recognizing my efforts are spotty and you were the same. we used to speak to each other but now that's barely a thing. u said u love from a distance because I'm bringing u pain. I said I love you from an area that's small In its range. all she wanted was a nigga who was willing to change. I thought about it for a second since it wasnt your place. can't believe we going thru it, why we do this again? if you ever been in love then i shouldn't explain one minute we're fucking with no discussion fulfilling our daily budget that make us stomach. pushing each others sensitive buttons. strings on puppet , we tug it. far too familiar, running. rummage thru photos and text my clothes carries your stench my bed cold as it gets without your head on my chest them nights, covered in sweat. where none of us is content. we knew this finally it. you take from me, unthankfully until theres nothing to give. and so the ending begins. two halves, desperate attempt at reconciling shit. the house cluttered with kids. the fence, garden and bridge. the lifestyle we dreamt. been burning into a crisp. like how the fuck did it went from love letter we send to always arguing as if can't be bothered to mend it's like a fracture on a rib is just a wonderful gift. my relationship with love be unbalanced with guilt. scars on my heart worn, ready bracing the split. shit I've been single for a bit and I can't figure what this is traces of us hasn't lived disillusioned or convinced is it love if I commit is it love if she permits what's the verdict, I've condensed every flag and every hint to unordinary bonds where nobody moving on grip was weakened by the wrong pair of lovers unaware that they were beyond repair friendly fire took it there put two fingers in the air. recognizing my efforts are spotty and you were the same. we used to speak to each other but now that's barely a thing. u said u love from a distance because I'm bringing u pain.

I wanna drive thru the breeze I'm tryna find me some peace nothing coming with ease. I ain't go to college to be honest that ain't in my optics I wanted to profit without having to fill any wallets can't nobody stop us we propelling like them fuckin choppers. ima do it proper. because I know ima only prosper. fuck bout what you think of me I don't need no damn degree if you failing , you'll succeed nothing ever far to reach. struggles that we juggle be really easy when you breathe everything is everything and we about to spread our wings. and at the highest of the highs. I was the lowest no surprise. these niggaz love to tell you lies I rather truthfully decline. and even though isn't whole it's a hole way deeper I suppose. count my woes bumps and bruises up the noise. take it slow. take it slow.

back in the east, days when nobody was fucking with me. losing some people I thought never leave. too many niggaz aspire to be. leaders but neither responsible, sheesh. all my attention been focused on me. I gotta get better. maturity measured connecting antennas right over the sea back in the back in the back in the east, back when my teacher was Abdul Latif I was still cutting, just look at my sleeves. told you my nigga, i am where I be. value my work cause it coming from hurt. who gonna put a price on what Im worth. moment I stop I'll be laid in a hearse. bouncing balls dribble on letters I word. niggaz and bitches got nothing but interest depicting editions of snakes in attendance. I'm dipping my toes before walking on liquid. I meant it, correcting my own masochism. no longer the victim, I broke out the prison I hear you my nigga but who gonna listen? they claiming I'm tripping, I guess be bitching. and silence is stronger than yelling & hitting. my own intuition go off like a pistol detaching whoever the man in the middle It's fuck everybody and that is official. the biggest is often thenigga with little cause I was just hating myself (self) wasn't accepting no help. (help) loneliest I ever felt. (felt) exit the stage to the left. (LOW) chours: and if you talking bout friends then I can not count on them I'm a young sad nigga and I ain't gonna pretend. I'm a young sad nigga and want it all to end. and if your talking bout life, then you better get it right I'm a young silly nigga happiness never applied I'm a young silly nigga and i really wanna die. verse two: yea I'm a hoe and I know I'm a freak. what other things are they saying bout me. some of these niggaz be thinkin they deep. only the surface, their ankles will freeze. sizzle, we popping, like hamburger grease closest to me cheering on my defeat. closest to them, got more sympathy, sweet. trusting my homies gets hard by the week. hustle, my muscles not privy to comfort rock hoodies in summer so cuts undiscovered. the gutters I utter are unlike no other that's true for my sister and three of my brothers. maybe I'm timid or maybe I'm different. i muster the courage to change how I'm living I get it, you got it. these people be toxic I'm part of the problem and rarely unconscious. outro: back in the east (woah woah) back in the east (no no) back in the east (yo yo) back in the east (go go) back in the east (yea yea) back in the east (oh oh) back in the east (aye aye) back in the WOAH

wake up Sunday morning but it's not to go to service I can't tell you what determines why I'm overly concerned with getting rich and dying early, right before I get to thirty. Houston, London and Missouri New York dontchu ever worry. put your family first. then go do your work. I ain't fuck with church less it's chicken getting served. stealing mama purse I don't know what's worse. vanity emerge or staying stagnant on the curb. I ain't ever had alot but I'm bout to have alot. shrimp and salmon, caviar homies wanted Saint Laurent all I need is Basquait. for my seeds carry on living like a fucking boss nigga ima do it hard. no more sleeping in garage for my niggaz in the box commissary, dropping wads. so you never have to starve. been there since the fucking start. for my niggaz, for my dogs whether sufi or a cross them my niggaz so we ball. man I'm fucking tryna lift off, lift off and these niggaz getting pissed off, pissed off. coming to me with that big talk, that big talk. bag it up, I got the Ziploc, the Ziploc. is you riding, is you not. ultimatum, on the block. got my army and my squad. all are hungry, chasing guap. free my niggaz Tracey, got 25 to 50, fought niggaz with their blicky, on what the fuck is going on and he strong, son growing but his father isn't home he be begging for forgiveness for his sins he been attoned when you enter battle zones, death is chilling at the door. baking soda on the stove whip it, flick it, for your nose. choices we be making get you sent on a vacation where the guards will test your patience. well aware it's pretty blatant. walking with them detonators anything can set us off. better watch who you call soft. aint a game, no Ubisoft. used to running, didn't crawl. city where we love to brawl. break the bank until i bought opportunities and jobs. for my niggaz, for my dogs. we the kingdom living large. and we gonna put a mark for our shooters who were chalked

don't waste my time. don't waste your credit. let it, set in. twice. came to the conclusion, that you niggaz like. me on the menu friendship, you pay the price. satisfy your appetite get it right. love don't mean shit unless you can provide gave you all of me and yall ain't spare a dime on a other type of time. double crossing, it's a crime. always on the grind, hardly getting by. beneficial to these niggaz way of life. but this is where we drawing lines. name another nigga that done balanced criticism on his negative opinions while upholding their appendage bleeding frequently, I did it. since your swords are pretty rigid and y'all stab me like some bitches. fuck whatever, it's cemented. and hope you really meant it. don't you ever try to visit. slither underneath the rug when I welcomed yall with hugs. so it's crickets when y'all done feeding off a feeble plug sure enough, nobody been showing up. feel like I'm a foreigner. roaming all them corridors haunted mansion rats are rampant who revamping am i just an sadist lacking some compassion granny told me prayer good, I've been getting higher too. devil lettuce laced with woods cabin fever ain't approved. 22, I was devastated, locked behind my room. got consumed, spit and chewed fuck, am I supposed to do in a castle that's littered with golden apples the only 1 they was after is Adam's my nigga. that shit really bothers a nigga damn.

know it's messy where I am at, but I cant sweep the broom. I know I'm fucking up and it's considered pitiful. I know my morals give a wrong impression which is true. I know we haven't interacted yet respect ensued. sorry I misunderstood lately I've been overused. on a rainy avenue I tried to piece it using glue. however shit aint feasible. I needed room for growth fetishizing being choked. shouldn't joke but it's funny, when I wrote. why I couldn't stay afloat. I'm alone, couple hundred in my phone. careful who you calling bro bigger scope, my ambitious tetter north. and of course, I've absorbed so much shit whenever home. as I close, circles tighten round my throat. can't control how nigga be reacting to his own. reflection as it goes, transparent, naked I can't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore I can't take it verse two: I know why you abandon me in search for grander goose. I know what to expect and I ain't make the fucking rules I know you somewhere far away and this won't get to you. I know I'm somewhat problematic so what else is new? miscommunication, was my language once together, now we're strangers. and it angers me inside, more specifically besides. where I tend to bottle dive, my emotions till they spike then I fight people who were only kind intertwined with my mind angel numbers ain't reprise. pandemonium, ain't nowhere near Babylonian. exodus, one man versus all them warriors. California, sun rays blinded my cornea, when im going up, can't carry anchors. I throw the dub. down my luck but I just hit a uzi and shoulder shrug. more than once, question was
