Morals

Ayy, morals on me, I done set them
I just be dissectin' everything that my pops said
It be hard to listen to your thoughts when your heart bled
They be spewin' dirt all over me like a dead man
And your shadow leaves you when it gets dark
Kind of just like on the come up when you can't find a spark
Everybody was so distant, now they peep I got bars
Now they sayin' they was with me through the struggle and hard

And it be like that sometimes, you gotta thug it through
Can't afford to wait on life to bless me, I'm gon' make my move
Realize that it's thoughts over your feelin's, that's what winners do
'Preciate the pain and sufferin' because that's how we grew
I remember plottin' back then, we done thought we had a clue
They ain't hit me up in months and now they say, "Wassup with you?"
I don't really care to make amends, no offense with it
Diss a couple hundred fiends, I ain't got no friends in it
Dealin' with the hate, why the come up such a cold business?
You know you relate, why you actin' like you stone within?
Countdown to my fate, hope I'm winnin' 'fore my grave diggin'
People said I changed, I can't afford to let regret kick it

Ayy, morals on me, I done set them
I just be dissectin' everything that my pops said
It be hard to listen to your thoughts when your heart bled
They be spewin' dirt all over me like a dead man
And your shadow leaves you when it gets dark
Kind of just like on the come up when you can't find a spark
Everybody was so distant, now they peep I got bars
Now they sayin' they was with me through the struggle and hard

I wanted more, was broke and poor, I knew I had it in me
Now every time you check the score, then I'm the one who's winning
They let me bleed out on the floor, they're lucky I'm not petty
I ain't got time for back and forth, I'm focused on these Benny's
You no the biggest problem out there, trust me, I got plenty
I'm gon' fulfill my purpose, even if I'm feelin' empty
And all the pressure they applyin', I won't let it change me
I been doin' it for you, sometimes I hear you faintly
I swear the music gets me through it when them nights get colder
I was down and broken, somehow you done pushed me lower
I was thinkin' 'bout my life and thought it might be over
Had to accept the fact I'm prolly not gon' get no closure

Ayy, morals on me, I done set them
I just be dissectin' everything that my pops said
It be hard to listen to your thoughts when your heart bled
They be spewin' dirt all over me like a dead man
And your shadow leaves you when it gets dark
Kind of just like on the come up when you can't find a spark
Everybody was so distant, now they peep I got bars
Now they sayin' they was with me through the struggle and hard
