Drained

[Intro]
Ay, yo. When niggas really eatin’ another nigga meal shouldn’t excite you, ho
Ho, and any other way that’ll motivate you to go get another meal you ho ass nigga
Niggas gotta worry ‘bout life, family, money, bitches, police, the system; ain’t no room for no ho ass nigga
PAISAI; Pray About It Stay About It, nigga. You dig?

[Verse 1]
They turnin’ the world into a cemetery
E’ery day it’s RIPs
That’s from our teens to our queens
The matriarchs and patriarchs tryin’a crack the scheme
This shit like a bad dream where everything is what it seem
I’m goin’ through a bunch of shit
I’m tryin’a learn a lesson from
Conflicts with religion made me
Question who my blessin’s from
Nevеr met my moms’ pop
Then he diеd from alcohol
That’s that shit that made me
Put that bottle down after all
It been my downfall I gotta stand up in it
Whole world goin’ crazy so I be blamed up in it
Seven people, one apartment
We was crammed up in it
Ain’t no friends in this shit
Gotta keep your fam uplifted
And I see my destiny shifted
Solely off a commitment
You can only live with regrets
If you regret that you livin’
I traded nickels and pennys
For blue hundreds with interest
Sometimes it’s hard to get to it
When that depression be hittin’
I pray you get out that bed
When you anxiety lift and
Be comfortable in your truth
Even when society isn’t, ‘cuz
They gon’ put on an act
But we all knowin’ it’s scripted
I seen some niggas duckin’ fades
And try to hide behind clippers
Seen some niggas who hate them
Try to hide behind scripture
Some of these bitches be loyal
Lot of these hoes be flippers
Had some give me their number
While they was out with they nigga
I see our ancestor’s message
But my reply’s won’t deliver
Before I settle for big
I’ma go manifest bigger
And it ain’t fair to my bitch
But she know my intentions
Thinkin’ I be textin’ other bitches
When I just be writin’ lyrics
We both ain’t where we wanna be
But she good for my spirit
Losin’ people left and right
So, you stay in that middle, nigga
I remember we was little niggas skirtin up on bikes
Some niggas had they issue wit’ us
But if they ever pressed it
It was an option, we could fight
And now a bunch of cops killin’ niggas
Using niggas killin’ niggas tryin’a make that shit alright
But I never heard of niggas killin niggas, just cuz they was niggas
That’s the biggest difference in this fight
See I got Crip homies, I got Blood homies, who got love for me
Got Blood homies who got drugs for me, couple hoes on me
Pay stubbs for me
Ask me bout my mental, how I’m doin’
‘Fore you tellin’ me how you want somethin’, need somethin’
They ain’t light about no threats
My kids need me, I’ll bleed something
Niggas with me stitch lipped
They ain’t never seen nothin’
Ain’t no conversation for no whack-assed crackers
I’m done explainin’ why my black ass matters
You dig?

[Chorus]
Some shit I can’t make up now e’ery day I wake up
I see somebody baby boy sentenced
Either to a prison or a victim
Either way we in the system
That don’t really give a fuck about niggas
And baby I’m drained
I seen too much pain
I won’t ever be the same
But baby I’m drained
We dyin’ over change
And we hopin’ that it change
But baby, I’m drained
I’m drained
I’m drained
Baby, I’m drained
I’m drained
I’m drained
