Tread Lightly

I've been feeling an endangered species
See me as a target they say they tryna police me
Need a PBA
My ex she working at the precinct
But she scared to see me
Know she gone end up cheating
It's hard for me to trust 'em
Hang around them swipers
Pockets looking for that stuffing
I was boutta get a job
We wasn't clocking in for nothing
Sold T-shirts and Dj'd
Shit I was hustling
And everywhere I go it's paranoia
Owing granny rent so I avoid her
Go ahead and send me nudes
I promise that I won't exploit her
I got control of my mind
Like game got controllers
I can lead you to the pond
You just gotta drink the water
I've been shutting down the cyphers
Before Trump shut the border
Turned my empty water jug
Into a stash for my quarters
Used to watch law and order
In the land of the lawless
Lawyers Mortal Kombat'n
Til the victory is flawless
Ima hit the studio
And tell my nigga Joe record this
Gotta be the top dawg
I can't take too many orders
Get Top on the phone
Gotta pick up I been calling
All this broke shit getting boring
Mama gotta see me flossing

And it's alright
And it's okay
And it's alright
And it's alright
But I can't play
No I can't play
And it's alright
And it's okay
And it's okay
And it's alright
I'll find my way
I'll find my way
Going through some shit then dog you gotta keep your head up
It's about time you get your bread up
Tread lightly be careful
Tread lightly don't be fearful
Going through some shit then dog you gotta keep your head up
It's about time you get your bread up
Tread lightly be careful
Tread lightly don't be fearful

I been feeling like the whole world against me
Stomach on empty ain't no Santa ain't no chimney
I know some street niggas
Though the money seem tempting
I ain't tryna risk it all
I can't rap behind the wall
Gotta reach my full potential
And this weight up on my mental
Can't be bench pressed by the hulk
Niggas outlined in chalk
Know I gotta kick the bucket
That's my motivation
Fuck it
Know I gotta leave a mark like I punched you in the jaw
Ima grab it with a Claw
Mr. Krabs
With money
Hide it from myself
I'm playing tag with the money
And this social media got all the homies acting funny
Don't be scared to comment scared to tag if you love me
What you doing for the clout
I ain't got no time for doubt
Watch the words out your mouth
They got the power to re-route
A whole destination
Can't believe in contemplating
I've been working I've been slaving
'Til my energy is vacant

And it's alright
And it's okay
And it's alright
And it's alright
But I can't play
No I can't play
And it's alright
And it's okay
And it's okay
And it's alright
I'll find my way
I'll find my way
Going through some shit then dog you gotta keep your head up
It's about time you get your bread up
Tread lightly be careful
Tread lightly don't be fearful
Going through some shit then dog you gotta keep your head up
It's about time you get your bread up
Tread lightly be careful
Tread lightly don't be fearful
