Could Be

[Intro]
Yeah, I done felt a lot of brokes up in my life, right?
From bein' broke
My dog died right in front of me, broke my soul
Broken spirits, broken hearts

[Verse 1]
Here's some shit you probably know
No one loves you when you broke
Only high that I get's from smoke
I don't put shit up in my nose
But I play too much with danger
Got a issue with my anger
My relatives are strangers
And this world just gon' keep changin'
Ain't seen my mom in 10 years
And Lord knows over time
How many times that thought done brought her to tears
Man, that ain't right
Listen, I'm still tryna figure me out
Figure me out
Tryna undеrstand what's my purpose in life
And what it's about
Becausе all I ever knew was beat the block
Re-up, then beat the block
Trip out when I see a cop
Pull in a random parkin' spot
Hop out when the doors unlock
A fella with a loaded Glock
Pray to God he go on 'bout his business
Or I know I'm gone

[Chorus]
It be your friends, it be your family
Be the ones closest to you, I could never understand it
The ones you love the most, that's who hurt you badly
You can't trust nobody, oh, you know this only facts, yeah, yeah-yeah
No, this life ain't nothin' like what you probably thought it would be
When we was kids growin' up all we had was some dreams
Feel like everybody usin' me, they callin' on me
When all I ever wanted was to get up out of the streets

[Verse 2]
Made it from the bottom
Ain't nobody gave a fuck about my problems
When you broke, you had no hope
You resort to pushin' dope and robbin'
Better stay in your lane
Find a good plug and build an outlet
I ain't burdened 'bout my outfit
Alert, ain't never slouchin'
I ain't been back home in days
Been on the road, just catchin' planes
What else can I say?
Better keep that S with the K
And God forbid I'm forced to let it spray
And send 'em away
Like, hell, he better hope
He gets a couple seconds to pray
Suitcase City, Tampa
That's where I spent my whole childhood
Had to get out of the struggle-to-survive
In Longhood
Everything I got I earned
This shit wasn't always good
Had to have a stronger mind
Said that's some shit I understood

[Chorus]
It be your friends, or it be your family
Be the ones closest to you, I could never understand it
The ones you love the most, that's who hurt you badly
You can't trust nobody, you know this facts, yeah
No, this life ain't nothin' like what you probably thought it would be
When we was kids growin' up all we had was some dreams
Feel like everybody usin' me, they callin' on me
When all I ever wanted was to get up out of the streets

[Outro]
I know these your homies, right?
But, look
You're only gonna go far as the crowd you keep
And, uh, look around you
Four out of five of these people probably got to go
You know, they most likely ain't as hungry as you
They're probably a distraction
They're probably your poison
If you want somethin' bad enough, you'll do what you gotta do
