Close Calls (feat. Baker Man)
Maybe it's just the shadow of weariness
Of how tired we are
Struggling to claw our way back to a middle class that no longer exists
Because of those who take more than they deserve
And they keep taking
Until all that's left for the rest of us
Is a memory of how it used to be
Before the corporations and the bottom line decided we didn't matter anymore
But we do
Everyday I feel it slip away
Like Tupac I see better days
See better days
Mmmm Yeaaa
And every time I try to break my stride
I keep my head up to the sky
Mmmm Yeaaa
Standing 10 toes tall
Niggas wish I would fall
All I wanna do is ball
Too many close calls
Waiting on a phone call
Ridin for my dawgs
Niggas said I won't win
Wavy like a shark fin
Ain't nobody I depend
Niggas tryna follow trends
We can't be friends
All my friends kin
How would they rather see the King they want him beheaded
I don't trust no nigga get your profile while I'm checkin
Hatred on my voicemail I don't be checkin
Give it no attention had to stop the infection
Caller ID my identity
Affecting my preference you don't even see
My shawty she paranoid that imma cheat
She look at the beauty I don't see in me
All these risks that I take I don't know when to leave
Be the wolf in this game ain't no time countin sheep
These streets don't play fair I know they play for keeps
Tryna stay above water I feel imma sink Yeaaa
I can't think Yeaaa
So high can't blink Yeaaa
Liquor my shrink Yeaaa
Everyday I feel it slip away
Like Tupac I see better days
See better days
Mmmm Yeaaa
And every time I try to break my stride
I keep my head up to the sky
Mmmm Yeaaa
Standing 10 toes tall
Niggas wish I would fall
All I wanna do is ball
Too many close calls
Waiting on a phone call
Ridin for my dawgs
Niggas said I won't win
Wavy like a shark fin
Ain't nobody I depend
Niggas tryna follow trends
We can't be friends
All my friends kin
Definitely stressed this gotta be test
Cuz the way I been feeling got me feelin like I'm coming close to death
I won't speak that up cuz words are magic
That's why it's called spelling sex drugs death the sells is tragic
The way it's going it got people knowing
Government never gave a fuck about us and it's showing
It don't bother me though
I'm just waiting on them ETs yo
Beam me up this planet ghetto I'm ready to go
I be looking at the stars in the night
Wondering when the bright light gonna come and help us fight
But then it dawns on me it's all on we
The one we been looking for is all of us together you see
Better get right before you get left
Open up your third eye so you can see where you're deaf
Pay attention to the diction that was mentioned cuz if you miss it
It could be critical to your mission
Are you listening
Everyday I feel it slip away
Like Tupac I see better days
See better days
Mmmm Yeaaa
And every time I try to break my stride
I keep my head up to the sky
Mmmm Yeaaa
Standing 10 toes tall
Niggas wish I would fall
All I wanna do is ball
Too many close calls
Waiting on a phone call
Ridin for my dawgs
Niggas said I won't win
Wavy like a shark fin
Ain't nobody I depend
Niggas tryna follow trends
We can't be friends
