Turned on Me

Statik Selektah (Statik Selektah)
I remember the pain, yeah
So many turned on me and tried to take me out the game
But I was too solid and remained
I remember the pain
Never forget the pain, yeah

I remember comin' home, baggin' up, runnin' zones
And Maze gave me thirty-one grams and a phone
My dogs was all dead or in jail, I was alone
If you owed, then I waited outside if you wasn't home (I did)
I learned to press issues, it's like a Respect issue (respect issue)
Should always be available when your connect hits you (connect hits you)

These young cats only respect pistols
So if this TEC hits you and rips through your neck tissue (you gone)
Just know that we tried to invest in you (tried to invest in you)
Thought you had some honor, guess none of it's left in you (guess none of it's left in you)
This shit is eighty percent mental (word)
And it's crazy how the worst could bring out the best in you

So many turned on me (turned on me) and tried to take me out the game (take me out the game)
But I was too solid and remained (remained)
Still remember the pain (pain, pain)
I'll never forget the pain (pain, pain)
So many turned on me (turned on me), tried to take me out the game (take me out the game)
But I was too solid and remained
I remember the pain (pain, pain)
Never forget the pain (pain, pain)

Been stabbed in the back so much, it felt normal (it felt normal)
In court was the only time we'd ever dress formal (facts)
In funerals, had the shirts with the airbrush (airbrush)
Your hood mourned for you, though you wasn't there much
I dropped bad work and made 'em drop it again (drop it again)
I fronted homie, went on top 'cause I had drops comin' in (I had drops comin' in)
I came home, my phone was dead and he was coppin' up ten (he was coppin' up ten)
He found us all a better plug and now we coppin' off him (word)

The game crazy (Crazy), don't hate, make sure you getting yours (yours)
'Cause when you married to the streets, you don't get divorced
I feel we made it through the wicked wars
On the run, I pissed in bottles and slept on floors
Life can be disgusting (disgusting), struggling for essentials (essentials)
Hustling's consequential, informing's confidential (informing's confidential)
I told 'em, this shit is eighty percent mental (uh-huh)
And it's crazy how the worst gon' bring out the best in you

So many turned on me (turned on me) and tried to take me out the game (take me out the game)
But I was too solid and remained (remained)
Still remember the pain (pain, pain)
I'll never forget the pain (pain, pain) (yeah)
So many turned on me, and tried to take me out the game (take me out the game)
But I was too solid and remained
I remember the pain (pain, pain)
I'll never forget the pain (pain, pain)

If you could read my paperwork, you'd be like, "How? What the fuck?"
Like, this man said he worked in a merged work, and said he was walking through some of other's work
And he showed them theories, he's nowhere on this video
He's in the backseat of the car, there's two cameras pointing at them sitting, and he's asking, "Where are you at?"
