Diablo's Truth

Whatever was in that cup, it got me feeling real low
I mask my emotions by rolling up a rillo
I'm gon' make it to a penthouse the way that I flow
With all this attention on me, ima have to lie low
Get protection from my brothers that blow the Rico
What happens in the city stays there and that's the need know
I put myself in situations only God knows
But I'm just tryna make a dollar to help my block grow
Ion ever miss my shot, you can call me D-Rose
With the way I'm moving, dodging bullets from these hoes
The money I make is the only this that I keep close
I can't ever trust a woman who's quick to tie souls
Soul ties, more lies, I would rather fly solo
Can't be catching feelings for a woman, that's a no no
The way she lie to me, she singin' in the legato
She on demon time, I call her my el Diablo

I stay on my toes, cuz everybody switchin' up
Ion care to pay my debts back, I'ma run it up
The illegal lifestyle's the only way I can make it up
I'm givin' money to my momma, I can only make enough
This block poetry keep it real when I need the truth
I was testing your patiencejust to see the worst in you
I'm only 19, with experience like I'm 32
I'm collectin' memories, like Ion got enough to do
I'm going to parties just to feel a different type a way
Tryna score myself a woman who'll never flake
I got verses that'll never see the light of day
At least until I'm featured, getting paid like 30k
I keep my best interest in mind like I learned from Drake
I got something on my mind that I just can't explain
Im tryna find a way out, I just need a way
To sell my emotions, get rid of this expensive pain

Every night, I say a prayer before I hit these streets
'God, protect me from any of these hoes that I might meet'
Because women are my downfall, so is my money tree
And I just bought a new chain, and I don't need the receipt
I let this shawty come over, she bringin' my favorite drinks
Up in the hotel, like 'oh well, let's make a movie scene'
It's entertaining when you feel like I'm your only fling
But I'm reality, I know you got yourself another king
So I gotta make a move before I go and face the truth
Love is a game that I don't win, I don't even lose
She don't ever ask about our status cuz I just leave her clues
And I know it drives her crazy but that's what a lightskin do
The 11th floor was ours, and we made ourselves right at home
We threw a kickback with your friends, so how we still feel alone?
But when it's time for them to leave, we turning on your favorite songs
Whenever it's just us two, fuck whoever's on your fuckin' phone

She bringin' up my past and blames it on my zodiac
So I try to convince her and tell her that it's just more than that
When it's time to deal with my drama, where my brodies at?
All this to say, I guess they never really had my back
Never trust a woman if she takes a handout
She just all about that cash, waiting till her man's out
And these hoes got hoes, that's just the way that it goes
When you live your life on the streets with all the girls that I know
