[Intro]
Yeah
Yeah
Ayy

[Verse 1]
Shit, I'm doin' what it take
If you from the bottom, you don't get a fair shake
If the goal to eat, you can't complain what's on your plate
A house sound cool, but I need me an estate
When that pressure on, you might bend, but never break
When you ride around, it's one up top, this shit ain't safe, n***a
Own mans tryna slime you out, that shit so fake, n***a
Streets like a game of Pac-Man, just don't get ate, n***a
Yeah, only business transactions
N***as only real for they Instagram captions
Fake the new real, man, this shit so ass-backwards
I don't fuck around 'cause I don't practice bad habits, yeah
Still so much I wanna say
Listen to his album, that shit sound likе seven days
So much goin' on, get that monеy, stay out the way
Really ain't no pressure if it ain't about the pape'
I swear I try my best to stay out them people face
My girl be mad at me, we can't really go on dates
'Cause if we see them—, it's gon' go down broad day
[Chorus]
As soon as you done with 'em, yeah, that's when they need you
Knew I was the one, yeah, I knew it since preschool
It's so many fake friends, that shit be so see-through
If I call you brother, I'll treat you as equal
Was born in this cruel world, this shit be so evil
They claim that they love you, but don't really mean it, uh

[Verse 2]
I been tryna find a balance
Tryna stay true through the lies and all the chatter
I done seen so many childhood dreams get shattered
I'm focused on the war, I might lose a couple battles
Yeah, I'm focused on the war, I might lose a couple battles
I keep a couple straps like that guy on Family Matters
I'ma keep my head up even if I'm feelin' rattled
You can't lie, man, I'm always up to par
Tell my mama that I gotta make it far
I been through pain, you can tell from the scars
I can't lie, man, sometimes, I feel lost
I'm detained, I can't tell 'em what I saw
On this mic, I just spit it from the heart
I got diamonds and they shine in the dark
Was in a pond, now I'm swimmin' with the sharks

[Chorus]
As soon as you done with 'em, yeah, that's when they need you
Knew I was the one, yeah, I knew it since preschool
It's so many fake friends, that shit be so see-through
If I call you brother, I'll treat you as equal
Was born in this cruel world, this shit be so evil
They claim that they love you, but don't really mean it, uh
