Look me and Lil Sandra bagging
Cds in the bubble wrap
People recognize me from the TV
But I'm done with that
People don't wanna see me succeed
This shit come with that
Even when I come back
I don't know if it's me
That's gonna be coming back
Soon as I left
I had to make peace with that
Dropped out of school
'cause nobody was teaching that
The Best Western is
Where a nigga was sleeping at
Daemen College booking me
To pull up and speak the facts
Even if they make
A movie 'bout us
This shit'll be hard to re-enact
Dislocated shoulder
It's hard to be
Always reaching back
All these IOU's
It's hard for me
To be keeping track
Friends that dedicate
Tthey life to just keepin' me intact
Hard to pay 40
Pay Noel pay Niko back
All the nights I needed to vent
To someone and CJ sat
All the nights Chubbs
Was pulling up
Where I need him at
All the times Mark was making sure
That my luggage packed
At times he had to double back
I mean even with his salary
You can't put no prices on that
There is no salary cap
There is no payin' him back for real
I wonder what it could've been
If I had snakes in the mix
Actually I never wanna know
'cause we made it like this
Shots gotta fly either way
Now I make it or miss
Overtime I was all good
We take it in shifts
What would you do
If it wasn't this
That's a hard one
The finish line is
Where I like to pull up
And start from
Pain is just a place
That I go to get the bars from
Anxiety's a drug
That I use to get the job done
Delusional's a space
I like to think that I'm far from
My son is the one thing
I hate to be apart from
Bet against me don't know
Where they getting their odds from
I know that when it's done
I'm going wherever God's from
But I still don't know
Where I get the calm from
Yeah
Yeah
Look gotta hold my head high
With two dry eyes
I told you everything is fine
Dawg but I lied
I be tryna draw the line
But it's a fine line
And I'm drownin' out
The noise from the sideline
Sometime it's louder
Than the voice
I got in my mind
I can't even hear myself
When I get quiet time
Like how they tellin' me I'm done
When I'm in my prime
They've been tryna push
A narrative since '09
And they even had my ass
Convinced a couple times
But that ain't even the half
I had tougher times
Only look for sympathy
Inside my mother's eyes
And it's whatever with
Them niggas on the other side
We got problems we could
Never really put aside
I cracked the door for us all
Put my foot inside
I tried to kill
Them boys with kindness
But they wouldn't die
So now I kill 'em all for
Acting like they couldn't die
My hard work doesn't just pay off
It pays all the family debts off
I'm taking heads off
Future out here like Irving Azoff
Houses paid off label paid off
My soul for the money
Wasn't the trade-off
Unlike most of you boys
That fade off
I feel guilty taking some days off
Please don't google my net worth
The numbers are way off
I mean if you comparin' it to
What I really made off with
I'm more like Bernie
With all the earnings
That they came off
Trust me it was nothin' light holmes
They tried to give me
A slice of the pie
And I took the knife home
I know you love me
Can't picture bein' a hubby
Finger too stubby to fit a ring on
Unless Kawhi wanna run it back
Other than that
The strings'll be unattached
Certified Lover Boy
I'm not the one
For cuddling or none of that
Y'all music is watered down
Will you love 'em back
And you know what I'm on
Blowing past ya owning masters
Said you're like
A father figure to me
But now daddy's not around
So I'm a bastard
Oh of course the only villain
That show remorse
When I owe you more
Soft spot for all the ones
That came before
I can't ignore it
I'm always tryna rekindle
From the bottom
The to the top man
What's it like in the middle
From the lemon faced radio host
That love to be bitter
To my dogs in the game
Who wasn't pick of the litter
For the young Gs out here
Starting from the beginning
Nobody praying for you
When you winning
Don't forget it
Said it's hard when
It starts to fade away
Said it's hard when
It starts to fade away
Yeah
Said it's hard when
It starts to fade away
Hard when it starts to fade away
It's hard when the memories
Start to fade away
Said its hard when the memories
Start to fade away
So beautiful
