Blood On My Suede

[Intro: Jay Hollywood]
Look

[Verse 1: Jay Hollywood & Juel]
I been tryna work out all my issues with trust
I can't love these institutions that got no love for us
I had to let my pride come down, watch from sundown to dusk
I learned that selfishness is the line between love and the lust
See, I'm so driven by fear, you tried to give me advice
I took it in, but my ego just let it out the other ear
My city burning Trey's jersey like the King was leaving Cavaliers
They told me "Reach for the stars", I'm standing on the stratosphere
Another lost, I done trained myself to ignore
My psyche keep on telling me my life ain't that important
Caterpillar tryna blossom 'to a butterfly
Ain't no justice served when I see my
Ain't no justice for 'Von, ain't no justice for Bre'
And if I die tomorrow, probably ain't no justice for me
I tried to give 'em my work but they just cannot receive
But I'm not wasting no time, I will shake the dust off my feet, it's Holly (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2: Juel & Tom Kenna]
Yeah, I've been crossing my paths and erasing my demons
Fighting for my pride, yeah, I can feel that shit bleeding
Kicking it off the pavement, ten up, we defeated
Shooting points at the buzzer like thirty at the beater
Ain't no more pity for me, I'ma go 'til I'm forty
A fifty wasn't dependent on what type of time [?]
This my future, I'm fortunate, I'ma go get a fortune
Making millions off some record is my goal that [?]
Ten-thousand hours of [?], ponder us being free
I fought for my mistakes and then I'm jumping on my feet
We get it off the muscle, none of this shit is free
I can't be no one else, yeah, no one cannot be me
Disconnected from peers 'cause they can't see the vision
Did it all by myself, I'm on a lonely mission
This my time that I'm clenching, [?] get my message
[?] days become brighter [?] feel the reverend, yeah (Yeah, yo)

[Verse 3: Tom Kenna]
For the past week, every night I dreamed someone tried to kill me in sleep
When I wake up, it's all love, no bullshit on the team
We picked that up on the pavement, this for the heart, not the payment
When Jay sent me this beat, I'm like "Damn, this amazing
This better than anything I made in the past a hundred days"
Lay on my bed and said "Hey, if I get shot up today
Running straight, bumping J, who gon' carry all my weight?
Do people care or will I just be blood all on my suede?"
Business-minded but I got a different business on my mind
Thinking 'bout if I got time
More than I'm thinking that I'm using my time wisely
Off a few heinies, a few lines, try me
All my friends going up, when's my turn to get by off a couple rhymes?
Give me my shine, I could do this all day
Except, someone tried to kill me last night, why'd you try to kill me last night?
Someone tried to kill me last night, someone tried to-

[Outro]
Study
The mentality is a really simple one
The confidence comes from preparation
You know? So, when the game's on the line
I'm not asking myself to do something
That I haven't done thousands of times before
