Put It Behind Me

Yeah, ha!
Got my baby girl singing
That's right

Man, all this vanity got me hooked on the game
Sold my soul for some dough, now restrained by the chains
Got this Cortisol coursing all through my veins
Poison so corrosive, death scopin' his claim

I wanted this, I wanted that, it ain't never enough
Had the cars, had the house, tried to call life's bluff
But that backfired, I realized what had weight
Me and my daughter makin' memories, our bond won't break

We be fused together 'cause we got used together
Now we rockin' these tracks, we droppin' jewels together
Head swelled up, bought six thousand square feet
Crazy, how the meaning of shelter done changed to me

Yeah, it's ya boy big Benzo, and I'm back in the game
And yeah, I like the finer thangs, but I gotta refrain
From eatin' off this plate that's been fed to me
Still chase that paper, but now I can breathe, so let 'em know, baby

Please believe I've been down this road
I need to transform like a diamond from coal
It's time to change the way I be
Now throw out all that trash, put it behind me (put it all behind me)

Please believe I've been down this road
I need to transform like a diamond from coal
It's time to change the way I be
Now throw out all that trash, put it behind me (put it all behind me)

Yeah!
Sing it, baby!
Zo, Berkley
Just tryna do better, you know?

So simply put but still overlooked
My ego burned my dreams down, still covered in soot
Just tryna feed my fame the way I feed my fam
Some say my plan is wrong, but I keep it cocked in my hand

And I never let up, and I never let go
I can't never shut up, my mouth my biggest foe
Trying to speak on things that I don't even know
Just caught a glimpse, now I hate this dude with my whole soul

I be competitive ingrained since five years old
Scored three goals, Pops said, "It shoulda been four"
Ever since, I didn't care who was in my way
I justified the means 'cause those means got me paid

Now I see the hurt I caused, and I'm so very sorry
Took me 40 years and gettin' burned like some wasabi
Had to see the truth, wash away my sins, tsunami
Now it's the only way I know how to put all this behind me, yeah

Please believe I've been down this road
I need to transform like a diamond from coal
It's time to change the way I be
Now throw out all that trash, put it behind me (put it all behind me)

Please believe I've been down this road
I need to transform like a diamond from coal
It's time to change the way I be
Now throw out all that trash, put it behind me (put it all behind me)

Put it behind me, put it behind me
Put it behind me
Put it behind me, put it behind me
Put it behind me
