[Verse1]
I'm on they heads like a fitted
Been gone for a minute I feel like a cynic
This whole game is full of gimmicks
Watch next year I guarantee they'll be some more mimics
F*** a critic I'm more concerned about these lyrics than an image
Ya had to replenish cuz ya dudes be looking thirsty
These chicks be posted thirst traps but hate when dudes be flirting
He beat you cuz he heard that you out here working circuits
Late nights in the club stripping but these n***** love tipping so you f****** with it
She said she's trynna find her purpose
I Told you define what worth is and what's worthless
You need to show em what ya worth is but it's kinda hard when you on the gram poppin perkies
You popping p**** just to buy a Burkin?
She said n**** don't judge me you ain't got no gavel
You never had to struggle you ain't live this battle
I'll probably tell you some things that'll make anybody rattled
I've been treated like chattel my peace is my shadow
My pops touched me when I was twelve
Soon as he grabbed me I tried to ask for help
He gagged my mouth so I couldn't yell
He said he'd kill me if I tried to tell and
Now he's in a cell facing fifteen cuz he raped another girl that was fifteen
I thought it was a sick dream
Until I woke up and saw my mama's tears
So many years been trynna keep that secret
That type of hurt will hurt the deepest
So I'm here every weekend trynna escape that night
So please don't judge my way of life
Cuz you don't know me n****
Some people saying that they love you but that's phoney n****
I'm feeling low but that don't mean that I am lonely n****
Time is money so please pay me what you owe me n****
[Hook]
Dreams fade and memories last
Sometimes I wish I could give all of these memories back
Just give these memories back
Dreams fade and memories last
Sometimes I wish I could give all of these memories back
Just give these memories back
[Verse2]
It's hard to see your future when you stuck in neutral
Leave your past in the rear view it's getting harder than usual
She tried to take some pills to kill the illings of her mind
She said she takes em all the time don't worry I'll be fine You should try em
That's what she'd always say
Until one day they found her comatose Foaming at the mouth that's when the doctor said she overdosed
That's why I hate when I hear music and I hear these rappers boast about this life How many youngins gotta die?
How many gotta pay the price before we change the message?
They listen to they favorite rappers more than they do they parents
So it's apparent we need to be careful what's we projected to the youth
Neglecting the truth I don't wanna see another Juice
I don't wanna hear another Peep
I don't wanna see another Mac I wish I could bring em back
