Truth (Set You Free)

Ohhh
Whoa
What's going on?
You give me peace, you help me be
You make me better than I've ever been
And it don't stop (I know that's right)
Lately I've been striving to be more authentic
I gotta go for what I know
People think being vulnerable makes you weak
Nah, nigga
Being vulnerable makes you strong

I said some fucked up shit to my shorty, dog, and I didn't mean it
Damn
I told her stop tryna talk to me when I'm sleeping
Lately I'm fighting demons, I ain't religious
It just gives me something to believe in
I can't remember the last time I took a call from God
Cause nowadays I screen em, I ain't tryna talk at all
I'm making moves, you can't even catch me at shopping malls
And if it ain't online, then I don't shop at all
They talk about me a lot, but if they ain't talking money, I'm probably not involved
They tryna knock me off
I tell em Mazel tov
Want me to leave, they hoping that I don't drop in Fall
Huh... well maybe I Autumn
Win terrifically on these niggas And spring from the bottom
And bring the heat because I'm hot like summer
You niggas drop whole tapes and do not do numbers
So I took the top spot, top spot I plunder
You snitches probably gone make a statement tonight
It cost to be the boss, lately I just been paying the price
You can't miss what you never had, hope I'm saying it right
Money coming in by the pound, it ain't weighing up right
Money all over the town, I guess I can stay for a night
Some niggas went left, but that comes with making it right
I told em it's too late to late back, I should take my advice
Writing this in the studio, smoking and drinking a sprite
I realized you can't have love without hate in your life

Whoa
And I know you're tired
Of trying to keep everything inside
Fighting these battles with your pride
I hope one day you'll be alright
And I pray that something's gonna change
But it all remains the same
Do-do-do-do-doot-do-do

I got a lot of stress that's on my mind losing my head but I got to keep it
Got tired of giving niggas my pledge when they're not allegiant
My ego is getting too hungry, I gotta feed it
I graduated from all of the bullshit, no scholarship needed
Everyone say I'm destined for greatness, I gotta achieve it
You can't just say the sky is the limit, you got to believe it
I done failed so many times that I have no problem succeeding
Heavy is the head, my medulla oblongata is bleeding
(Whew) Damn shit is getting real now
My youngins use tools, I made em put the gears down.
King of the new school, we have nothing to fear now
I've been the person I dreamed I could be for some years now
I got the shit that makes you cry and then makes your tears smile
Mama, don't worry. Your little boy is not a kid now
I got a bunch of my own, plus I'm running a biz now
Exquisite Affair, we make people get up and get down
Yea, and all that hate shit, I peeped it
I did songs for free when I should've charged a feature
Put niggas on my album that wanna be on some beef shit
But they never go outside, they ain't with that street shit
Yeah, and don't ask me bout Shanay, we enjoying our life
She gave me more than a reason to put up more than a fight
So I gave her more than a ring cause she's so much more than a wife
And we somewhere boarding a flight (yaaah)
You niggas flashing all your money look dopey to me (you stupid)
You got a check for 20g and went broke in a week
Them PPP's and SBA's ain't get you far
And if you ain't got no hustle, you shouldn't quit your job
Niggas is the worst
Sometimes, you just gotta really hit em where it hurts
Sometimes, you gotta show em what they don't wanna see
They say they want the real, and that's all you'll get from me
They hate to hear the truth because the truth will set you free

(Whoa)
And I know you're tired
Of trying to keep everything inside (every time)
Fighting these battles with your pride
I hope one day you'll be alright
And I pray that something's gonna change
But it all remains the same
Do-do-do-do-doot-do-do

(I love your body)
The man that knows something Knows that he knows nothing
(But it all remains the same)
Fighting these battles
But it all remains the same
