Don't

Lately nights, dirty money thoughts, no love lost

Came from the bottom where the lights don't shine

Mama stressing I was out of my fucking mind

Trust real thin, loyalty rare

Smile in your face, knife already there

I don't talk much, I observe shit

Everybody talk, say they hit that pressure switch

Bills on my back, hunger in my eyes

I ain't born cold, I was trained by the lies

They want favors, I want people

They want clout, I want keys

Say my name, better say it right

I don't bark, I don't fight, I'm more precise

Fuck apologies, I meant what I said

I survived places that fucked with your head

Still stand tall when my demons fend

Real ones alive, fake ones dead

I don't beg, I don't fold, I don't change

Got scars, but you still got faith

This life don't love you back

So I move like that

Same city, different lanes

And some pray for mercy, some pray for change

I learn quick how the system play

Smile for the camera, rob you blind backstage

Friends turn strangers when the money show

Family ask favors, I can't say no

I sleep like, back to the wall

Cause freedom fragile when you risk it all

Hustle, hurt slow, lost in a blink

Say too much, you'll fuck up the link

I don't explain shit twice

If you cross that line, that's your prize

Fuck apologies, I meant what I said

I survived places that fucked with your head

Still stand tall when my demons fend

Real ones alive, fake ones dead

I don't beg, I don't fold, I don't change

Got scars, but you still got faith

This life don't love you back

So I move like that

I seen angels fall for a taste of fame

Seen snakes pray loud in God's name

If I love you, that shit real

If I cut you off, that's how I heal

No crown, no throne, still a king

No handouts, earned everything
