Ever since I left the city, you got a reputation for yourself now

You make me feel like I did you wrong

You got exactly what you asked for

Wonder if you're bendin' over backwards for someone else

Doing things I taught you, gettin' nasty for someone else

Right now, you're someone else

Yeah, you should just be yourself

Started wearin' less and goin' out more

Streets not safe but I never run away

Strength and guidance All that I'm wishing for my friends

Nobody makes it from my ends

I had to bust up the silence

You know you gotta stick by me Soon as you see the text, reply me

Higher powers taking a hold on me

Why you gotta fight with me at Cheesecake? You know I love to go there

Say I'm actin' lightskin, I can't take you nowhere

Don't make me give you back to the hood

You don't wanna fall in love, I know I'm not someone you should trust, I know

My past checkered like the Louis you just got

Lying to protect you, I be doing that a lot

My city love me like a college running back

Took you from the hood and I could never give you back

I just wanna let you know that someone love you back

Last night, I got high as your expectations

Last night, I came to a realization And I hope you can take it

You take my love for granted I just don't understand it

I'm too good to you

Years go by too fast I can't keep track

Don't play the victim when you're with me

Free time is costing me more than it seems

My friends always feel the need to tell me things Seems like they're just happier than us these days

Sacrificing things

I think I'd lie for you I think I'd die for you

How many more days could I wait?

I made plans with you And I won't let 'em fall through

I'm never on a waste ting, shawty

Them girls, they just wanna take my money They don't want me to give you nothing

You can't just diss and come tell man sorry

My old flex is my new flex now and we're workin' on it, yeah

My last girl would tear me apart But she'd never wanna split a ting with me

I think we just get closer when we not together

Cuts too deep for a band-aid solution

You toyin' with it like Happy Meal

I made a career off reminiscin'

Time got a funny way of tickin', things are so much different

You knew me when the kid had waves

You could never say I came up and forgot about your ass

Girl, I had your back when all you used to do was front

3 dots, you thinkin' of a reaction still

You a real ass woman and I like it, I don't wanna fight it

Tell me should I cut these other girls right out of my life?

I figure out you, you figure out me, we both a different breed

I'm followin' your lead, I ask you what you need, you say, "A guarantee

I need you inspired, I need you excited

Keep you in the front, never in the back and never on the side

Me? I'm movin' quiet, all the things we're tryin', let's just keep it private

There's more to life than sleeping in and getting high with you

I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do

And that just didn't sit right with you

Now you're talking down on my name, on purpose

And you don't feel no way, you think I deserve it

I've stopped listenin' to things you say 'Cause you don't mean it anyway

mama hit my phone and said rap's no good Better than her telling me the check's no good

Now they wanna act like I do no good Funny 'cause I really did more than I should

I made a decision last night that I would die for it Just to show the city what it takes to be alive for it

Can't get me on the line so they hang me out to dry for it

Life is always on, man, I never get a break from it Doesn't matter where I go, I can never get away from it

Keeping people fed is my only peace of mind now

I turn the six upside down, it's a nine now

If I ever lose I bet we never speak again

I got it right now so I'm everybody's friend If I ever lose I bet we never speak again

MJ in every way, I just don't fade away

Tried to kill me but they still want the Views

Tried to kill me but I am very much alive on the six side

Always saw you for what you could've been

I knew you before you made ends meet And now we're meeting our end

All of my "let's just be friends" are friends I don't have anymore

Guess I should've tried to keep my family closer

Cause I can't depend on you anymore

You're supposed to put your pride aside and ride for me

You judge me 'fore you met me, yeah, it figures

My luck is a sure thing 'cause I'm living right

When I needed you, you couldn't give me any advice But you always had something to say every other time

If I ever loved ya, I'll always love ya; that's how I was raised

Someone up there must just love testing my patience

Why do I want an independent woman to feel like she needs me?

I miss the feeling of you missing me

I gave your nickname to someone else

Not havin' closure, it take a lot out of me

This year for Christmas I just want apologies

Certain people need to tell me they're proud of me, that mean a lot to me

Tryna satisfy everybody, it's like they can't get enough Until enough is enough, and then it's too much

Who's gonna save me when I need savin'?

Redemption on your mind, I'll never be forgiven

Relationships slowin' me down, they slow down the vision

I wonder, when my shit drop, do they listen? Wonder if they're second guessin' their decisions

Since Take Care, I've been caretakin'

You don't worry 'bout fittin' in when you custom made

I never bend my morals for the ticket sales

Lately I just feel so out of character

The paranoia can start to turn into arrogance

I got a pure soul, I don't do the hate

I still got somethin' left to prove since you left me room

My exes made some of my favorite music I dated women from my favorite movies

Karma's such a thing of beauty

I keep it a hundred like I'm running a fever

I might take a breather but I won't ever leave you

If I was you, I wouldn't like me either

I'm a staple in the game, all my papers together

Thoughts too deep to go work 'em out with a therapist

Need y'all to know that I never needed none of y'all

You would think it's all mine the way I took it

You hate it when I coat things all in sugar You want to hear the real talk, well, girl, who wouldn't?

Get all your affairs in order I won't have affairs, I'm yours, girl

That pussy knows me better than I know myself

Have you coming all summer like a season pass

You talk like you bet it all on me And you can't take no Ls off me

Feel like I never say much but, man, there's a lot to know

Feel like the difference between us really startin' to show

I'm lookin at they first week numbers like, "What are those?" I mean, you boys not even coming close

You number one and I'm Eddie Murphy, we tradin' places

Look in the mirror, I'm closer than I really appear

I got a price on my head but there's a risk to collect it

Feel like they wanted me dead but couldn't pull it together

40 the only one that know how I deal with the pressure

Your best day is my worst day, I get green like Earth Day

You treat me like I'm born yesterday, you forgot my birthday

The only thing I did to end up here was put the work in And did it with a purpose

Used to have secret handshakes to confirm my friendships Nowadays, they just shakin' my hand to hide the tension

A lot of people just hit me up when my name is mentioned

The most successful rapper 35 and under

But shit ain't always how it seems when it's sewn together

Don't get hyped for the moment then start to backpedal

Don't let your newfound fame fool you Or cloud up your judgement to talk loosely, I really do this

But money can't buy happiness, Jellee talkin' truthful But I'm happiest when I can buy what I want

Mixing vodka and emotions, tapping into your emotions

Dry cry 'cause I'm hopeless

Different story when I leave you Story up just to keep you

I need you 'round, I need you

Busy as usual, but we should make some time

Dropped outta school now we dumb rich

Turn my birthday into a lifestyle

Got so many chains, they call me Chaining Tatum

And I like to finish what you think you started

I can't trust no fuckin' body They still out to get me 'cause they never got me

MVP, MVP, oh-nine all the way to sixteen

Trade you off the team while you in your sleep, yeah

Y'all showed me that nothing's guaranteed

I can not be got, and that's a given

Problems hit the gym, they all work out

I decide when I start work now, ayy

Lot of y'all ain't built for the league, yeah

My enemies wanna be friends with my other enemies

I don't let it get to me

I had to count it and count it again, to make sure the money was right

Look what I've done in my life

I cannot give you the recipe, you know the game is sold separately

I feed my family with this, so don't play with my money this summer, I'm serious

They gotta die out eventually

After this no one a threat to me

I don't take this shit for granted

They love to talk, me, I'm just dunning the hype

I do my own propaganda

I'ma have B's when I'm 70, they cannot fuck with the legacy

All you fightin' over crumbs, where the bread at?

I make people pay me for my time, yeah, I need that

Did it, did it, did it by myself, by myself, dog

Blew up and I'm in the city still, I'm still here, dog

I don't need no pill to speak my mind, I don't need that

Based on what I got, it's hard to think that He don't hear me

Got the key, now the door's open, and we all goin' through it

I thought that we were family You showed me that we can't be

I don't know no one that could tell me what to do

Heard you never claimed the hood Heard the hood claimed you

Most people with a deal couldn't make a greatest hits

OVO, we a gold mine

Same people from the old days, lotta sides on the same side

This ain't no met-along-the-way shit, we done really put some days in

And I said that we would make it
