Validated (feat. J. Crux & Chamz)
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
But that ain't on you
But that ain't on you
No matter what the people say
(Just be yourself)
Some of the realest n*ggas I know
They work a 9 to 5
Got jobs, nice houses and beautiful wives
Never been up in the streets
I love them like my brothers
We live by the same code, got respect for each other
Brainwashed as youth, like you gotta be street
In order to become a man, or get you some cheese
Daddy was a military man, showing me better
Too enticed by gang life, so I started rebelling
It's like I f*cked up my whole life
And now I'm trying to fix it
In my 30s living life as a felon convicted
I really do this for my parents and all of my children
The money ain't worth the bullsh*t that comes with it
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
But that ain't on you
But that ain't on you
No matter what the people say
(Yeah) I gotta move the only way that I know how
People gonna try to break you down
You tryna live your live the right way
(Uh) Seems like a trend and throw that sh*t away
Stay focused when they tell you otherwise
Victim to influence, please open up your eyes
Jumping off the porch to jump right in them people cell
Tricks of the enemy, I thought that you could tell
Strip us from our families to create a living hell (uh)
Welfare never meant us well
Time to unify and change our situation
Don't got to rob, steal and kill just for validation (no)
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
But that ain't on you
But that ain't on you
No matter what the people say
I don't need you to validate me
I caught a growth spurt mentally
Now your feelings are hurt
You have my deepest sympathy
I can't be what you want me to be
My attention has swayed indefinitely
While your intentions have changed unfortunately
Upset cuz my spirit is free
I let go of the demon in me
A slow process with unrest
I was offset
Conveniently I was hard pressed
Wading tragic moments like a contest
I must confess
It's a difficult concept
No more validating
I'm all set
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
You don't got to kill nobody to be loved
And it don't make you real, just because you sell drugs
You don't need to be validated
Either they gon' love or hate it
But that ain't on you
But that ain't on you
No matter what the people say
