Said I would never do this
Said I would never use it
Said I would never choose this
For the love of the music
Said I would never do this
Whatever happened to them things you said you'd never do
Guess you was capping when you said that back in middle school
You was young, you was dumb, how could ever know
Now you old and you grown, your flaws begin the show
Let me begin this show when you said you would never hurt her
Don't you pretend like, oh, the road was blocked, she wanted further
How bout them drugs when you need love that you was introduced to
You said that you could quit whenever, using them, they use you
You said you'd never be jealous, but then she got a new dude
Know where this lifestyle is headed, go head and cop a two two
You in the club, couple drugs, yeah you popped a few too
You in the club, couple slugs, yeah you popped a few too
You got here on your own
On your quest for the throne
This the life that they recite when they be singing your songs
You grew up singing them too
Your favorite rappers had two
No maybe three, or maybe four
Dropping bodies on the floor
Said I would never do this
Said I would never use it
Said I would never choose this
For the love of the music
Said I would never do this
What do you do when you become the thing you hate the most
Where do you go when you got demons living coast to coast
I brought my baggage on this record, time for show n tell
The way we raised, man you get grazed if you show intel
Said I wouldn't turn to alcohol to solve my problems
Said I wouldn't look to women like a southern auction
So many things I said I'd never do
But I swear darkness fall up on me like some residue
Heaven's view, I hope it's different
Am I just a slave to my desires, am I Willie Lynching
Said I wouldn't, but I'm back repenting
Said I wouldn't, but I'm back pretending
Someone tell when the son's descending
Said I wouldn't but I'm back for my more
47 that was cap for sure
47 like I'm at New York
Staten Island, they just checking my papers
But couldn't find em
Know I immigrated to the land of the free
Assimilated when I heard we was sheep
Simulated, know they instigated
Man said I wouldn't but I integrated
I was so frustrated, know it's complicated
Know I said that I...
Said I would never do this
Said I would never use it
Said I would never choose this
For the love of the music
Said I would never do this
