Kid the World

Since the day you were born I promised to be your soldier
If you was to get picked on, I did it
No one else could fold ya'
Put my life on the line
If they coming they best hit me first
You can kid the world, but I'ma ride about hers

All I ever wanted was to keep you safe
Swerve all the harm from around yo' way
Daddy wasn't shit so it's all on me
Yeah daddy wasn't shit so it falls on me
Since mama had to work it was my job
To put you first
Was a hard job, sometimes you would do the work
I got story on story about you popping off first
She a real one
I swear I would die for you
Literally, I mean I almost died for you
And it's killing me
And it's still killing me right now
I done lost my best friend somehow

Since the day you were born I promised to be your soldier
If you was to get picked on, I did it
No one else could fold ya'

Wanted to stop you from becoming me
Drowning my pain in a bottle for weeks
I tried to protect you from so many things
Just to find out my scars you had received anyway
So blackout, it's easier
Don't cry, it's needier
I hate you feel what I felt
But now I carry a burden
Why don't you see I'm left broken
I had your back, but you betrayed mine

But since the day you were born I promised to be your soldier
If you was gon' get picked on, I did it
No one else could fold ya'
Put my life on the line
If they coming they best hit me first
You can kid the world, but I'ma die about hers
