Alone / EA6

I know that but being around... in that atmosphere and seeing how people move, you know, seeing how, how they make records,

you know, what kind of record they make...

I'm just like... I don't want this shit for myself and I don't ever want niggas to try to pull me into that.

'Cause I've been told a couple times like,

"Hey, do this shit man, do that..."

And I'm like man, I don't want, I don't that for me man.

And if I keep tellin' y'all I don't want that shit for me and y'all keep,

you know, tryna nudge and push...

I understand y'all got your vision and y'all got your formula but that shit don't work for me man.

I'm not gonna conform, I'm not settling for that shit.

'Cause if I do it once and it pop,

I'ma have to keep doing that shit over and over again.

You can't build no fanbase like that.

You... you become, you become, you become a fuckin' song instead of a person.

That shit... I'm not... I'm not tryna be that man.

Ummmm... migraines from overthinking

I'm tryna let go, I'm tryna let go

Let go of the past, man that shit been tryna creep up, up

Contemplatin' on if I'm really as strong as I thought, bitch I might be

Quick to pull me down but as much as I've seen, I can't fall, it's unlikely

Shit get a little twisted up

I put my troubles in the dirty then I mix it up

I'm bouta change my number

Like I haven't switched enough

This is home

And you ain't Zone 6 enough

Gone

I'm from East Atlanta Zone

If you ain't from it

Take your ass home

I let my heart talk, keep my mental strong

Speak the whole truth 'til my money long

Half of them don't even know your name.

don't want that, I want people to know who the fuck I am.

I want people to know what I stand for.

I want people to be personal and know,

This is 6LACK, this is what he believe in...

What we need to talk about

Get gone, get gone, yea yea

Got the past whispering in my ear

He flaw, she flaw, what's wrong?

I got troubles, and they won't leave me alone

It seems like everybody got something to say

Everybody got a look they tryna get off of their face

Everybody got an opinion

And I don't want one

Trying to tell me a better way to do some shit

That you ain't ever done

Sips drink in the booth

Black down to my shoes

Kick shit with my troops

Kicking shit, Ryu

You not with the shit why you

Front for those who don't matter

When they not thinking about you

If I learned anything

It would probably be to listen more than I talk

And don't brag about what I got

Just multiply what I brought

I never dwell on a loss

Never give a nigga sauce

He might run off with it all

Get gone get gone Yea yea

Got the past whispering in my ear

He flaw, she flaw, what's wrong?

I got troubles, and they won't leave me alone

Get gone get gone

Got the past whispering in my ear

He flaw, she flaw, what's wrong

I got troubles, and they won't leave me alone

On the record, off the record

Feel like I'm more of myself than I've ever been

Which is something you gotta come to face with

I thought I was fully myself 24/7

But nope, like right now is how I'm supposed to feel all the time

How I'm supposed to be all the time

How I'm supposed to think all the time

Now I know going out of this, leaving this

That will follow me. It doesn't end with this

I take it, I live with it every day

I see the people around me

I feel so much

I wanna put it in words

Try and figure where to go with it

But I just feel so much

I know they don't even feel as much as I feel

That's alright

That's alright

We have 2 different purposes

Clearly my purpose is some shit that's way fucking bigger than me

Then it gets completely quiet when im at the beach

I know I'm one person but I kinda feel like this ripple effect is gonna impact a lot of people

I feel God talking and when he talks everything else is silent

Summer 2011

Almost lost my faith in god

Same time I never prayed so hard

Took control of my life so I wouldn't have to take no job

Press play I couldn't take no pause

I'm from east Atlanta 6 they don't play that shit

In east Atlanta six you better make that lick

Or they be at your front door with that gun doe

Know them niggas Nick Cannon with the fucking drum roll

East side till a nigga die

Beast mode till a nigga cry

Sensei make a nigga fly

Shit hard but you gotta try

If I can do it, you can do it

Time to be a better guy

I found the answer ridin' down Candler

I'm late for court 'cause traffic on Moreland

I'm trying to preach to yall what's important

So hard for me to ignore ignorance

I don't know why I feel it's my place

I know you see the pain in my face

I call the shots and move at my pace

But I understand its all a big race

I understand you want that big face

They offer and hey

Its hard for me to say

I wouldn't bite the bait they threw me

Be cautious where you play

It's darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play

It's darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play

It's darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play

It's darkness in the A

A-Town stomp on the old me

Used to ride through the hood with the slow creep

People gon' love what they don't need

I remember what the OG's told me

You better shine bright when the lights down

Less talk, more show, nigga pipe down

'Cause words ain't shit but your thoughts out loud

And thoughts are the opposite of showin' nigga's how

Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A
