I Had To
Hungry
Starving
Contemplating robbing
Then another me hardened
Like cement apartments
I was underneath all of it
Shit took over
I had to depart depression
Durango Range Rover
Life had me in a chokehold
Held in pain by the boatload
While niggas snort snow globe
I roll backwoods bigger than backroads
Shit so fucked up can't focus
And it hurt holding back my emotions
Worst feeling was my brokest
I had to Smoke weed and drink potions
Can't be controlled or remoted
Big gas on me I tote it
These niggas songs bogus
Every verse I'm on golden
I had to put the key in and start the car
On defense all against the odds
I had to stop geeking
Start going hard
I had to release and believe in God
I was hungry
Starving
Contemplating robbing
Then another me hardened
Like cement apartments
I was underneath, all of it
Shit took over
Had to depart depression
Durango Range Rover
I did what the fuck I had to do
Since high school
Walking North avenue
To get my food
No attitude
Put on gratitude
Just to get by
Big drink and get high
Get paid and get fly
I Talib Kweli
Just to get by
Uh
Ahead of my past
Lost pain slim fast
Losing friends too
Social Gastric bypass
I had to depart away
Like Penny I took the Hardaway
Chasing henny with Chardonnay
Never again will giving my heart away
I was hungry
Starving
Contemplating robbing
Then another me hardened
Like cement apartments
I was underneath all of it
Shit took over
I Had to depart depression
Durango Range Rover
Starving
Contemplating robbing
Then another me hardened
Like cement apartments
I was underneath all of it
Shit took over
I had to depart depression
Durango Range Rover
Life had me in a chokehold
Held in pain by the boatload
While niggas snort snow globe
I roll backwoods bigger than backroads
Shit so fucked up can't focus
And it hurt holding back my emotions
Worst feeling was my brokest
I had to Smoke weed and drink potions
Can't be controlled or remoted
Big gas on me I tote it
These niggas songs bogus
Every verse I'm on golden
I had to put the key in and start the car
On defense all against the odds
I had to stop geeking
Start going hard
I had to release and believe in God
I was hungry
Starving
Contemplating robbing
Then another me hardened
Like cement apartments
I was underneath, all of it
Shit took over
Had to depart depression
Durango Range Rover
I did what the fuck I had to do
Since high school

Starving
Contemplating robbing
Then another me hardened
Like cement apartments
I was underneath all of it
Shit took over
I Had to depart depression
Durango Range Rover
