Bad Tendencies

Don't ever try to steer me wrong
I'm driving in my own lane
Bags packed I'm headed for home base
And imma keep it honest I hit a short distraction
I know my city watching me I gotta make it happen
I made enough mistakes I promise I'd do better
Sacrifice the time and put forth the effort
Motion picture vision got my lines remembered
My heart is like December I pray that it gets better
See cars are cool but you gon' need some lawyer fees
And making sure your momma never has to plead
And keep the score cuz these niggas will hack your feed
Screaming more cheese out of fucking greed
I may Jay shook his hand he smiled and nodded
I wonder if he pondered
That the hand engaged with him is coming for honors
Or coming to conquer
I said this to myself he saw it in my eyes but -

Don't focus on the wrong energy
Dishonest energies
Meaningless energies my biggest enemy
My pops used to sip the Hennessy
Bad Tendencies
When you lay a hand on me that dark energy, uh huh
Don't focus on the wrong energy
Dishonest energies
Meaningless energies my biggest enemy
My pops used to sip the Hennessy
Bad Tendencies
When you lay a hand on me that dark energy, uh huh

The city feeling like it was apartheid
The way police be crossing on the state lines
I seen it from my window it was all crime
But my father's at work I'm going outside
I used hang with niggas that would bully me back up in middle school
Survivors guilt but I figured that it was cool
Plus I could learn how to be heartless and be fearless like I thought they was
Death and caskets not the taxes I figured it must be drugs
So teach me love and show me love
See my home was perfect but I was deserted
Bored with picture painted life I yearned it
Rest in peace Paulo you did not deserve it
Rest in peace Lou you were the nicest gangster
A week before you passed you gave me your blessing
Cuz I was on tour very unsure
Your support was what I really lived for, uh huh

Don't focus on the wrong energy
Dishonest energies
Meaningless energies my biggest enemy
My pops used to sip the Hennessy
Bad Tendencies
When you lay a hand on me that dark energy, uh huh
Don't focus on the wrong energy
Dishonest energies
Meaningless energies my biggest enemy
