[Verse]
I fear for my life like a president
I'm loyal to my brothers like a, like a blood
Texas niggas where I get my genius from
Mama got some half brothers
And they from the same place where Stevie from
I be in the city, I don't let 'em come backstage
I'm afraid my family cursed
Why the fuck you think a nigga had to go and change his last name?
Yeah, I'm from the trash, it was do or die
Made it out alive, only the strong survive
Had to sell my soul to help my mama out
Nеver turn on your niggas for some clout
You forgetting how to takе the trash out
Five hoes every night the last house
I'm throwing cash out
I made an ass out myself until I motherfuckin' pass out
Drunk as fuck in the airport
Probably kill ya if I tried to care more
Take my own life like it's a damn sport
Like it's Shakespeare
Nigga, eight years
No acres, on ay-ers
All my heroes from Chicago or Brooklyn
They a Laker
[Bridge]
As you sleep at night, the city's burning down to the ground
While I'm wide awake, I howl at the moon
All your dreams are never ending circles keeping me around
But I'm just a man with nothing to lose
[Outro]
Someone's watching me
Someone set me free
Will you hold me, can you show me
Show me empathy
Someone's watching me
Someone set me free
Will you hold me, can you show me
Show me empathy
