[Intro]
(Khenaan, you so brazy)
(Hey, Track, you ran off with this one)
(Damn, Savion, aha)
(Yung Shad, you killed this track)

[Chorus: Slatt Zy]
Before the money, before the fame
There was a lot of thunder clouds, so much rain
Sleepin' on them pallets, this shit done changed
On cold Decembers when nobody knew my name
Now I'm gold status, streets turned me to a savage (See me)
Seen incarceration my whole life, how the fuck it ain't get near me?
But fuck the money, I'll take the fame
Forever broke and I'm addicted to the pain

[Verse 1: Slatt Zy]
So many memories hunt me in my sleep
God, I'm surprised I even close my eyes
My heart is so damaged and bruised
It's bleeding, seeking medical supply
My life is too damn hard
For death to come so easy
Either they lockin' me up behind bars
Or these streets gon' end up killing me
And for that reason, I stand alone, stay to myself
I don't need nobody in my center, don't need your help
I'm fightin' demons in my head, feel like it's hell in there
They crucify you when you [?], but they don't really care
[Chorus: Slatt Zy]
Before the money, before the fame
There was a lot of thunder clouds, so much rain
Sleepin' on them pallets, this shit done changed
On cold Decembers when nobody knew my name
Now I'm gold status, streets turned me to a savage (See me)
Seen incarceration my whole life, how the fuck it ain't get near me?
But fuck the money, I'll take the fame
Forever broke and I'm addicted to the pain

[Verse 2: YNW BSlime]
Imagine it's the same, with pain comes change
Nights turn to nightmares, sunny days turn to rain
Can't nobody save you from yourself when you drownin'
Good times just bad times, depending on some timing
Demons in my head, but all these blessings from the sky
Wanna be strong, but I feel weak, I don't know why
Tears not in my eyes, but inside, I just cry
Feel like everyone I love leaving my side
I know I could tell, 'cause they blinded by the riches
All they see is fame, money and the business
I walk through the stone, forever on my own
The world wasn't watching, 'cause the TV wasn't on

[Chorus: Slatt Zy]
Before the money, before the fame
There was a lot of thunder clouds, so much rain
Sleepin' on them pallets, this shit done changed
On cold Decembers when nobody knew my name
Now I'm gold status, streets turned me to a savage (See me)
Seen incarceration my whole life, how the fuck it ain't get near me?
But fuck the money, I'll take the fame
Forever broke and I'm addicted to the pain
[Outro: Slatt Zy]
Yeah-yeah
The pain yeah
