[Intro]
Ayy, ayy
I swear to God, I do his for my kinfolk
Ayy, yo
I swear to God, I do his for my
Ayy, this for my
Ayy, this for my
Yo, yo
Swear to God
I swear to God, I do this for my
Ayy, woah, man, make a wish
Ayy, uh, ayy, make a wish, make a wish
[Verse 1]
I see the plotting, I'm a prophet, I suppose
Bend the block before the johnnies get ahold of me
This for Ray, I see you hurting on my shoulder free
Bro, you rode for me in times you knew my soul was weak
I see the roll, I gotta go
My people told me better finish what you chose
So I did cop a whip and move my niggas in the crib
This for niggas dying 'fore they get to live
Ayy, this for niggas dying 'fore they get to dream
What you mean? Victim of the streets before his teens
I done seen mommas really weeping for they seed
I would think, "Why they picked us off like we ain't kings?"
We don't mean shit to 'em
Thinking they don't really mean that, uh
All I know is when the sun hit my skin, it be beaming
Do this 'til my team win, do this 'til my chain big
This for all the niggas like me that's nameless
This for all my old hoes that I'm still cool with
This for all the niggas that I used to go to school with
Ducking out of class, can't believe I passed all 'em, uh, ayy
[Chorus]
Been tryna get my head right, stuck up in these headlights
Seem like ain't nobody real no more
Like, why they lying? Like, why they lying?
Seem like ain't nobody real
And you probably wouldn't feel me if my heart was on the table
Seem like ain't nobody real no more
Like, why they lying? Like, why they lying?
It seem like ain't nobody real no more
(Uh, on God, that's on God, uh)
(On God) Seem like ain't nobody real no more (That's on God)
[Verse 2]
And if you bleed like I bleed, why I gotta be humble?
Why I gotta bite my tongue while I'm watching you mumble?
Why I gotta ball my fist while you flapping your lips?
Like I ain't been through all the same shit you say you walked in
You say I'm drinking, I'm thinking though, I'm dreaming
I'm weeded, weaving through all of my thoughts, I hope that water ain't deep
But if it is, then I'm swimming, I'm drowning in all of that liquor
Had me blocking my feelings, I speak my truth, hope you feel it
And if you don't that's on you, uh
And if you don't that's on you, uh, uh
And if you don't that's on you, uh (Ayy)
It seem like ain't nobody real
It seem like ain't nobody
It seem like (My niggas with me)
It seem like (My niggas with me)
Ain't nobody real no more, uh (My niggas with me though)
Uh, ayy, uh
[Outro]
And if you bleed like I bleed (Oh God, oh God)
And if you bleed like I bleed, don't fall on your knees (Oh God)
I spent an hour, so I did, and so I did (Nigga)
And if you bleed like I bleed, don't fall on your knees (So I think about it)
