Keys

I watch my auntie smoke crack in my face
My right hand down-town finding new case
I try to hold together but that shit be hard
I battle with myself - Do I believe in God?

When I'm down I rob ni**as I'm not good with fraud
My brother of them xans and he keep knobbing off
The plug keep moving funny we gon' knock him off
We supposed to be a teen they tryn'a block my bum

My daughter like just me that's my good luck
She's the reason I be safe when I'm gliked up
I know if I get caught they gon' send me up
And I know if I'm hungry they ain't gon' send me much

But I can't blame them for my own thoughts
It ain't [what] they thought, I got caught on my own
If you really want that check you gotta go grind on your own
They ain't your real friend if they're scared to tell [you] you're wrong (fuck them ni**as man)

Grandma told me I'm just worried about you
I never let you write, I know you left gon' do
And I'mma try to do my best in everything I do
You telling me these ni**as fake, shit, I already knew (I knew that)

(Ye)
I ain't stupid
And if I had a (??) I'm investing, I'm not foolish
I ain't never tryn'a fit in
If you can look you in the eye, don't let them get in

I met like 3 different ni**as who were supposed to be my paps'
Mama' 17 years old, grandma was all I got (I can't blame them)
I know I've disappointed grandma when I started rapping (the shit is crazy)
And I ain't never asked for Jordans, I knew we ain't got it (I knew it)

(Ye)
And that's just as real as it gets
Same ni**as you that ran with they ain't sending you shit
Same ni**as you scream gang with ain't sending you shit (don't expect it)
Same ni**as you spent a full with a turn for a bits (That's facts)

Them ni**as capping like they've been through it
Their mama had good jumps and all their friends knew it
In six grade my homie used to let me rock his leather
And I was trash and he was trash we were strapped together

And when 12 locked us up
We were strapped together
We were booming rack case just to communicate
My bitch left me, I was down bad with the super date
I kept my head up, 'cause I knew I would make a change

I knew I would make it rain
I don't need to call defend this by myself I had to stay
I put my bless wiping tears of this dirty game
And all this negativity - it ain't gon' get you paid

My daughter go crazy when she sees daddy's face
Me and my mama don't really talk like we supposed to do
And I don't think she can imagine what I'm going through
They've tried to tell me school and jobs [that's] what I'm supposed to do
Ain't no millionaires in my family, I think we overdo

My first baby-mama think I'm that same youngin'
I came home I grind for that and I ain't ask for nothing
And that's just as real as it gets
