I Was Always Him

Another day, where the drank where the smoke
Do it up cause we aim for the most
I get throwed
Tryna keep sane for my folk
I'm the mane wit no chain hangin' low
They didn't know
Till I pulled up did it nice
Then the stars and the lights they all had big glow
I was always him they didn't know
I was always him they didn't know

Ay fuck 12, they locked my homie up and threw away the key
Two days later never thought I'd tell my brother RIP
Lost one nigga to the grave
Lost one nigga to the streets
People telling me stay strong cause they ain't ever seen me weak
Need to call my ex's phone cause I ain't spoke to her in weeks
Tell her she the one I need but I don't wanna feed the beast
Cause her ego way to steep
And I'm tryin to protect my peace
And our climax might've been reached
So next lifetime we'll play for keeps
But until then
Ima keep on moving
Keep on kicking pushin', keep on doing what I'm doing
Ay reaping repercussions from believing in that woman
And yea that shit was stupid
But can't complain, it was my choice
Ay y'all don't hear me though
Just another wasted voice
And if I have some babies I'm just praying that they boys
Cause the way I've done some ladies got me daughter paranoid
Yea, karma is real that's something you can't avoid
You, reap what u sew
And teach what u know
And, compete like they always keeping the score
Cause you never know when you might catch yo break
So do yo thang, no pain no gain
And maintain bruh you can't Cobain
And switch lanes 'fore you slam yo brakes
Remain sane don't you blame yo brain no, no, no
You still a king, give a damn if yo rings ain't clean, yea

Another day, where the drank where the smoke
Do it up cause we aim for the most
I get throwed
Tryna keep sane for my folk
I'm the mane wit no chain hangin' low
They didn't know
Till I pulled up did it nice
Then the stars and the lights they all had big glow
I was always him they didn't know
I was always him they didn't know

Little junior
With a hand full of petunias
And a cup full of patrona
Ain't no freedom from your honor
Send me back from whenst I cometh
The sentence is
Confine him to sentences
Written only in instances that took away innocence
Now remind 'em
Every page that get turned
Is a scar that's been earned
From the heart it get given
Out of faith he relive it
Still a young boy
There's a lot more left to write you lil dumb boy
If I was you I'd talk about the bikes and all the toys I used to play wit
Then you could make it make sense
And erase the visions of prisons bars that you can't lift
It's so much easier
And sit more at ease with ya
If you ignore the thing that's grieving ya
Then you can put it off until it eat at ya
Watch yo self get older, way more further from the peace in ya
But at least for now you got the satisfaction of seeming a
Regular kid
Havin' regular fun
With his regular friends
At the regular spot
That ya'll convene on weekends
But yo feather too fly
For yo ink to be thin
Now the season contins
One more day to dig in
I suppose it's a sin to be the flyest inside yo own skin

Another day, where the drank where the smoke
Do it up cause we aim for the most
I get throwed
Tryna keep sane for my folk
I'm the mane wit no chain hangin' low
They didn't know
Till I pulled up did it nice
Then the stars and the lights they all had big glow
I was always him they didn't know
I was always him they didn't know
