By My Side

Keep that Nina by my side because I ain't trying to die young
If I done made it this far then I got to keep it strong
Many said they'd be by my side but they nowhere to be found yeah
But they nowhere to be found yeah

Got some niggas toting on that Glock, they want to take me out
If you done made it this far then really ain't no tapping out
Mama wasn't around so she never showed me how to love
Dad wasn't around and he never showed me how to be a man
Learning through trials and tribulations that's my testimony
Eating that bologna in that cell I can't make this up
Say it as it is and as it ain't everyone gotta take account
Crucify in they head so when they talk, they words do hold amount
And I'll do it as a man if time comes, I'll face the consequences
Pros and cons in avenues of life that's why they build they fences
Guarding up avoid being open because that comes with big expenses
And I'll say it again at times it's hard to quench the thirst for vengeance

Back on the road, we done made it far got some people back home
They want me back home, they need me back home
They want me back home now, now now
Keep it by my side, side
I ain't want to die young, young
So I keep it by my side, side
I ain't trying to go, go go

Keeping it too real, could give a fuck about your pride or your ego what's the deal?
Don't tell me to chill, I don't waste time to chill
Just like they don't waste time to drill
Fuck around you get killed
That's the code of the streets and it's cold, cold cold
If you die in the streets they leave you cold, cold cold
Left my heart on cold and now it's froze, froze froze
They tried to play on my name but I said no, no no
But it's ok though
God know my heart so whichever way it go I'll find peace because I tried bro
Up and down this road with motherfuckers who ain't really down to ride though
And sometimes holding on hurts more you gotta let it go
Actions gon show what the mind already know
And I don't be disappointed I be knowing how it's bound to go
And I don't be really tripping I just get to the bag and go
Mind of a warrior train my demons make it happen
They tried to break me down, they ain't know I'm something like Samson
I know they want to see me down yeah
So I keep my Nina around yeah
They stay hating from the town yeah
But I ain't tripping about no clowns

Keep that Nina by my side because I ain't trying to die young
If I done made it this far then I got to keep it strong
Many said they'd be by my side but they nowhere to be found
(Yeah they nowhere to be found)
But they nowhere to be found because I keep it on me now
(Yeah I keep it on me now)
Yeah I keep it on me now (Yeah I keep it on me now)
Yeah I keep it on me now (I said I keep it on me now)
And if you run up you gon die (If you run up you gon die)
