I know shit was picture perfect But it didnĀ“t fit the time frame I took advantage of my talent when my time came Right now IĀ“m drivinĀ“ through this boulevard of shame IĀ“ll get back to you when I donĀ“t feel this pain Catch me swervinĀ“ in my lane Blew a couple MĀ“s on the new Bugatti, IĀ“m insane Fuck around with my head high like ??? Gotta keep a low profile Ā“cause everything I do get lit I got stoned with Rosetta, IĀ“m tryna teach her how I speak If you bringinĀ“ up my flaws, donĀ“t televise Ā“em to the streets I was sellinĀ“ box and CDĀ“s on my block so I could eat (Yeah)
I kept it a hunnid then I spent that on my piece (Yeah) Until IĀ“m six feet under, IĀ“ma do it for the streets (Yeah, uh) I done shit you may never do in your lifetime (Uh-huh) If she play her role, I may let her carry my lifeline (Oh) I know lifeĀ“s a bitch but I fell in love with a better one Bought her own BirkĀ“ now itĀ“s time for me to go get her one Yeah, donĀ“t put no blame on me Ā“cause I canĀ“t take no more Yeah, I put this weight on me when I walked out that door Yeah, and I canĀ“t help that IĀ“m so selfish, IĀ“m ashamed
And I canĀ“t help that I get caught up in my ways And I canĀ“t help that I be fuckinĀ“ on your bestie I move way too clean and get caught up in somethinĀ“ messy I know right you feel alone but itĀ“s okay Ā“cause you was better on your own
Pick you up when youĀ“re fallinĀ“ down Can you pick it up when IĀ“m callinĀ“ out to you To you, to you IĀ“m still puttinĀ“ you up when youĀ“re fallinĀ“ down Can you pick it up when IĀ“m callinĀ“ out to you To you, to you
We ainĀ“t never had no hope so we always took a risk Rock bottom hit hard but I took it like a pimp I took everything I had and put it on a wish
Took all the time you wasted and put it on my wrist Gotta hold my heart with gloves on If I spot a opp, I make Ā“em strip and put these slugs on Nigga this is pain, I ainĀ“t tryna make no love songs She feel in pain so she donĀ“t wanna hear no love song Feel like IĀ“ve got this weight on my shoulders and itĀ“s holdinĀ“ me down My hand all on my pistol, I might just air out the crowd Just sent a prayer to my lost ones, I hope that they proud You ainĀ“t give up on me then, why you gonĀ“ give up on me now? Top dawg, IĀ“ve got VVĀ“s on my leash
Get you knocked off, bitch donĀ“t ever disrespect inside these streets ItĀ“s a cold world but let me show how my heart beat To understand this lane you gotta sit inside this car seat (Oh) IĀ“m still tryna figure out what changed you Niggas mad Ā“cause I let my dick hang longer than my chains do Step inside my world to fully comprehend what pain do You accepted all my flaws just to show the world they painful (No, oh)
Pick you up when youĀ“re fallinĀ“ down Can you pick it up when IĀ“m callinĀ“ out to you To you, to you IĀ“m still puttinĀ“ you up when youĀ“re fallinĀ“ down
Can you pick it up when IĀ“m callinĀ“ out to you To you, to you
High off my pride like a Perc But I canĀ“t swallow it, nigga I stood out the way but paved it for a lot of you niggas Put the spotlight on my children Ā“cause IĀ“m proud of you niggas Might just let you on a track so I could body you niggas ItĀ“s too much levels I could stoop to My dawg got laced now he donĀ“t move the way he used to I wanna hug Ā“em and tell Ā“em I love Ā“em but IĀ“m ashamed Show the hand of the fate, my brother might not be the same (It might not be the same)
And this for all the niggas who supported me This for all the engineers I paid when they recorded me This for all the labels who looked down and close their door on me I went platinum in the trenches when these niggas had no loyalty A year later, he only gettinĀ“ started She listen to all my song but still ask me why IĀ“m heartless Tried to stab me in my back but I still had your shit regardless On this intro I reflected on my pain and went retarded
