Yeah,
yeah.
You know I talk ratchet,
you know what I'm saying?
I gotta hear the storytell.
Sometime I gotta say it right.
I showed them I was serious,
dropped out my brother's business.
Whole city in under two weeks.
A nigga had the vision.
Just done three and a half up in that system.
Been out three months and they flipped me by the sixth month.
Back in that penitentiary,
I'm trippin',
but I know where I went wrong.
Happy cause I'm fresh home.
I was out there trying to catch up instead of catching on.
Like that * started a pattern.
Staying free was a challenge.
I'm finally winning the footsteps of my daddy.
I swear that I was laying in that cell on that mattress.
Saying I'd rather stay in here than go out and go backwards.
Fell to my knees,
looked to God,
and I asked him,
please remove this helmet from my head.
I'm tired of crashing.
I told him, fake red or fake dead.
* the fans and my fake friends.
Think small, stay small.
You think big and you gon' get big.
Bossed up on them, wrote my name in the clouds.
I got married to the streets and yelled at blockers I chowed.
This game will wear you down.
I can't have DJ Khaled now.
Damn, I want you to win.
Damn, I want you to ball.
I ain't trippin'.
Told them real niggas coming back in style.
Put a ring on that bitch and set my ball.
I promise to keep that G code and never work with laws.
And gave these niggas checks for talking down.
They'll be millionaires, dawg.
They'll shake the lot and kick the bucket just to make you fall.
Dropped my nuts in the casino bus and took * out of town.
Was laying in that cell on that mattress.
Saying I'd rather stay in here than go out and go backwards.
Fell to my knees,
looked to God,
and I asked him,
please remove this helmet from my head.
I'm tired of crashing.
Get on.
God, I'm tired of falling on my hands.
I was out here trying to chase that bread.
Wasn't worried about what no one said.
But now I'm back in this jail.
Sitting in the same old cell.
And now I'm thinking to myself.
Was laying in that cell on that mattress.
Saying I'd rather stay in here than go out and go backwards.
Fell to my knees,
looked to God,
and I asked him,
please remove this helmet from my head.
I'm tired of crashing.
Get on.
