Lyrics and translation
Original
When you got too much on your mind that you can't sleep right.
Run up fifty million, somehow still duckin' the street life.
Set the hood on fire and they put cameras on our street life. Got a lean appetite, if I don't smoke, then I can't eat right.
I'm a father, rappin', hustlin' ass nigga, I live three lives.
I'm a young Black man, so to society I got three strikes.
I been tryna change my life up for real, but it don't seem right.
Heard the opps been poppin' out at clubs, give brodie them the green light. They get flipped. Magic City ass niggas, see 'em, they get stripped.
Actin' like they with it, no they ain't, I just don't get it.
I tried to put my foot in your shoes, but it just wouldn't fit.
When you got Jewish lawyers worth seven figures, the charge won't stick.
And anytime I feel uncomfortable, I'm up in my blick. Went to the White House, met the president for my niggas in the system.
It's kinda crazy that we beefin', I got love for your sister.
But I been somewhere countin' money up 'til my hand get a blister.
And I been thinkin' 'bout stealin' your heart, but I'm still iffy.
And we been fuckin' from the start, but now this shit feel different.
I know you tired of hearin' me talk, but bae, I need you to listen.
We started all this shit from nothin', look how I ran up them digits, yeah.
Plainclothes spitters. From elementary to middle school, I'm with the same niggas.
I'll never say nothin' sour about you 'cause I ain't bitter.
Okay, if he got a billion of dollars, I'm still realer. We call X pills Skittles and Percocets Percs.
This my last time tryin' this shit, I hope it work.
I did all that for you to turn sour, hope it was worth it.
If you pray together, you stay together, I took her ass to church.
And I done ran outta here and I was finna take your ass to work. And I call it how I see it, hope I don't come off as a jerk.
Me and my dawg made a lil' bet, for a hundred bands, he won't take a Perc.
Me and my dawgs got an understanding, for a hundred bands
I be scalin' through the trenches, tryna tell real from the fake.
Really had to master how to discipline so I wouldn't fall for the bait.
Young nigga slipped through the system, couldn't fall victim to the state.
We made sure the hood ate and still fell victim to the hate.
Had to find my confidence 'cause I'm that nigga, no debate. And I faced the consequence for always handin' out my plate.
I was workin' 'round the clock, I told my bitch, "I'm gon' be late.
" Real hustler, I lost seven figures, now I'm havin' eight, yeah. Now I feel like Jay, The Blueprint, now
I'm in LA in new whips.
Ridin' in the Lamb' with two sticks, takin' all my kids to Ruth Chris. Heard the block say they miss me. Gotta stay free, I keep distance.
Opps seen the laugh, who missin'? Swerve still a slide, who this?
I ain't never lack, cops know the slang, I don't know the vibe, who snitchin'?
Prior to the side when you went broke every single time, who fixed it? I was on point for the team.
Had to smoke joints, that's a dream. Had to mix Percs with the lean.
Still was the first at the scene. I was fucked up mentally, bae, I said some shit that hurt,
I ain't mean.
Hoes don't mean shit to me, I know the DMs, take a Perc before a ring. Woke up cryin' out my sleep, I had to pray off my demons.
Next day, I went to fuck up fifty K off that Nemes.
My OG say she don't like when I'm in the 'Rac, I don't either. But I still go back to make sure shit intact, I'm a leader.
Went to gladiator school, I'm a true, I'm a meter.
In attendance, had to beg for my repentance, I'm decent. If I gotta up my strap and let it clap, I don't need it.
Call my lawyer up with five hundred racks, I'ma beat it.
I can't speak about some shit, feel like it never happened.
Niggas really out here snitchin' and they still rappin'. I'm a natural born savage,
I ain't average. Never show my weakness, so I'm weepin' while in traffic.
Six mansions in, I come from sleepin' on a mattress. Me and don't respond to
Instagram, I let him have it
Swerve.
-Well -We on.
We on. They know we on. We on that. Let's get it.
What it's never been about. Damn
