Blood, sweat, and tears is what I share Sleep is nice in my bed They only love you when you're shining I won't let it get to my head Got a little one on the way Now I gotta do this *** for my kid Having conversations with the sky And I meant everything that I said *** my family, gotta build a legacy I'ma be the man when I'm dead Work too hard, I can't slip up So I'm clutching tight on this layer No, I ain't a killer, but don't push me I'm too close to the edge Is what it is, ain't no looking back Don't regret the things that I did System got the hood *** up Killers crack fiends, some crushes Lil' nigga all he know is bang Only 16 on a mission Drug money out, that's seven fiends Only time he show his ambition Kid on the wake, mama B.O.'s late Gotta hustle hard, gotta get it Block him slow so he has to rob Just to make him smile on Christmas Call the cage judge, ain't trying to hear All the things that influence my decisions Hates to follow rules, elementary school All started off with suspicions If it weren't for rapping, what would I be? I just ain't die that I'm gifted Made it to the top and I stood up First, I had to crawl in them trenches We got heady nuts trying to murder someone Through the field, hopping fences They left bloodstains in our corner Gotta spin back with adventures Block this charge, it's a man down Real gang members, time to witness Blood, sweat, tears, what I share? Sleep is nice in my bed They only love you when you shining I won't let it get to my head Got a little one on the way Now I gotta do this *** for my kid Having conversations with the sky And I meant everything that I said *** my family, gotta build a legacy I'ma be the man when I'm dead Work too hard, I can't slip up So I'm clutching tight on this layer No, I ain't a killer, but don't push me I'm too close to the edge Is what it is, ain't no looking back Don't regret the things that I did We some young niggas, we don't give a *** Knock a nigga head right off Bunch of hollow shells on that crime scene It was DOA, white choke I know real killers, no remorse And I'm proud of the bodies they caught Went through a lot and I'm only 20 It's a lot of things that I saw *** left me cold on the inside Feeling like I need to unthaw Was it to feel a void or acceptance? Looking at the things that I bought I still get depressed in my mansion Contemplating deep in my thoughts I'm just glad that I'm still standing It's a lot of demons I fought Voices in my head and that gun Cock late night, rising all black Really come from nothing, I was on that block Like the streets, all that I got I done been snaked by my own kind So who really watching my back? Know they want me gone, one up top I'm a dead man if I lack Blood, sweat, and tears, what I share? Sleep is nice in my bed They only love you when you shining I won't let it get to my head Got a little one on the way Now I gotta do this *** for my care Having conversations with this guy And I meant everything that I said For my family, gotta build a legacy I'ma be the man when I'm there Work too hard, I can't slip up So I'm clutching tight on this layer No, I ain't a killer, but don't push me I'm too close to the edge Is what it is, ain't no looking back Don't regret the things that I did, ayy Don't regret the things that I did, ayy
