Yo, ayo

Blood, sweat, and tears what I shed
sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining
I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way
now I gotta do this shit for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky
and I meant everything that I said
For my family, gotta build a legacy
I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard, I can't slip up
so I'm clutching tight on this lead
No, I ain't a killer, but don't push me
I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is, ain't no looking back
don't regret the things that I did, ayy

System got the hood fucked up, killers
crack fiends, and some Christians
Lil' nigga, all he know is bang
only sixteen, on a mission, ayy
Drug money, out there serving fiends
only time he show his ambition
Kid on the way, mama's bills late
gotta hustle hard, gotta get it
Block was slow so he have to rob
just to make 'em smile on Christmas
Caught a case, judge
ain't tryna hear all the things
influenced my decisions
Hate to follow rules, elementary school
all started off with suspensions
If it weren't for rapping, where would I be?
I just thank God that I'm gifted
Made it to the top and I stood up, first
I had to crawl in them trenches
We got hate in us, tryna murder somethin'
runnin' through the field, hoppin' fences
They left blood stains on our corner
gotta spin back with avengence
Glock discharge, it's a man down
real gang members handle business

Blood, sweat, and tears what I shed
sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining
I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way
now I gotta do this shit for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky
and I meant everything that I said
For my family, gotta build a legacy
I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard, I can't slip up
so I'm clutching tight on this lead
No, I ain't a killer, but don't push me
I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is, ain't no looking back
don't regret the things that I did

We some young niggas, we don't give a fuck
knock a nigga head right off
Bunch of hollow shells on that crime scene
it was Doa, white chalk
I know real killers, no remorse in 'em
proud of the bodies they caught
Went through a lot and I'm only twenty
it's a lot of things that I saw
Shit left me cold on the inside
feelin' like I need to unthaw
Was it to fill a void or acceptance?
Lookin' at the things that I bought
I still get depressed in my mansion
contemplating, deep in my thoughts
I'm just glad that I'm still standing
it's a lot of demons I fought
Voices in my head and that gun cocked
late night rides in all black
Really come from nothin'
I was on that block like the streets
all that I got
I done been snaked by my own kind
so who really watchin' my back?
Know they want me gone, one up top
I'm a dead man if I lack

Blood, sweat, and tears what I shed
sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining
I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way
now I gotta do this shit for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky
and I meant everything that I said
For my family, gotta build a legacy
I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard, I can't slip up
so I'm clutching tight on this lead
No, I ain't a killer, but don't push me
I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is, ain't no looking back
don't regret the things that I did, ayy
