If You Love Me

I always trip out when I hear somebody say
Don't forget about me when you make it
Iight don't get funny acting when you make it
Is you gon' forget about me if I don't

Shit then what, nigga
What about you, baby? Is you gon' leave? What's up

Dr. King had a dream, he believed in, so did I

2017, staring out my sunroof, I had to dry my eyes
God, please, can you send me a miracle down from the sky
Shit fucked up Im runnin outta luck, I can't even lie to you
What's the purpose you put me here? Can you tell me why

Can I peek at the future and see if I make a decisions in life
If I didn't, just let me come back and I promise I'm gon' make it right
Fool me once, its shame on you, on me if you get me twice
Ran on a window pane, it was a stormy night

Darkness is what it takes to get sunny sometimes, like Uncle Ice
Niggas feel this shit, I be spot on, nigga, I'm too precise
Pop aint give me this shit straight from the mud, nigga, I had to sanitize it
I threw away the pen, this come from the lens, nigga, I ain't have to write it

I be painting that picture, I really need to chill before I get myself indicted
Ma asked where that money come from in that nightstand, I tried my best to hide it
Honest living, I ain't look her in the face, cause I know damn well I'm lying
Pray I touch a million, off Pro Tools, nigga, I'm really trying

And I done spent it all behind this rap shit, nigga, plenty times
I'm just being honest
Red roof Inn Atlanta weekends, just a day in the life of struggling artists, I promise
I had lost my bitch, I was away from my kid, nigga, I had to keep striving

I ain't had no time for the X GAMES, nigga, I had to keep grinding
I was at war with friends, with niggas I've known for years
Some niggas pick sides, some niggas dick riding, it is what it is
I made peace with it, it still happened, so I can't forget it

Through all that shit, I rose through the fire like a phoenix
Say you love me, you'll never judge me if you mean it
They was never your people, they was just waiting on a reason
If you ain't pure with good intentions, you can keep it

If I say I got you, then I got you long as I'm breathing
Think about L.A. face in that casket, I'm still grieving
Keep his obituary beside Granddad so I can see him
When I say I need a hug, girl, I really need it

Just cause I don't speak on that shit don't mean I ain't peep it
Gave you all of me, you gave me part of you, shit, that ain't even
I was compassionate, showed respect to ya all that like Kel and Kenan
Curved bitches for a year, I ain't pay no attention, you was the reason

I was focused plotting on the mill, you was out the country being the eater
Maybe you was my karma, fuck it, we gon' keep this shit a secret
Try to take the route of a good nigga, caught up to me like a wide receiver
I don't expect much out of people

Cause as long as I win, they gon' hold me up like a cheerleader
But as soon as I lose, they gon' break fast like a egg beater
Me, myself, and I, all I really got
That's just what it is

I came into the world alone, I'm a die alone, I'm prepared for that
And fuck if you against me, I love you if you with me
And we'll never land
