Out for Myself

[Verse 1: IV Conerly]
I'm lookin' at my brothers and they lookin' at me
But when we say, "what you lookin' at," no, that's not what we mean
We mean "is there gon' be a problem in this encounter"
And the one that breaks eye contact first is a coward
One of us could lose our life this very hour
Have you scrubbin' your hands like a doc from the gunpowder
No evidence, new heat for the next time
Hopin' there won't be a next time
But if you sleepin', it's {rest time?}
Stay alert if you wanna be a rider
Move ahead, chest out, if you wanna be a survivor
Ain't no pity for the weak, unfortunately
Was taught by the pack of the wolf to dig into beef
Now I'm {pig hunting?}, now I'm OG
That's {?} gang talked to me, flawless pedigree
You don't understand but this is reality
I'm tryin' to live, don't get mad at me

[Hook]
And you talkin' about it when we bring them 'Ks out
You know that I'm out for mine, out for mine, yeah
If I catch you slippin', you never shoulda came out
That what be on the mind all the time, yeah

And you talkin' about it when we bring them 'Ks out
You know that I'm out for mine, out for mine, yeah
If I catch you slippin', you never shoulda came out
That what be on the mind all the time, yeah

[Verse 2: IV Conerly]
I got a family, I imagine you do, too
So let's both try to make it home before the night's through
Look, if I gotta look away first, then I'll be a sucker
If I don't gotta pull out mines, then I'll be a buster
I don't trust ya, prolly goes for us both, man
But I ain't givin' up on my brothers, I know there's hope, man
We got sons, {or?} homies that shouldn't live this
Educate the kids, teach 'em how to run the business
What is this? We could take dominion over the hood
And witness, break bread, engage new friendships
I know I sound soft, but somebody gotta try
I can't be the only one hatin' the fact we all die
When you try to make sense of this life, you can't
We've been lied to, and justice got us suicidal
I beseech you by the mercies of Christ to repent
And live like a tourist so you don't gotta sing this chorus

[Hook]
And you talkin' about it when we bring them 'Ks out
You know that I'm out for mine, out for mine, yeah
If I catch you slippin', you never shoulda came out
That what be on the mind all the time, yeah

And you talkin' about it when we bring them 'Ks out
You know that I'm out for mine, out for mine, yeah
If I catch you slippin', you never shoulda came out
That what be on the mind all the time, yeah
