[ Featuring Mike & Keys ]
T's a couple different ways you make it out this life
Know your steps, just in case they come cut out the lights
Got no respect for no badge reading out my rights
Fame expensive, maybe we could speak about the price
When they talk about my name, know I define greatness
We couldn't rush a day, took divine patience
Ain't nothing been the same, that's just my observation
These memories never fade - no, I cannot erase it
I didn't watch loyalty disintegrate
Blowing in the wind, windows down on the interstate
I was confused, I always thought when the money came
That means sunny days and all your problems just went away
Ain't nothing slow me down like when I had a Sprite
Sometimes it was red, then it was green, like we was at the light
Killers only hit intended targets they be that precise
You're not familiar with begging God to just bring up any life
My energy protected, I've been burning sage
Follow how you're feeling, you won't be led astray
I said it and I meant it, don't know no other way
They asked me how I'm doing
I tell them I'm doing great
Cause if I really wasn't, could you help me?
If I really wasn't, would you help me?
If I really wasn't, would you help me?
If I really wasn't, would you help me?
When your talent speak for itself never pretend to be great
I moved on from that Nike box, I tried to fill up a safe
The shit get real, it turn you numb, feel like your feelings erase
You ain't never got the chills til you shake
Homie, the streets cold
No contributions to nothing I was pursuing
I understand it's hard to call it a movement if it ain't moving
Keep your energy the same from all them days when I felt ruined
Had everything to gain, but you complain while we regroupin
We sat around the table, broke bread like disciples
Judas I could feel you, touch a snake and it might bite you
Can I call and ask you for the things you ask of me ?
Probably wouldn't let me use your bathroom if I had to pee
If I was on fire, you probably wouldn't throw no water on me
Now you tryna swim, you see my jeweler threw some water on me
If I was you and you was me, you would have left me out
I got it on my own, I would never ask you to help me out
My energy protected, I've been burning sage
Follow how you're feeling, you won't be led astray
I said it and I meant it, don't know no other way
They asked me how I'm doing
I tell them I'm doing great
Cause if I really wasn't, could you help me?
If I really wasn't, would you help me?
If I really wasn't, would you help me?
If I really wasn't would you help me?"
