Signs

[Verse]

I asked the Lord to send me a sign

I thought that I was blind

'Cause I ain't ever see the sign but the sign showed after time

And when I finally realized, it was too late to rewind

Guess I was just waiting on that sign

So I got up and went out on my grind

'Cause I used to cry 'cause ain't no food in the house

Seein' all the older niggas, man, they used to shine

Used to have the pretty girls and I just hoped that they was mine (Mm-mm)

Hypnotized, I was just nine

Black boy robbed a nigga right in front of my eyes

Rapping killed time, the years flew by

'Til I got old enough to run up on you with the .9

The light man, we became friends

I see him so much, he cuttin' off the light again? (Mm-mm)

I know his name, co-workers and his kid

He ain't comin' in the work truck, he comin' in his van

The more my stomach growled, the more I wanna lay a nigga down

Take yo' shit and make 'em cry

Mama got robbed in July, I watched her cry

So I don't care about yours 'cause they ain't care about mine

But look at me now, they told me, "Settle down"

PBL charges got me waiting on trial (Mm-mm)

Oh, so you know now?

The sign read "Never know until you find out"

The things I found out

But they don't understand what goes on in my house

Ain't no love if you broke

'Cause if you're broke, they treat you like a bad joke

They don't even wanna laugh wit' you

When you shittin' on 'em, you can make 'em do anything

They'll even wipe your ass for you

In this world full of fame and pretty girls

It can make your mind swirl

But you just gotta think, the devil, he gon' play

Get in your brain, have you runnin' in them banks

But now, I just want the world to scream my name

Don't even club, I'm the reason why they came (Mm-mm)

Takin' people shit, I'm the reason for they pain

Baker Act, I'm all the way insane

Poking houses, goin' crazy 'bout them chains

Them Cuban links and them rings

It's deep, the sign, I couldn't see

Man, look at me now, I'm gettin' weak

Damn, look at me now, I can't sleep

Oh, look at your boy, I can't eat

I'on think, ain't never think

All for some money, I might blow it all in a week (Mm-mm)

But it's Kodak, you niggas know that

I'm 'bout whatever and I'll hit a nigga like a road rat

But fuck that, right now, I'm chilling

Slow money 'cause fast money will get me sentenced

I was in it, they say I'm a menace

Say I'm sleepin', and when I wake up I'll be in prison (mm-mm)

I'm chilling, this how I'm feeling

Give me a deal, give me mill' so I'm finished

Forget it, I'm still willing

To mask up and hit yo' granny for a penny

They say I'm stupid, say I'm foolish

Kamikaze, Baker Act, but I know what I'm doing

Fuck school, everybody on the campus

I did it so I'm ready for all of the consequences

Hard to trust a nigga, do I know you?

They hate lil' Kolyon, so paranoid, might have to blow you

Fuck a friend, family too, I'on know you

Bastard child, hey daddy, I'on know you (Mm-mm)

[Outro]

Mm-mm (Mm-mm), mm-mm

It's gon' change, gon' change

It's gon' rain, gon' rain

I feel pain, feel pain

Just got to maintain, maintain (Mm-mm)

It's gon' change, gon' change

It's gon' rain, gon' rain

I feel pain, feel pain

Just got to maintain, maintain

It's gon' change, gon' change

It's gon' rain, gon' rain

I feel pain, feel pain

Just got to maintain, maintain (Mm-mm)
