Continuing the theme from “I Ain’t Shit,” Sterling falls into a deep, self-loathing depression—all of the drugs, dark thoughts and insecurities from earlier in the album have mounted to this. Nothing is off-limits, even his failed suicide attempt.
Sterling also turns some light onto his fellow SAVE...
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I stayed away from home on purpose
I ain't perfect
I ain't perfect
I ain't runaway
I stayed away from home on purpose
I don't runaway
I ain't runaway
I'm a burden
I ain't shit
[Hook]
I'm a burden, I ain't shit
I'm a bad person, don't waste your time on me
I tell you right now I ain't worth it
I'm the furthest thing from perfect
[Verse 1]
Probably closest thing to hell
I ain't dead or in jail, but a nigga broke as hell
So I might as well
I was taken handouts too much, never really standout too much
Rapping just like all you niggas, but I fathered most y'all niggas
Bother most my bitches, just to see who really winning
Soon I'm going to make you sorry
Do you got some real fans? Hardly, Money can't keep the, no it ain't can't keep the devil off me
Is your homies your real homies? Hardly, when hard times hit man where was y'all
Y'all niggas never passed the ball, is this shit a game? Naw
Screamin gang gang gang, is y'all a gang? Naw, y'all spoiled pussies
I'm my only friend
I put that on my moms, I put that on my pops
On my sister, yeah
[Bridge]
I stayed away from home on purpose, I ain't perfect, I ain't run away
I stayed away from home on purpose, I ain't perfect, I ain't run away
[Hook]
I'm a burden, I ain't shit
I'm a bad person, don't waste your time on me
I tell you right now I ain't worth it
I'm the furthest thing from perfect
[Bridge]
I ain't shit, I'm a burden
I'm the furthest thing from perfect
I ain't run away
I'm a bad person
Don't waste your time on me I tell you right now I ain't worth it
Naw I ain't worth it, tell you right now I ain't worth
[Verse 2]
I once tried to kill myself
My girl tried to kill herself, I tried to tell her live and learn
She say the same back to me, "Sterls you don't ever learn
I only see you crash and burn
Burning bridges with your family, them the ones that care for you
Why you turn your back on them?
Give your pops the cold shoulder, wishin' that his life was over"
Everyday I'm getting closer, I can feel the heat from hell
Moms always prayin' for me, she like my firewall
Seen shit I wish I hadn't, done shit I wish I hadn't
Fell in love, I wish I hadn't
Fell for the black barbies
Weave and their boobies plastic, dreams to win a beauty pageant
One wish is all I'm asking: God bring my grandma back
When I find the nigga that killed Rod, cock the slamma' back
Hit him with that rat-tat-tat, middle fingers up to the girl tatted on my back
Callin' you thirty times at three AM to tell you that my pops was dyin'
First time you heard me cry, crazy you ain't even care
I gave you everything, I ain't have shit to share
Put a blunt up in the air, done playin' fair n' square
Tryna' make my momma proud, so play my music everywhere
I can feel the heat from hell, I can see the demon's stare
It's hell on earth, nigga, it's the devil everywhere
Xan' for a quick fix, I'mma hit your quick pay
To say I'm not addicted, is something that I can't say
Shrooms for the mind games, lean for the migraines
Pull up in a big body, just tryna' hog the lane
We can never be the same, I don't understand these lames
Beggin' Chance for a feature, like he hoggin' all the fame
