Lyrics

Thought About You

[Verse 1]

I just wanna get my bread

And talk my shit 'fore I end up dead

I got all this blood sitting on my hands

I never gave no fuck, so they understand

Why I feel this way, just found God and I still don't pray

'Cause Satan prey on the weak, swear I can do it myself

Soul stuck in the beats, it's like I'm crying for help

Still, my expression is bleak

Because my momma ain't raised no bitch

Never take no shit from no nigga 'less he wanna see the black four-fifth

From the ghetto where the oceans is, but all hope is lost

We know the laws and quick to break 'em once the dough involved

Young age, they wrote us off, guns blaze, they go to court

I got a lot of homies gone, product of they broken home

But who to say what's right and wrong? They ain't live it

Looking straight into their eyes still, and they ain't get it

[Chorus]

But if I had a hundred dollars for every dream that I ever had

I'd barely have enough to right the wrongs I did in the past

They say forgive and forget, look at it and laugh

We gave all that we had and got nothing

[Verse 2]

As far as music, kid, I'm innovative, niggas pretend to hate it

Influence you niggas' favorite, you stupid believing different

Authentic, you lack the stitching

Sitting when it's game time, snitching when you face time

What's wrong with you niggas?

See, I was brought up where that talking get you shot up at apartments

Where the bitch that set you up had told you meet her just that morning

Just a warning, my performance astounding

Everybody want something, get these niggas from round me

Tryna climb skyscrapers

Life is but a dream, but it's never what it seems

So I never leave my weapon at the house

Rather spend time sitting behind bars than in the grave

I'm getting paid tryna change from my sinning ways

[Chorus]

But if I had a hundred dollars for every dream that I ever had

I'd barely have enough to right the wrongs I did in the past

They say forgive and forget, look at it and laugh

We gave all that we had and got nothing

[Verse 3]

Working on my thousandth time telling you sorry

Walking around, pretending it ain't affect me, but nothing was further from the truth

Least I'm tryna recoup, just blame it on the youth

No matter what you feel or seen, I was in it, too

Probably more than you would ever believe

You gave me something I would never receive again

We probably won't be again, but would you expect it, though?

I'm just the nigga that I promised you I was when you swore that I was better

Was in it through the weather storm, just was better moving on

There was a time I thought that I would never think about you again

You was the best friend a nigga could have

I used to call you when I thought that I would die that day

And you would calm me down, and I would make my way

You probably should have stayed; it just wasn't your place

I thought about you today
