write to vent

Dropped out of school, it's been a hustle and a fight

Since Mike got shot outside that bar tryna sling tickets

Tryin' to take control, I'm losin’ it lovely, though

And you can bring all your rein

I’m goin' insane, but you cannot break me, no

I’ma rip the game, and none of y'all can spit the same

And I don't claim the best, I only claim my city

[Pre-Chorus]

Vegas made me, tryna break me, and maybe

I am crazy, save me, please baby

Don't let me go, I’m slowly slippin' away lately

All I been through made me everything I'm not, and what

(Doesn't kill you is gonna try 'til they finished the job)

[Chorus]

Takin' back the night (Night)

I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)

I've given everything just to live my life

And you just sit back

So put your hands up

This is not a robbery

I'm takin' back what's mine

You can't stop me!

Takin' back the night (Night)

I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)

I've given everything just to live my life

And you just sit back

So put your hands up

This is not a robbery

I'm takin' back what's mine

You can't stop me!

[Verse 2]

I guess it's all just fun and games until the gloves come off

I spent my life the butt of yo jokes, the underdog

I battled my fuckin' reflection on the daily basis

I still got the scars to prove I'm not alright in a couple places

We're from drugs and fightin', lost on my own spite, then

Learned to use my past when I write raps, we bottled that lightnin'

Overthrow the system, rage against the machine

And you can take all that you want, 'cause they won't hand you dreams

I'm pushin' the limit and givin' it everything, I will not retreat

And all of the shit you talked, I'm returnin' it like I kept receipts

So simply, ain't no one should fuck with me

Like a bitch off of her pill and couple boxes of broke jimmies

[Pre-Chorus]

Vegas made me, didn't break me

I am crazy, save me, please baby

Don't let me go, I'm slowly slippin' away lately

All I been through may make everything I'm worth, and what

(Doesn't kill you is gonna try until you killed it first)

[Chorus]

Takin' back the night (Night)

I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)

I've given everything just to live my life

And you just sit back

So put your hands up

This is not a robbery

I'm takin' back what's mine

You can't stop me!

Takin' back the night (Night)

I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)

I've given everything just to live my life

And you just sit back

So put your hands up

This is not a robbery

I'm takin' back what's mine

You can't stop me! (Stop me)

[Bridge]

This is not a robbery

You can't stop me

This is not a robbery

You can't stop me

[Chorus]

Takin' back the night (Night)

I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)

I've given everything just to live my life

And you just sit back

So put your hands up

This is not a robbery

I'm takin' back what's mine

You can't stop me!

Takin' back the night (Night)

I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)

I've given everything just to live my life

And you just sit back

So put your hands up

This is not a robbery

I'm takin' back what's mine

You can't stop me!
