Take a Leaf

[Intro]
You know when the others stacked against you
Everybody expects you to lose
You just try to do the opposite mate
You know
Life
Free (?)
Million times
Banks

[Verse 1]
We just tryna win when we was born to lose
When shit hit the fan you won’t know what to do
All us got the shoes, never have to choose
I used to look for copper only saw the moon
If being antisocial made you think I’m rude
Maybe I should say excuse me before I leave a room
I’d rather keep you moving, I’ve got Ps to scoop
Banks, showtime like I’m Beetlejuice
I’m alone but far from lonely
Just (?) on myself, how you think you know me
I just keep I lowkey, but you listen closely
Only made me stronger if it never broke me
When my role models sold drugs, I’ve killed bodies
I just sold drugs, I never killed bodies
I ain’t got no guns but I got biscotti
And I’m always in the mix like a Disk Jockey

[Verse 2]
I made it happen when it weren’t happening
I faint too much and feel too little like I’m Charlie Chaplin
I do audition for a film but I’m shit at acting
If you don’t hussle forest then you shuffle backwards
No rest for the wicked could only mean I am tired
But I’m still confident that God see me tryin’
If I’m lying then I’m dying
Grinding till I’m shining
Be careful when I shine, my lights blinding
I play my position, hope you playin’ yours
Life a game of chess and I don’t play no pawn
King without a queen but I got hella (?)
I make sure you give me brain until it hurts their jaw
If I ain’t breaking backs I’m prolly breaking laws
Wherever is pussy always packs I treat you like a sport
Rest in peace my brother John, you always in my thoughts
You know it’s die hard for life and fuck what they thought
I don’t promote violence, but my bro’s violent
If I ain’t dropping jams then I be staying silent
They tell you that I’m quiet that’s just the way I like it
Always be my own boss, I never be no sidekick
Have to go and get it, no one put me on
And life got me stressing it was looking long
Everyday I got a DM saying where you going
But truthfully I’m just tryna find my way cuz I know I was lost
Different bitch for every day of the week
Everywhere I go these hoes follow my feet
My white girl sell her pussy but I fuck it for free
And she got a their family call me one for the team, I mean
Most these rappers craping they just selling you dreams
I ain’t tryna sugar coat it, I’m just giving you me, I mean
Hear my boss’ gun on a beat
But in real life he probably just as normal as me, as Banks

[Verse 3]
These rich kids can never feel my pain
Hands down the back of the sofa you never dark for change
My new thing won’t let me fuck until she picks my brain
Got me sat around answering her questions just to get some brain
Old thing told me I should love her or just leave her alone
Now she wonder why I leave her alone, shit
Glass house then you shouldn’t throw stones
But you gon throw them anyway
So please mind how you go you know
Sometimes I take a little space so I can breath a bit
If you didn’t practice what you preaching, don’t be preaching it
Don’t make your bed and start complaining when you sleep in it
The top seems so far away while you reaching it
Might be a couple of things I want but I don’t need for shit
Hard times normally would show you who your people is
I’m just tryna make good from all this evilness
I done left my book opened, take a leaf of it
