[Intro]
(Mango)
Feelings involved
You don't know how to deal with no dogs
You don't know how to deal with no dogs, yeah
I'm going plat', nigga, on everything, this bitch right here a platinum hit
To me, shit

[Chorus]
How you bump my shit, but don't like me? I don't understand you
Yeah, I heard you said you don't want smoke, but still your mans do
Please know I really be with them shooters who'll come end you
They'll do what it takes to keep me safe, I don't demand to
Based on your past, nigga, yeen ain't never been in no conflict (Yeah)
Nothin' but OG's with me whenever I step, look who I come with (Yeah)
Used to be a straight-A student, but stayеd doin' dumb shit (Yeah)
I kept my head in church, but it's thеm demons who I hung with (Yeah)
Whatever on my chest, I'm gon' get through it, it's gon' get solved
Said they'll call me back, but 'til this day, I still wait on their calls
Fuck on these hoes, I had to tell 'em no feelings involved
Raised by cats, so you don't know how to deal with no dogs
Sometimes I get that my love fake and that it's counterfeit (Yeah)
But I know for that fact, if you were me, you couldn't handle this (Yeah)
Told them if they ever put me under, just keep my candles lit (Yeah)
To make it out the hood was just a myth, but I encountered it

[Verse 1]
I can tell when a bitch nigga in the room, I know their scent, I smell it
Thought I was gon' put a smile on their face, I ain't know it was gon' be jealous
If one of my dogs try to steal me, that mean that I was selfish
But I'd rather be with a thief than somebody who gon' end up tellin' (Grrlah)
Learned from the streets, so I can tell if somebody suspicious (Yeah)
Please understand I hung with sharks and we targetin' fishes
Please understand I chase that check, I don't run after— (Bitches)
Please understand, I'll— *Two gunshots*
I don't miss like I'm gifted (On gang)

[Chorus]
How you bump my shit, but don't like me? I don't understand you
Yeah, I heard you said you don't want smoke, but still your mans do
Please know I really be with them shooters who'll come end you
They'll do what it takes to keep me safe, I don't demand to
Based on your past, nigga, yeen ain't never been in no conflict (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Got so much shit up on my back like pigeons on my shoulder
Told you if you go where I'm from, they gon' step like some soldiers
I may look like I don't know a lot, but try to fuck me over
I keep a smile up on my face just to keep my composure
Never been ran by nobody, I been a grown man
Plottin' on robbin' me, nigga, don't take the wrong plan
Think I'm naked up in this bitch, I snuck that chrome in
Boostin' you up just to get killed, you got the wrong friends
I'll never tell a soul on all the shit that I had witnessed
All I knew was to hit a stain when it was time for Christmas
Grandma prescriptions in my head, but I just didn't get it
How you expect for an angel to come outta our city?
Don't know about Heaven, but I know for a fact Hell here (Uh)
A bitch ain't nowhere near my streets, but hella shells here (Uh, uh)
If you ain't 'bout it, don't come nervous 'cause they smell fear (Yeah)
Funny how millions on the way, but somehow jail near

[Chorus]
Whatever on my chest, I'm gon' get through it, it's gon' get solved
Said they'll call me back, but 'til this day, I still wait on their calls
Fuck on these hoes, I had to tell 'em no feelings involved
Raised by cats, so you don't know how to deal with no dogs
Sometimes I get that my love fake and that it's counterfeit
But I know for a fact that if you were me, you couldn't handle this (Yeah)
Told them if they ever put me under, just keep my candles lit (Yeah)
To make it out the hood was just a myth, but I encountered it, yeah
