I almost lost my life

I'm trying to live until I'm old, keep seeing people die

Now every day writing all my wrongs prepared for when worse arrive

Focused on me and not my foes - that's why I went up and rised

Kept in some dark but found that glow, and never go question why

I lost some ones that kept me whole, now angels up in the sky

Trying to stay strong but feelin' low, this life really passing by

Can't let my heart turn fully cold, I'm keeping my circle tied

So if you not fake then ride

I dodged many flames, survived

Tears that I hide inside

Pain, but I stand with pride

Still loyalty over pride

Got sticks, no Taliban

Came up, no helping hand

They hate, I understand

Big dreams, no middleman

Masked up don't need no clan

Slide through in Sprinter vans

Big racks no Uncle Sam

Real ones gon' understand

I see them plotting far away but I be on the road

Told my pain inside the booth sometimes it never show

I got secrets in my past I really never told

Had to learn to lose it all before I found control

Talk to 'em, Tella-haha-you know how we do it, 3

Just trying to roll the dice

Lately my heart's been turning cold, hoping everybody fly

To a place that's far away, 'cause we be really on different times

Shoot for the stars while all they go and do is peep through the blinds

I played it right, they played it wrong, and didn't go peep the signs

They read the cover but they didn't see what was right inside

They'll bring that cutter if they ain't grab a piece of that money pie

But trust-I'll cut 'em if they try playing me, I ain't never lie

I still got them petrified
