Pay You Back

Yeh, we're good
Turn the lights off

I Pour out a lil liquor
For the man that gave you pain
I could never feel your loss
I just wanna see you gain
I could never be the same
Put the world up in my brain
Told me stay up in my lane
I'm your sun when you feel rain

And ever since I was a teen
Addicted to the hustle
I was somethin like a fiend
Saw me go drop outta college
I was trynna chase a dream
But you always gave me knowledge
Cause you knew I'm trynna scheme, huh

Yeh, now I shed a couple tears
Future looked clear
Now I'm watchin all these years
Goin by, as I reminisce
Lookin at my rear view mirror
Wondering how in the world I'm still here, huh

And it was all cuz of you
Every time that I was lost
Had to find a way through
Told me that I'm number one
I was never number two
Only way you'll make it out
Is to be true

Trynna see my life fold
But I'm stuck up in my past
Like the saying really goes
Good things never last
I be riding round town
Gotta get it while I can
I could never let you down
Mama raised a good man

I been known to keep it real
But I'm far from perfect
But you always made me feel like I was worth it
Aint no way that i could pay you back, huh
I just really wanna tell you that

That you You far from a Queen
Far from a mother
You put nothing between
Me and my brother, so
Ain't no way that I could pay you back
I just hate I gotta tell you that

When I was young
Me and my pops had beef
17 Years old, man I was wylin' on the streets
But my momma never
Ever gave up on my dreams
And you told me its okay to fall
But never let the snakes see me defeated, wait, uhh

Look at me, look at me
I got this sweet little lady
Smiling right from cheek to cheek
When the family never wanted me around
You hit me up like
Come through and make a scene
Make a scene, make a, wait

That's my son, that's a G
I promise I would never change
But now that dirty money clean
I bought benzes, gave you keys
Bought some houses, gave you keys
And if the globe had a price
I'll put the world under your feet, momma

Trynna see my life fold
But I'm stuck up in my past
Like the saying really goes
Good things never last
I be riding round town
Gotta get it while I can
I could never let you down
Mama raised a good man

I been known to keep it real
But I'm far from perfect
But you always made me feel like I was worth it
Aint no way that i could pay you back, huh
I just really wanna tell you that

That you You far from a Queen
Far from a mother
You put nothing between
Me and my brother, so
Ain't no way that I could pay you back
I just hate I gotta tell you that
