Lyrics and translation
Original
Feel like they misunderstand me. Feel like we're misunderstood.
Know it might seem like we're anti, but we're just paranoid kids from the hood.
Tryna make peace with my family, from no guap to financially free.
Know you fall like the man when you're up, let's see how you handle defeat.
But there's no time for fanning your fear, let's go.
I don't wanna hold back on the love, but man take kindness for weakness though. But it's to each their own.
Whoever don't hear must feel.
I try reaching my goals, I'm ghosting whoever don't help us build.
Come a long way from days when we used to kick ball in the cage.
Snowball games on the block, but man move hot on the corner with apes.
Back when I was sporting a fade. Praying the waves come quickly.
How my dude rag on in the day, can't think there ain't no one link me.
Got the same ones with me, outside with my bredrin adjacent.
Weren't with me on the curb, they think they were friends, they're getting mistaken.
I ask God to protect me, but especially when I step on the pavement.
When it's said and it's done, will He open the gates or send me to -Satan? -I'm so gone.
Anywhere I look, temptation. But I can't see what I can't be.
When it's understood, foundation. To invest in a chance to be.
Feel like they misunderstand me. Feel like we're misunderstood.
Know it might seem like we're anti, but we're just paranoid kids from the hood.
Tryna make peace with my family, from no guap to financially free.
Know you fall like the man when you're up, let's see how you handle defeat.
Yo, don't ask why the beat is crying.
It might feel like the reaper's flying, or when Adam and Eve went silent.
You woke up to the keys and sirens, but that could never be me inside it.
You see, this mission is deep and I like it. Since 18, I was trying to fight it.
Like why me? Does it have to be like this? I can't sit still in a crisis.
Yeah, I can speak, but I'm really the shy kid.
I had a dream my mother was psychic. Gave me a key, the door was the right fit.
Can't act like I don't know what life is.
Mm, use your brain and imagine the scenes, G. It's okay if you panic immediately.
You know pain if you're happy to see me.
If you ain't, then you're probably doing a dance right now and this track's on repeat.
You might be just like me, how I bleed for a pat and you would think it was meaty.
Look, I don't give a shit if you think it's depressing, but clearly I did or I wouldn't have said it, and that's how I know who the beg is.
I know when you're begging it, bit of soul and you're selling it.
After it all, I don't wanna regret this shit. It's forget if you get this spit.
I'm so gone. Anywhere I look, temptation. But I can't see what I can't be.
When it's understood, foundation. To invest in a chance to be.
I'm so gone. Anywhere I look, temptation. But I can't see what I can't be.
When it's understood, foundation. To invest in a chance to be.
But I can't see what I can't be.
