HOPE THEY MEAN WELL...

[Chorus: Illmac]
I know people that treat their idols different
Showing they true colors like light in prisms
That’s why I ain’t tryna listen
Just chalk it up as misguided wisdom
I hope they mean well
Uh, I hope they mean well
Yeah, I hope they mean well
Advice that’s given from people that envy my position
Uh, yeah, I hope they mean well

[Verse: Illmac]
Skrill Walton in the Colosseum
Still balling, pill-popping in the art museum
High-class hooligan, wine glass to the brim
Ride wit’ my bitch, and her finе-ass bougie friends
Want a Phantom and a haunted mansion up on Hauntеd Hill
Flexing’s part of the job, no wonder why nobody build
Cold truth is I ain’t got no chill, highly skilled, watch the film
Name rings bells, no it’s not a drill
Picking at empty pockets, feels like a cotton field
Envy of others’ riches got him, green as a dollar bill
Remember down the block a Starter jacket got somebody killed
Homie walking home, Glock concealed under the Tommy Hil’
I mind my business, when I spit it remember how it feels
Tired of picking scabs off old wounds when I’m tryna heal
No L’s in the Oldsmobile, rolling like a molly pill
Pops had a lean on the crib before I ever popped a seal
Linked with Chase
He said he cooking, I said I need a plate
He said they sleeping, I said I see him then let this be the wake
Spit the gospel truth, gotta preach it, word to T.D. Jakes
Seen an orange moon over Reseda, R.I.P. PH (rest in peace)
So much to do before I leave this place
Spent so much time in my head should probably clean the place
It help me see the snakes, yeah your secret’s safe
Failures keep me humble, learning from ‘em, that’s what keeps me great
Uh, said she leaving, tried to plead my case
Said the world don’t revolve around me and she needed space
Age like wine wit’ a Trini queen to feed me grapes
Heart on my sleeve but underneath that’s where I keep an ace
Speaking of, gotta hustle like, Money Mitch
Plug lost a shipment and it hit him like a ton of bricks
No loose lips or sunken ships, he ain’t one to snitch
Judge threw the book at him, psht, that shit was unabridged
Seen patnas switching lanes splitting going different ways
Ain’t know my team and took a loss just to pick up game
Looked him in his window panes and seen the shit had changed
Kept it player, drip on me predict an inch of rain
Killer send a bag or catch a body that’s a quick exchange
Pistol Dam’ Lillard aim bang, long-distance drain
Uh, in the North they talking to the mayor
My city love me, if they hate then they a goofy square (fuck outta here)
Fronting like they out here making power moves
Waiting on my reign to end in hopes they flowers bloom
Did a ounce a shrooms in a crowded room
Talking to myself, how are you?
You look different from this altitude
Damn near had a mountain view, met her at the Fontainebleau
Out the blue, ended up waxing and talking ‘bout the moon
I set intentions, keep a watchful eye on my decisions
Planted seeds in the right conditions, now they’re ripe for picking

[Chorus: Illmac]
Uh, I know people that treat their idols different
Showing they true colors like light in prisms
That’s why I ain’t tryna listen
Just chalk it up as misguided wisdom
I hope they mean well
Uh, I hope they mean well
Yeah, I hope they mean well
Advice that’s given from people that envy my position
Uh, yeah, I hope they mean well
