Safe

[Chorus]
Still riding through my city with the top down
Focused tryna make it til tomorrow
All this shooting in my city need to stop now
Hope them bullets never hit me on the long road
You know I been tryna balance out these problems
But every time I do they seem to wobble
I see the devil working hard just to make me fall
I pray the lord keep me safe and out of trouble

[Verse 1]
Niggas talking reckless they gon' make me do regretful thangs
But I been tryna move on to some better thangs
17 with the issues of a married man
I just dropped a chick cause I knew she won’t be the same
Now I'm running from my past tryna make it out
Working tryna get my name up at a higher stage
Mama tripping but I told her we'll be living good
Pops be worried but I’m told him we gon be okay
Ain't nothing to worry bout my nigga
You still the shade of black, they still holding us back
Let them folks keep doubting my nigga
They just doin' you dirt, they don't know what you worth
I tell the truth in these songs to hit ya soul with these words
I say it right to they face
They hear some pain in my verse
And if they try to get knuck buck I'm reserving they hearse
Man I put that on my soul I got the work that they want
Man I been tryna get my cash up, cash up
Stuff they saying it don't add up, they actors
All these feelings I've been feeling really getting old
But I still feel for the parents who kids ain't make it home
And I still toss and I turn cause I ain’t touched a million
So many visions depicted about the life I’m living
Still being painted a villain by all these different women
Sorry you can't hold me I’m way too driven, I'm on a mission
I just hope you still believe in me, believe in me yeah
I'll still be here when you needing me, you needing me yeah
And this is all I wanted in this life of mine
To be shielded away from living a life of crime
To be humble through everything with a peace of mind
To take my family somewhere warm in the wintertime

[Chorus]
Still riding through my city with the top down
Focused tryna make it til tomorrow
All this shooting in my city need to stop now
Hope them bullets never hit me on the long road
You know I been tryna balance out these problems
But every time I do they seem to wobble
I see the devil working hard just to make me fall
I pray the lord keep me safe and out of trouble

[Bridge]
Going through the same thangs
Rolling with the same gang oh yeah
And you know I'ma strive for it, anytime I‘d die for it
I’ll lay down my life for it
Going through the same thangs
Rolling with the same gang oh yeah
You see me in these streets baby
Getting what I need baby
Making sure we eating baby

[Verse 2]
And if I ain't eatin' baby I can't sleep
I won it and lost it all in the same week
Drugs corrupting my youth, cops been locking us down
Silencing out all our sounds, so that we can't speak
And if they pass me the blunt then I might hit it
You should never play in this game if you ain't willing to
Set ya pride to the side, flew a long way from home
And now I'm one with the sky
Started growing my wings I never knew I would fly
Niggas bashing our women I never understood why
Why we live in a system that never want us to shine?
Why I look at my brothers and pray to God they don't die?
Do I gotta ride dirty with 30s under my seats?
Do I gotta drink whiskey to mute the screams in these streets?
Do I need to stop workin or follow through with these dreams?
All these questions and answers still coming up incomplete
Man if I want it then I got it, and thats my word homie
Another hit gon' make us rich and that's my word homie
You better stay inside yo lane don't hit no curbs homie
You better listen to ya heart and not these herbs homie
I'm from a section of the world where they be breeding monsters You gotta get it how you live and Ima get it proper
Don't ever question how how you living if you seen me prosper
Ima prosper til my body laying in a coffin I know
Yeah yeah, yeah I know yeah
Yeah I know everything ain't for me
But if I try I gotta succeed
I know it ain't a height that I can't stretch my arms out to reach
I know the difference between friends and people here for the clout
I know they listening to my songs and wonder who it's about
But I'm just saying what I feel nigga
And if you catch me on the block just know I'm still whipping

[Chorus]
Still riding through my city with the top down focused tryna make it til tomorrow
All this shooting in my city need to stop now hope them bullets never hit me on the long road you know
I been tryna balance out these problems
But every time I do they seem to wobble
I See the devil working hard just to make me fall
I Pray the lord keep me safe and out of trouble

[Bridge]
Going through the same thangs
Rolling with the same gang oh yeah
And you know I'ma strive for it
Anytime I ‘d die for it
I'll lay down my life for it
Going through the same thangs
Rolling with the same gang oh yeah
You see me in these streets baby
Getting what I need baby
Making sure we eating baby
