Stay True

Do you remember
How I gave you a ride
When you didn't have a car
Picked up the phone late night
When you called
Sent a couple dollars through Venmo
PayPal, CashAp
Now it seems really wild
How you can't find a kind word
When I come around
Not keeping score
But how many times
Did I hold you down
The moral of the story
You funny style
And I can only imagine what you might say
When I'm not around
Picking my face up
Off of the ground
Time changed cuz
Break every chain up
I'm lighter now
I'm just here to excite the crowd
Mission accomplished
You on that nonsense
I'm in the comets
Counting my pay stubs
Saving up for a new place
Maybe the lakefront
Hop in the 4-wheel drive
100 miles an hour on Poplar
Flip the ride like I'm whipping a space shuttle

But it's so hard
To stay true
It's so hard
To stay True
It's so hard
To stay True
It's so hard
To stay True
Stay True

Swimming with crabs
Competition I laugh
Scars on my spine, man
Muscle memory from the stabs
Not from the Mound
But I'm working my changeup
I you don't know loyalty
Then you ain't the same as us
Two step
Stepping up
Keep up the pace bruh
Keep the same energy that you had yester-was
Day before yesterday
I'm about to elevate
If it ain't peace
Then you gotta detonate
I used to wonder what hate was
Now I understand
Thinking you could beat the man
To be the man
You're just a flare in my atmosphere
Turn up the base
Paging the engineer
Close up the gate
No business here
Look in my face
What do you really fear
Blacker than black skin
The same hood you used to trap in
Baby I'm back in

It's so hard
Hard
Stay true
Stay true
Stay true
It's so
Stay true
Stay true

It's so
Stay true
Stay true
Stay true

It's so
Stay true
It's so hard
To stay true
Stay true

Hard
To do

Who?
