[Intro]
You know
You know we slangin' iron forever for you, n***a
Yeah
This ain't gon' ever end behind you, n***a
And that's on 23, n***a, I bleed this shit, n***a
This shit for life, n***a
You heard me?
Real mud brother shit, this is for you, n***a

[Chorus]
N***a took my 23, now I want payback
So ain't no need to talk to me unless you gon' push a n***a face back
Three days straight, can't even eat, I'm tryna creep right where he stay at
Turn my phone on DND, fuck Insta beef, I swear I hate that
Bitch-ass opps be the police, quit at-ing me, no, I don't play that
How they just stole my dog from me? Shit got me weak and I can't face that
It's just some shit I couldn't believe, I heard the news and couldn't shake back
Feel like they took my soul from me, that was my twin, this shit go way back

[Verse 1]
That was my brother, n***a, what the fuck you think, I ain't gon' slide?
I'm tryna flush a n***a, you fuckin' with that side and you gon' die
I swear I wish I was right there, I would've cut back with my nine
How you just left me by myself? Looked to the Lord and asked him why
When I ain't have nobody else, my bro was right there on my side
I never knew how this shit felt, I'm poppin' Percs three at a time
I swear I'm hurt, I need some help, can't even stop myself from cryin'
It's hard to breathe, I'm losin' breath, right now I'm fucked up all inside
Half of me dead, I'm hurt to death, you see the blood inside my eyes
'Til all my opps put on a shelf, we ain't gon' stop slangin' that iron
I got this thirty like I'm Steph, I'm tryna put one in his mind
You gotta feel just how I felt, on 23, bitch, I'ma ride
[Chorus]
N***a took my 23, now I want payback
So ain't no need to talk to me unless you gon' push a n***a face back
Three days straight, can't even eat, I'm tryna creep right where he stay at
Turn my phone on DND, fuck Insta beef, I swear I hate that
Bitch-ass opps be the police, quit at-ing me, no, I don't play that
How they just stole my dog from me? Shit got me weak and I can't face that
It's just some shit I couldn't believe, I heard the news and couldn't shake back
Feel like they took my soul from me, that was my twin, this shit go way back

[Verse 2]
This shit go way back
I'm talkin' J. Cole, on 23, ain't used to say that
That's when we had the small fro on Ott Street where grandma stayed at
Broke together, sharin' clothes, ain't have a car, we used to take that
And we fucked the same hoes, would say they name, but I can't say that
It's only right I get my shake back
They killed my right hand, that was my mans, I can't replace that
So I just bought an F&N, tryna put this bitch where your face at
5.56s push his face back, like, n***a, take that, and that's payback
How you just leave me all alone? That shit done broke my fuckin' herat
I'm steady tryna call your phone, just wish that I could hear your voice
I feel the pain all in my bones, tryna be strong, but that shit hard
So watch I bust a n***a dome, I gotta do that for my boy

[Chorus]
N***a took my 23, now I want payback
So ain't no need to talk to me unless you gon' push a n***a face back
Three days straight, can't even eat, I'm tryna creep right where he stay at
Turn my phone on DND, fuck Insta beef, I swear I hate that
Bitch-ass opps be the police, quit at-ing me, no, I don't play that
How they just stole my dog from me? Shit got me weak and I can't face that
It's just some shit I couldn't believe, I heard the news and couldn't shake back
Feel like they took my soul from me, that was my twin, this shit go way back
