April 10th

Should they leave me alone
Should they leave me alone
I'm just a man on my own
Rising through quicksand imma stand on my throne

What a feeling when it's real
You and your brothers
Thinking how to make a mill
Society stuck on teaching how to pop a pill
And them boys got new methods
They tryna make you squeal
A young scholar I ain't neva ask for handouts
Head of my class
Poppa told me gotta stand out

Somehow the cops always telling me to stand down
If I don't cooperate
Know ill be a man down
Six with a brick the homie said I'm a manchild
Couldn't comprehend then
S I understand now
Never for the cameras
I don't understand clout
Hot boyz get Bentleys
I was moving vans out
High-risk high reward but you learn
When dem doors getting shut
And you waiting on ya turn

Growing up it was tough
But they asking for my earns
Declining so long them bridges get burned
S you need to learn
I'm just tryna feed da family
I'm just tryna make a killing pleading insanity
Charismatic and I'm bleeding this vanity
Prolly why my ex left
Said she couldn't handle me
She was wit a boss n
How she gone manage me
Posted with her new n
Still never damaged me

Till this day I'm just grateful
It's funny how my plate empty but I gotta plate full
I play it cool but n don't approach us
Scare crow n get froze up from dem vultures
They t-shirt n but never put us on a poster
S so offsett for the love of the culture

And pray for jason that n like my brother
With every dollar made imma make sure he recover
It's just in our nature thinking that they love us
I just pray to God that he keep devil from us

And s hard where I live
Homie got killed cause he took the wrong ball to the crib
It's crazy, cause n watched him take it
Aint think about his loved ones and how the f pained em

S every week tryna calculate sustaining
Some days no water s be getting draining
Everyday arraignments
Tryna make arrangements
Process prolonged somebody making statements

I know a king that got life kept mouth s
His man running free and he the one blew the house up
But don't listen to me
Only time I relaxed wHen I listen to meek
Only time I'm relaxed if u give me a beat
Only thing they pour is blood and yacht in the streets
Ain't nobody catching karma for what happened to me
So much r.i.p.s imma rest wit my piece

If I need love imma write a letter me
I love you
Aint nobody i cud trust in dese streets its f you
I don't say dat to a lesser degree go for 50
In my city I'm da best imma beast
I cosign n that be coming second to me
I ghostwrite for my self s I'm better than me

You stepping to me, I tell you aint no blueprint n
It's something bout them steak outs, ain't no ruth chris n
I proved it, wit music I ain't losing n
Them Jack boys through the park ain't amusement n
You could hate all u want imma use it n
Cuz You Had a silver spoon, and ain't use it n

And Capo gone make a killing off of killing these s
Imma visit all the n wasn't giving me s
I hope they see the middle finger when they see the 3 swish
Until I reach a couple mil, ain't seeing me quit

Shoulda left me alone
Shoulda left me alone
I'm just a man of my own
Rising through quicksand
Imma stand on my throne
