Tear It Down
[Verse]
Table top
Freestyles
Nun like the beats by hand
In the winter or the summer
I got heat that could land
In any area of danger
When you stepping out
January
February
March
And April
Let this be a staple
Any muhfucka wanna test my game
If you willing and able
Chest high
Always got cops knocking on my door
Asking
“Is you selling dope?”
Well
Yes and no
See
Yeah we selling dope
But no it isn't blow
I could see the similarities
Between the two
It’s uncanny
--
Holding on to hope
That my homies come home
But
If them boys pass
We gon pour out this liquor and keep it going
For that time is of the essence
And
I can’t dwell
Though you know I miss y’all still
It’s real
I got dreams of mils
And breaking bread
But damn
Who’s next
God please take em now
I can’t stress
So
If you got a problem w my crew
It’s on you
Go ahead
I ain’t mad
Imma pour out this liquor and it keep it going
Make shift beds
Was the way we held on
Pray to whoever is high and holy
To keep me flowing
In this river of blood
I ain’t tryna be a stick in the mud
I'm just looking for a sliver of love
Cuz' goddamn dude
Life ain’t worth it right now
If i’m being honest man i’m hurting right now
Years pass by
And my demons getting loud
Devil on my shoulder
And he proud
I been sinning so often
It’s like wow
Are you serious right now?
