[Intro]
([?][0:00] on the beat) Ayy, look (Ayy, yo, Chang, turn that up, boy)
I been in the studio since 12 a.m., nigga, it's 9 a.m. right now
For real, nigga, this hard work and dedication, I swear to God, this shit gotta pay off
It ain't no way it ain't gon' pay off, I'm too hard for this shit, you feel me?
[Chorus]
When I come around, now they actin' funny
Not slimy, just different 'cause I got money
I be thinkin' 'bout my old time when they really loved me
When they'd talk shit about me, told me I wasn't nothin'
When them niggas caught me slippin' from my bad side
My shawty hugged me and she told me, "It's gon' be alright"
In the streets, you learn to keep all your feelings inside
But right now, I feel like it's way too much shit on my mind
[Verse 1]
I know it ain't no AC in this bitch, but I just gotta vent
May think I talk 'bout the same shit, look at that time I spent
Tryna encourage all them niggas to get up off their dick
Hell yeah, I'm finna talk about it, shit damn near made me sick
I ain't gon' lie, at the bottom, it had me thinkin' like this can't be it
I should've known them circumstances was gon' make me rich
I damn near lost it, seen a future where I didn't exist
Turnin' and tossin' on the floor, on top of that, gettin' bit
It ain't no shame in my game, I done got minimum pay
I even DoorDashed, dropped food off where the rich people stay
I'm only better than you 'cause of what I do for the day
If not, then tell me how we different, can't answer? Okay
Now bow your head down and pray with me
I put my trust in God, but you know this cutta gon' stay with me
Father, I wanna know when it's go time, will you be savin' me?
'Cause if not, I'ma take one of my kind, that's if they play with me
[Chorus]
When I come around, now they actin' funny
Not slimy, just different 'cause I got money
I be thinkin' 'bout my old time when they really loved me
When they'd talk shit about me, told me I wasn't nothin'
When them niggas caught me slippin' from my bad side
My shawty hugged me and she told me, "It's gon' be alright"
In the streets, you learn to keep all your feelings inside
But right now, I feel like it's way too much shit on my mind
[Verse 2]
I'm feelin' so decorated from all these smiling faces
You'n wanna see me win, you wanna trade places
When shit get hot like lava, tell me can you take it
That bond, you gotta let go to and prove can you break it
If it's best to isolate myself, then God, I don't need no friends (Oh)
Only thing I seen that can't fold was about a couple bands (Yeah)
Even though we fell out, I still hope you know where you stand
From way from me, come closer, I'll peel that top off your can
Now they all tryna help, but they can't benefit
But it's the thoughts that count, so I'ma give 'em it
Or bring them times up, when I needed it, they ain't give me shit
That's why me givin' back to my hood a possibility, oh
I'm tired from all them people I was haulin'
And scarred from my soldiers who had fallen
Now, shit be so different, be wantin' to show love, but I keep stallin'
If I didn't have it, they wouldn't be callin', that's why
[Chorus]
When I come around, now they actin' funny
Not slimy, just different 'cause I got money
I be thinkin' 'bout my old time when they really loved me
When they'd talk shit about me, told me I wasn't nothin'
When them niggas caught me slippin' from my bad side
My shawty hugged me and she told me, "It's gon' be alright"
In the streets, you learn to keep all your feelings inside
But right now, I feel like it's way too much shit on my mind
