Remember the days when I thought I was trapped Lost all my money, then I got it back All my potential was really untapped I had to push all my shit to the max Now it's a wrap, took off some time to relax Now I'm feelin' blacker than black Know they can't tussle with us If I say it's up, then it's up I don't give no damn and no fuck
Cruisin' down twenty in the all-black truck (what?) Tryin' not to push my luck (what?) God got a nigga on tuck (what?) But ain't no tellin' what's up (hey) Devil got a funny way of showin' his face I don't trip, even when I'm untied, I lace I peeped that these niggas tryna vibe my way Still on shore, tryna ride my wave
Crazy, I'm gon' make 'em hate me That music, it saved me, I'm feelin' like Jay-Z 'Cause I had a hard knock life, now a nigga in the spotlight I bet you a nigga won't try I promise somebody gon' die today (woo) That is not a threat (woo) , we gon' cash a check (woo) 2023 be the year of the family, dawg (family, dawg) I'm only kickin' shit with people that understand me, dawg (understand me, dawg) But they do not know what this shit really takes Since 2016, I ain't take a break More money you make, the higher the stakes Slow up the pace, this shit ain't a race
I had to talk to somebody on the outside Just to tell 'em how a nigga feel inside (I had to talk, I had to talk, ayy, ayy) I had to talk to somebody on the outside Gettin' rid of my pride (Wait, wait, wait, ayy, wait, wait, ayy)
I had to get out my own way, yeah, say that (say that) Drownin' in thoughts, was stuck in the dark Finally got my place back (my place back) I be feelin' too much, do I need a shrink? Slowin' me up, do I need a drink? Or I need to think? (Ayy) Yeah, I need to think (ayy, yeah) I can't just rely on the darkest of times (times) It's always the prime, it's all in my mind (mind) I'm gettin' it out and I'm hopin' to find some peace (peace) I'm learnin' the lessons and readin' the signs at least (signs) If you gotta talk then this is your time release (time)
Cruisin' down twenty in the all-black truck (what?) Tryin' not to push my luck (what?) God got a nigga on tuck (what?) But ain't no tellin' what's up (hey) Devil got a funny way of showin' his face I don't slip, even on thin ice I skate I peeped that these niggas tryna vibe my way Still on shore, tryna ride my wave
