This Is Not a Robbery
[Verse 1]
Been tryna live clean, still got nothin' to show
And life’s been fuckin' me, I must've dropped the soap
I fight authority, teachers and all the moves you makin’
Take everything, I gotta drop it upon your fuckin' plate
I fight addiction, all my mom's suicide attempts
A bunch of people who don't listen that I don't write to vent
Dropped out of school, it's been a hustle and a fight
Since Mike got shot outside that bar tryna sling tickets
Tryin' to take control, I'm losin’ it lovely, though
And you can bring all your rein
I’m goin' insane, but you cannot break me, no
I’ma rip the game, and none of y'all can spit the same
And I don't claim the best, I only claim my city
[Pre-Chorus]
Vegas made me, tryna break me, and maybe
I am crazy, save me, please baby
Don't let me go, I’m slowly slippin' away lately
All I been through made me everything I'm not, and what
(Doesn't kill you is gonna try 'til they finished the job)
[Chorus]
Takin' back the night (Night)
I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)
I've given everything just to live my life
And you just sit back
So put your hands up
This is not a robbery
I'm takin' back what's mine
You can't stop me!
Takin' back the night (Night)
I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)
I've given everything just to live my life
And you just sit back
So put your hands up
This is not a robbery
I'm takin' back what's mine
You can't stop me!
[Verse 2]
I guess it's all just fun and games until the gloves come off
I spent my life the butt of yo jokes, the underdog
I battled my fuckin' reflection on the daily basis
I still got the scars to prove I'm not alright in a couple places
We're from drugs and fightin', lost on my own spite, then
Learned to use my past when I write raps, we bottled that lightnin'
Overthrow the system, rage against the machine
And you can take all that you want, 'cause they won't hand you dreams
I'm pushin' the limit and givin' it everything, I will not retreat
And all of the shit you talked, I'm returnin' it like I kept receipts
So simply, ain't no one should fuck with me
Like a bitch off of her pill and couple boxes of broke jimmies
[Pre-Chorus]
Vegas made me, didn't break me
I am crazy, save me, please baby
Don't let me go, I'm slowly slippin' away lately
All I been through may make everything I'm worth, and what
(Doesn't kill you is gonna try until you killed it first)
[Chorus]
Takin' back the night (Night)
I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)
I've given everything just to live my life
And you just sit back
So put your hands up
This is not a robbery
I'm takin' back what's mine
You can't stop me!
Takin' back the night (Night)
I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)
I've given everything just to live my life
And you just sit back
So put your hands up
This is not a robbery
I'm takin' back what's mine
You can't stop me! (Stop me)
[Bridge]
This is not a robbery
You can't stop me
This is not a robbery
You can't stop me
[Chorus]
Takin' back the night (Night)
I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)
I've given everything just to live my life
And you just sit back
So put your hands up
This is not a robbery
I'm takin' back what's mine
You can't stop me!
Takin' back the night (Night)
I'm puttin' up the fight (Fight)
I've given everything just to live my life
And you just sit back
So put your hands up
This is not a robbery
I'm takin' back what's mine
You can't stop me!
