I keep my head on a swivel for the 'digm shift
These niggas hungry, so is we
Ink next to the x, I know that nothing really free
Get it how I live, and nigga, that's just how it be
Said nigga, that's just how it go
Need my fix to feed my soul
Yeah, that's just how it go
I thought I knew but I ain't know
(I thought I knew but I ain't know)
Yeah, uh, yeah
Your flag red
You not shooting or blood
That shoulda stopped me in my tracks but it ain't
End of the day all what we craving is love
Traded my sanity for validation, needed a hug
I'm slipping, falling, pick me up, I'm coming back, you the plug
No wonder Mari saying love is a drug
I ain't believe him
Now I'm trapped in a cell
Tryna figure how to maneuver this hell
I love it and I fucking hate it but I'm tryna prevail
See I only wake for money to chase
They call me veil it bring a smile to my face
I know my efforts really working well
But every time you come around you got some shit to say
Reached the point I need my space, asking God to cut me loose
Yeah, let me fly, let me breathe, on this Pigeonman shit
I'm with the doves they're what I need
I'm gone I'm out the way that's what they pleaded
Read that 5500 on the dash
Bitch I'm speeding out the motherfucking mix
That's to where I've always been
You attracting all that negativity,
I let you in, past my better judgment
And I can't even begin to forget
I hate the fact that you still live in my head
I still remember that that version is dead
And I try to cope, I'll just leave you on read
I brag and boast that I'm still getting this bread
Cause anything to replace the feeling you never gave
Percussion sticks on wide metal rims is helping me ease the pain
If I ain't never had this outlet niggas would just see my brain
And my blood on the walls cause it's all the same
I missed your call I heard them calling my name
Cause one got praise and one need someone to blame
You get the picture, nigga fuck the frame
It's about success, my nigga fuck the fame
'Cause I could go to the grave hustling, long as niggas knew my pain
'Cause we all hungry, bro, it's all the same
This life a gamble, we gon' play the game
Ya dig? Yeah
I keep my head on a swivel for the 'digm shift
These niggas hungry, so is we
Ink next to the x, I know that nothing really free
Get it how I live, and nigga, that's just how it be
Said nigga, that's just how it go
Need my fix to feed my soul
Yeah, that's just how it go
I thought I knew but I ain't know
(I thought I knew but I ain't know)
