Love and Hate

[Intro]
(AP)
He been fightin' his own battles
Uh, hey

[Chorus]
That love can turn to hate
Stab you in your back, at first, they smilin' in your face
Thoughts of givin' up, don't know his dreams a mile away
Havin' trouble sleepin', while they sleep, he's wide awake
Millions got these dreams, only a few got what it takes
He been fightin' his own battle
And if he step down, know he'll watch himself settle
Bein' 'round the ones he love, it make him feel better
Prosecutor paint him as a thug 'cause he tote metal

[Verse 1]
Tryna cover up my sleevеs, I got all of these scars
Bandage won't еven help, I got a hole in my heart
Can't be nobody but myself, don't let 'em change who you are
I remained the same, that's what got me this far
Fightin' them battles, I had my back against the wall
Locked up in the county, only a few people to call on
Feelin' vulnerable, couldn't get a pick up from my dog
Can't blame nobody but myself, nobody caught me when I fell hard, I was losin' it
Pacin' back and forth, my kindness, they was abusin' it
Made a lot of mistakes 'cause I ain't wait, I was just movin' quick

[Chorus]
That love can turn to hate
Stab you in your back, at first, they smilin' in your face
Thoughts of givin' up, don't know his dreams a mile away
Havin' trouble sleepin', while they sleep, he's wide awake
Millions got these dreams, only a few got what it takes
He been fightin' his own battle
And if he step down, know he'll watch himself settle
Bein' 'round the ones he love, it make him feel better
Prosecutor paint him as a thug 'cause he tote metal

[Verse 2]
They try to creep back in your life when the other side ain't green
For the kids dreamin' this life, it's not all what it seems
Different people playin' like they love you for they needs
Just my advice, in due time, you'll see
And we was hurtin' for so long
Made it through the storm, I still managed to stay strong
Tried to knock me down, I still managed to keep goin'
Now they see me blowin'
Dreamin' in that cell, they ain't wanna see me prevail
I know everybody I come across won't only wish me well
I was cuttin' all my problems off, now they wanna see me fail
Mama say I'ma be a star, well, only time will tell

[Chorus]
That love can turn to hate
Stab you in your back, at first, they smilin' in your face
Thoughts of givin' up, don't know his dreams a mile away
Havin' trouble sleepin', while they sleep, he's wide awake
Millions got these dreams, only a few got what it takes
He been fightin' his own battle
And if he step down, know he'll watch himself settle
Bein' 'round the ones he love, it make him feel better
Prosecutor paint him as a thug 'cause he tote metal
