Under The Street Lights

[Intro]
I don't feel the same
I don't feel the same no more (I can't)
I don't feel the same, I don't feel it, I don't, I don't
I don't feel the same, I don't
I don't even got the same dream, I don't
(Damn, Smoot, that's you?)

[Verse 1]
Tryna be the best father for Jr and Karaun (Karaun)
Tryna be a better role model that I should've been for Quan (Quan)
And, bae, I know that it's been hard, but I promise, you the one (I Promise)
Streets took a toll on me, I'm still paranoid with my gun (Paranoid with my gun)
Drownin' myself inside this cup, man, this drank got me stuck (Got me stuck)
I ain't conversatin' 'bout nobody, the whole world know what's up (What's up)
Feel them people movin' in, I'm prayin' nobody ain't wearin' a wire
Could've gave my mom that bag that I had spent on my attire (Facts)
And I'm mentally fucked up, seventy thousand on the chain
Regrettin' that shit I did, I could've split that with the gang (Gang)
They go on the 'net and try to embarrass me, blogs tryna bash me
It's niggas tryna toe tag me and the prosecutors tryna max me (Tryna max me)
Steady tryna guide Rabbit down the right road (Red)
Our story get deep deeper, it's some shit that's untold
It's kinda hard to trust my dog when I know a couple niggas told (Mm)
Why the fuck you lyin' sayin' you here when I'm really out here on my own? (Mm-mm)

[Chorus]
Under the street lights
Nobody know what it feel like (Nobody know what it feel)
When you can't go back home (When you can't go back home)
Outside, all alone (I'm outside, all alone)
Under the street lights (Under the street lights)
Nobody know what it feel like (Nobody know what it feel like)
When you can't go back home (When you can't go back home)
Tryna survive on my own (Tryna survive on my own)

[Verse 2]
The roles of playin' the boss, you gotta pick up everybody slack (Facts)
Even when you don't know what to do, you gotta figure out and handle that (Handle that)
Everything fall back on you
When it's goin' good, they salute you, when it's all bad, they pointin' at you
Everybody else did, I ain't neglect you, I accept you
When I speak the truth, it hurt you
And when you was callin' out, I was first to
All the wrong that I had did, I still don't deserve you
When you cross me, I ain't cross you
When you lost me, it cost you (Cost you)
You a peasant, how the fuck that you gon' tell me what a boss do? (How the fuck?)
And this is a letter to my sons (To my sons)
When it's all said and done
Don't trust none of these niggas, never forget that you the one (Y'all the one)
And this is letter to my dogs, I done risked shit for y'all
I had a dream that all us would ball (Hold on)
Back to the drawin' board when I recreated my wish
Told 'em I was done with the streets, they told me, "That's not real shit"
I can't consult my time involvin' in bullshit
Reminiscin' 'bout times, it's some shit I can't forget (Can't forget)

[Chorus]
Under the street lights
Nobody know what it feel like (Nobody know what it feel)
When you can't go back home (When you can't go back home)
Outside, all alone (Outside, all alone)
Under the street lights (Under the street lights)
Nobody know what it feel like (Nobody know what it feel like)
When you can't go back home (When you can't go back home)
Tryna survive on my own (I was tryna survive on my own)

[Outro]
I don't feel the same
I'm tryna survive on my own out here
I'm talkin' 'bout, "I'm done with the streets," they told me that wasn't real
They want me to die in the streets
I got a different pickle
