Can’t Ignore
[Intro: John Gabbana]
You ever try to run away from somethin'
But you can never get away from it?
It's like it's, it's always right behind you?
Or like, you try not to pay attention to somethin'
But it's, it's just hard for you not to focus on it?
Like you just can't ignore it?
Yeah, I feel like that all the time
[Chorus: John Gabbana]
If you ain't down to make a sacrifice, you gotta get gone
You gon' recognize the struggle when you live on your own
Family don't fuck with you so you feel left alone
Gotta hustle, stick 'em up just to keep on your phone
See, I've been down this road before
Sometimes my smiles be forced
I tried to delete memories
But that's something I can't ignore
[Verse 1: John Gabbana]
When n***as talk, they be so out of pocket
Bitches used to X-out me, now my bitches exotic
And I ain't never really had that many clothes in my closet
Now when I smile at a n***a, they just know that I'm ballin'
It's some things, you can't ignore it if you tried to
It was just a year ago, I was workin' in the drive-thru
Now n***as lookin' at me like I'm a prophet
How ironic, an unknown n***a iconic (Yeah yeah)
Counteract, you can't ignore the truth if you counteract
Don't wanna get too close, don't get your heart attached
You might just fuck around and have a heart attack (Yeah yeah)
Counteract, you can't ignore the truth if you counteract
Don't wanna get too close, don't get your heart attached
You might just fuck around and have a heart attack (Yeah yeah)
[Chorus: John Gabbana & Lil Donald]
If you ain't down to make a sacrifice, you gotta get gone
You gon' recognize the struggle when you live on your own
Family don't fuck with you so you feel left alone
Gotta hustle, stick 'em up just to keep on your phone
See, I've been down this road before (Uh)
Sometimes my smiles be forced (Look)
I tried to delete memories (Uh)
But that's something I can't ignore (Look, Lil Donald, look)
[Verse 2: Lil Donald]
When I needed you I call your phone and you wasn't pickin' up (Pussy)
All the clothes and shoes that I had, I had to stick 'em up (Get up)
Like stick 'em up, like give it up, I need everything (I need it all)
I'm married to these streets, I should've bought a wedding ring (Married)
I told my jeweler put some ice all in every chain (Ice)
Hey, why you doin' it like that? I never had a thing (I never had nothin')
Hey, where these n***as where when I was trappin' at the store? (Trappin')
Where were these bitches where when I was sleepin' on the floor? (Bitch, where was you?)
We cut the oven on, it's just to heat the whole house (Heat the house up)
I wasn't scared of the roaches but I ain't fuck with mouses (I don't fuck with them)
My partners stupid, they had me breakin' in peoples' houses (Fuckin' stupid)
God, know you took these women, I can do with 'em (I can do without them bitches)
I don't know why you took my mama, I can't live without her (I can't do without my mama)
I know this money don't heal pain, but I'm still countin' (Hundreds)
I need a blue strip (Hundreds), for every blue tip (Every blue tip)
They think I'm too crip (Think I'm too crip), ayy, bitch, I'm too stiff (Too stiff)
[Chorus: John Gabbana]
If you ain't down to make a sacrifice, you gotta get gone
You gon' recognize the struggle when you live on your own
Family don't fuck with you so you feel left alone
Gotta hustle, stick 'em up just to keep on your phone
See, I've been down this road before
Sometimes my smiles be forced
I tried to delete memories
But that's something I can't ignore
