[Chorus]
Like a person needs his soul
Like the winter needs the cold
Just talk to 'em for a minute
Ayy, just talk to 'em for a minute
Like the baby needs to cry
If you go I swear I'll die
[Verse 1]
How the fuck I'm free out here and you locked in there
Your whole family acts like I don't care
They don't know about the nights I just lay in my bed
I can't even sleep, I just lay in my bed
Eyes full of tears and a heart full of pain
Take deep breaths every time I hear your name
You was more than family, you was like my brother
So when the shit went down it's like I lost my brother
And I wish we could trade places
Swear to God, dawg, wish we could trade places
Livin' a life of crime, but it wasn't your life it was more like mine
I often think about the close calls we had
And I often think about the close brawls we had
And I love my nigga, what you know bout that
And I'll do anything to get Golmouf back talk to 'em
[Chorus]
Like a person needs his soul
Like the winter needs the cold
Make 'em understand, ayy
Make 'em understand
Like a baby needs to cry (Please, make 'em understand, look)
If you go I swear I'll die (Ayy, ayy, look, talk to 'em)
[Verse 2]
Mel Man, you my heart, I swear to god
Knew you was real, man, I saw it from the start
Even when I was wrong, my nigga had my back
Even when I was right, my nigga had my back
We used to laugh, wasn't shit funny
Late night at my grandma house counting money
I trust you with my life, dawg
If I was married, I'd trust you with my wife, dawg
Any given time a half a mill in your possession
You ain't called in two days man I still wasn't stressing
'Cause when I talk my nigga listen
Switch shit, you used to help me with them pigeons
Ernestine won't talk to me, dawg, and it hurts
She treat a nigga like I'm the scum of the earth (Scum of the earth)
In your eyes I couldn't do no wrong
So to you I dedicate this song
[Chorus]
Like a person needs his soul
Like the winter needs the cold (Ayy, talk to 'em for me, my nigga)
(Yeah, feel me on this one, make 'em understand)
Like a baby needs to cry (Ayy, talk to 'em, I don't think they understand me, my nigga, talk to 'em)
If you go I swear I'll die
[Verse 3]
Must've bust ten rounds through the strap in your lap
Knew I was a gangsta I wasn't going for that
Pussy nigga in my yard? Talkin' shit?
Knowin' damn well I was on some G shit?
Let the whole clip ride and didn't think
Let the whole clip ride and didn't blink
You asked me kindly don't bring the white in the house
And then what I do, bring the white in the house
Bricks in the attic and ye'en know?
Your grandson's killin' them, he's gettin' 24
Feds at the door, I'm out of town
You ain't tell 'em shit, you held me down
Now a-days, I rock the mic, I'm getting paid for that
And all the shit I been through, I'm getting paid for that
Always said I would make it, wish you could see me now
But if I tried to tell her, she probably wouldn't believe me now
Love you Mattie Lou
[Chorus]
Like a person needs his soul
Like the winter needs the cold (Real talk, ayy, ayy)
(You don't know what you got 'til it's gone, nigga)
(Real talk, real niggas do real things, nigga)
Like a baby needs to cry (Ayy, real talk nigga)
If you go I swear I'll die (Mel Man, Golmouf, y'all already know what it is, nigga)
[Outro]
Mattie Lou
Rest in peace, real talk (Peace, baby)
Lost everybody in one year, nigga, I'm still here
Ain't shed a tear, ain't shed a thought, nigga
I'm still here, nigga
Real niggas do real things, nigga
Fuck it, I'm here, nigga
Ain't going no motherfuckin' where, nigga
Fuck what you think about me, nigga
Get your shit together, come see me, nigga
Real talk, nigga, 124, nigga, the 'Ville, nigga...
