[Chorus: Marc E. Bassy & Skizzy Mars]
I fall to pieces, babe but
You'll never know
I follow all my demons, beyond control
Don’t give me all your reasons, you'll sell your soul
You know I’m sticking to my guts
That's all I know, yeah
[Verse 1: Skizzy Mars]
L-E-S, Why the stress?
Get it off your chest
Niggas think I’m lucky, I prefer I’m blessed
She thinking dinner, I’m just thinking sex
My life a mess, that’s your girl? Unimpressed
I'm busy putting on for my city and counting checks
Been to L.A. but when I’m back like I never left
In New York, man they treat me like I'm Derek Jeter
I know my soulmate's out there but I'll never meet her
They like, “Skizz, where you been?, you moving in silence”
Not really, I been grinding, just practicing timing
Get money, stay humble, it’s not rocket science
Need a girl with a fat ass, I could confide in
All my homies hood rich, I need a good bitch
Focus on what I have not what I could get
Stay focused and disregard all the bullshit
Stay focused, disregard all the bullshit
[Chorus: Marc E. Bassy & Skizzy Mars]
I fall to pieces, babe but
You'll never know
I follow all my demons, beyond control
Don’t give me all your reasons, you'll sell your soul
You know I’m sticking to my guts
That's all I know, yeah
[Verse 2: Marc E. Bassy]
When I get rich, I’ma still be the same motherfucker that I was when I wasn't nothing
If I lane switch, I'ma let her lane switch
I'ma stand up like a man, I ain’t saying nothing
All I ever had is my word and my honor
Only girl I love is my sister, my momma
Who is you to judge, when is you the honor
When she came back around, baby that’s the come up
Baby that’s the love that you give
That’s what you get now
Baby girl we using our heads to get ahead now
Baby girl she asked where I live, I said the penthouse
She don’t even got any friends
Live at a friend's house
Baby that’s the love that you give
That’s what you get now
Baby girl we using our heads to get ahead now
Baby girl she asked where I live, I said the penthouse
She don’t even got any friends
Live at a friend's house
[Chorus: Marc E. Bassy & Skizzy Mars]
I fall to pieces, babe but
You'll never know
I follow all my demons, beyond control
Don’t give me all your reasons, you'll sell your soul
You know I’m sticking to my guts
That's all I know, yeah
[Break]
[Chorus]
I fall to pieces, babe but
You'll never know
I follow all my demons, beyond control
Don’t give me all your reasons, you'll sell your soul
You know I’m sticking to my guts
That's all I know, yeah
