[Intro: MIKE]
Ayy, ayy (Close to you)
Ayy, ayy, yeah (Close to you)
[Verse 1: MIKE]
It be peaks and declines, you know how life get
Grinding for your piece of the pie as long as time stretch
Do I keep or divide? I ain't decide yet
A diamond put a gleam in your eye, you gettin' blinded
Pretty deep in the plot, a lot to digest
The grabba be what keepin' me hot and prolly lighthead
My patna said don't speak on the opps, we rather digress
Or fightin' with them demons a lot
We stand besides 'em fried
Grieving 'em losses and that surprise death
Promise that I keep it alive, whatever Mom meant
Sorry if I'm bein' obnoxious or kind of complex
Not too much speaking to God, I be inside stressed
Ain't fly, kept my feet on the block and watch the flock left
Pride in completing the job, I gotta drop next
Time I spent fiending for props when it's the process
I don't be on the sides, I'm in the contest
Writin' what I seen, no facades, don't need a concept
I don't cheese for the bribe, I pree to nonsense
Took a while to believe in ya guy, they needed context
Spiraling, stink of demise, I had to find depth
With no means to decline, just a―check
[Verse 2: King Carter]
Uh, I ain't got no means to decline, not in my prime yet
These niggas want a piece of the pie, can't get a slice, kid
Know that momma be in the skies like the comet
Lil mama think she sweeter than pie, can't get a slice, kid
Yeah, I had tears in my eyes, I didn't cry since
These niggas know I'm bleeding for mine, dying for nonsense
Niggas wanna creep in the lime, you ain't blind yet?
Surprised that I'm speaking in times, niggas is dying
The dark where the reaper reside, I'm getting fried with
I'm not who you think would abide, Allah aligned with
I'm gone, when you sing, I'ma cry, you know how eye get
I'm not Phillipines, but I'm fly, you know how Eyedress
The crease really be on my mind, you know when I stress
My brother really needed his mom, a love was timeless
Life gotta be a lil slime, the things that I get
Runnin' thru the pain, it’s aight, ain't really cried yet
Really hard to sleep so I’m fried, alone when I wept
These bitches wanna be on the side, I wasn’t hiding them
They know I can’t sleep unless I’m high, I’m tryna die lit
They know when I peep they ain’t sly, they can’t hide shit
Riding with the team til' I die, I got my mind set
Looking at the gleam in the sky, I ain’t blind yet
Niggas want a piece of the pie, can’t get a slice, kid
[Outro: King Carter]
Uhhh
“I ain’t got no means to decline,” what MIKE said
Mm
Mm
I ain’t got no means to decline
Uh
Aight, aight
