[Chorus/Hook: JJ]
Yeah... yeah
Tellin' me... tellin' me
You don't play no games
We cruising through these streetlights, streetlights
Forgetting the pain
Gaping reality, we in our zone tone, zone
Killin' it, fatality
I'm on my own

[Verse 1: Mayham]
There's way too much that I'm aiming for
Way too many fakers here
Too many things that I'm taken for
Ain't nobody too patient here
Respect pays if you pay respect
And how in the hell do I make a cheque
Take in the fact that I'm basically asking
For anybody that ain't making a cent
It's making no sense
Nobody's making it, hence
I'm taking this anger and making offense
And replacing the men that the racists commend
Conversation begins when I raise up this pen
Picking the words and then placing 'em in
Hoping to make it, not for the fame but
To never see your fuckin' faces again
Make a legacy of rap, but they tell me I'm flustering
You could never ketchup with the energy I'm mustering
Taking care of people cause that's really what to govern-meant
Now they tryna kick them out I guess we'll all be trumped again
[Chorus/Hook: JJ]
Yeah... yeah
Tellin' me... tellin' me
You don't play no games
We cruising through these streetlights, streetlights
Forgetting the pain
Gaping reality, we in our zone tone, zone
Killin' it, fatality
I'm on my own

[Verse 2: JJ]
Yeah...
They never wanted me to succeed
My own people wanted me to bleed
One day we was sippin' hennessey
And the next it went to jealousy
My best friend, now he be my enemy
I ain't gonna mention no names, no names
Cause I wasn't even surprised
I barely got blood in my vein
But you know what
With every down comes an up
Never give up
With every frown comes a smile
So I'm gripped before this energy
Presenting me, in a tunnel vision like
Eyes on the prize, mesmerize [?]
Low-key vibes
Colliding like the tide of oceans
Of emotions mixed with the potions that get you
Potent, I was broken, now I'm focused
On the dream, I just wanna be, I just wanna be
Someone who can live free, live free
Ambitiously to the part from all this negative debris
I'm sorry mom, sorry dad
If it's hard to understand me, I'm speaking from the heart
And this is just the start. I'm speaking from the start
And this is just the start
[Chorus/Hook]
Yeah... yeah
Tellin' me... tellin' me
You don't play no games
We cruising through these streetlights, streetlights
Forgetting the pain
Gaping reality, we in our zone tone, zone
Killin' it, fatality
I'm on my own
