Too Many Nights

[Intro: Derez De'Shon]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, no

[Chorus: Derez De'Shon]
I spent too many nights (Too many nights)
Prayin' and cryin' (Prayin' and cryin')
Wonderin' why (Wonderin' why)
How I survived
That ain't no lie, 'ie
That ain't no lie, 'ie-ie-ie

[Post-Chorus: Derez De'Shon]
All them days when shit wasn't workin', I ain't understand (I ain't understand)
All of the pain had a nigga hurtin', talkin' to a man
Long live the big homie, go hard for the lil' homies
Ready to die but I tell 'em to live for me
One time for the real homies, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1: Derez De'Shon]
Yeah, Derez De'Shon, came from the bottom
Everything I ever wanted, I got it
Shout out to all of the niggas that doubted
I made a mil' and ain't sign a dotted (Dotted), line (Line)
Derez De'Shon, I made it up out it (Ayy), no lie, no lie
Got so many niggas locked up in prison, it's hard to hear 'em half the time
I barely hear 'em half the time
Wish I was with 'em half the time
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I'd visit if I had the time
You was there when I ain't have a dime
You ain't care if I ain't have a dime
J-Bear said it all the time
I swear too many of my partners died
Got me wonderin' how I survived
Prayin' to God, I'm speakin' no lies
Derez De'Shon, yeah

[Chorus: Derez De'Shon]
I spent too many nights (Too many nights)
Prayin' and cryin' (Prayin' and cryin')
Wonderin' why (Wonderin' why)
How I survived
That ain't no lie, 'ie (Prayin' in quiet)
That ain't no lie, 'ie-ie-ie

[Post-Chorus: Derez De'Shon]
All them days when shit wasn't workin', I ain't understand
All of the pain had a nigga hurtin', talkin' to a man
Long live the big homie, go hard for the lil' homies
Ready to die but I tell 'em to live for me
One time for the real homies, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2: Trouble]
I tried, I tried, I tried, but shit get stressful, homie
These niggas ain't gon' ride, they just kept sleepin' on me
These niggas playin' both sides, that shit ain't healthy, homie
I tried, I tried, I tried, but feelin' helpless, homie
Really been flyin'
Even locked in the kennel, my nigga been down
You choose to ride
But your nigga won't even send you twenty-five
Locked up inside
You got nothin' but freedom that's stuck on your mind
You out here wildin'
Fuckin' niggas who see you do nothin' but smile
I don't fuck with that ho no more, yeah
Breakin' that ho, she a nat-nat
Y'all ain't goin' for the chat-chat
Hundred round stuffed in the backpack
I don't fuck with these niggas no more, yeah
Niggas rat you out for the cat-cat
I done been stabbed in the back-back
I'm just tryna get these rack-racks

[Chorus: Derez De'Shon]
I spent too many nights (Too many nights)
Prayin' and cryin' (Prayin' and cryin')
Wonderin' why (Wonderin' why)
How I survived
That ain't no lie, 'ie (Prayin' in quiet)
That ain't no lie, 'ie-ie-ie

[Post-Chorus: Derez De'Shon]
All them days when shit wasn't workin', I ain't understand
All of the pain had a nigga hurtin', talkin' to a man
Long live the big homie, go hard for the lil' homies
Ready to die but I tell 'em to live for me
One time for the real homies, yeah yeah yeah
