Yeah, what's up, I'm a real niggas with the sound
2020 high side, you guys should really think, you know
I'm caught up in the grind, you see
It's crazy
Sometimes I don't know where I'm turning to
I look in the mirror
I see the truth, but the truth is
I don't know what to do now
I ain't told off
Look, truth is, yeah, I wish I was better
I was chasing the cheddar
I ain't take the time to write you a letter
I was too busy chasing the funds
I ain't take the time out to take a day in
Just be a son
Middle school, yeah, I got me a pack
God got me a sack
Gotta go on stage
So I pick up the slack
Lord knows that you need a new couch
And if I had it my way
Right now, I'd buy you a house
If you gon' stay here, be watching your mouth
And what I do
Turn around and hit the make balls all in your house
I was breaking the rules
I was posted on Papa Street
Pocket full of rocks and a tool
No secret, I was failing in school
Had to cry so much late nights
That you could fill up a pool
What's heaven when you're living in hell?
Dead hoping I fail
So they can lock me up and give me a sale
Sometimes I don't know where I'm turning to
What's up?
All my real niggas with the same
I look in the mirror
All my real niggas with the same
I see the truth
All my real niggas with the same
But the truth
I don't know what to do now
I'm a real nigga with the same
I ain't so lost
Get out of here
Way my hopes and my dreams on a scale
All I know is
All these hard times keep making you frill
And maybe I'm just chasing a dream
Or maybe caught in the hype
We got faith in, we gon' be alright
That mean we gon' make it tonight
We gon' live tomorrow, grind it up, no begging a bar
And lately you been all on my mind, spending all of my time
Tryin' not to go out of my mind
And lately I been havin' my strap
Cause I don't know which one these so-called niggas got my back
Just know that you raised you a king, I'm out here livin' my dreams
Despite the fact that it's hard as it seems
I know you see me rockin' them crowds, hope I'm makin' you proud
God play, urge and pray for your child
And even though I'm feedin' my team, man, I'm doin' my thing
Gotta say all hail to the queen
I don't know where I'm turnin' to
I look in the mirror, I see the truth about the truth
I don't know what to do now
I ain't so lost without you
And last, my mom
I don't think you know what you did
You had my brother when you were 18 years old
Three years later I came out
The odds were stacked against us
One of the best memories I had is when we moved into our first apartment
No bed, no furniture
And we just all sat in the living room and just hugged each other
Cause that's when we thought we made it
When there's something good out there, it's when you're happy
And when it happens to you
I don't know about you guys, but I tend to look back
To what brought me here
You made us believe
You kept us off the street
Put clothes on our backs, food on the table
You went to sleep hungry
You sacrificed for us
You the real MVP
I look in the mirror
I see the truth about the truth
I don't know why
What to do now, I'm so lost without you
