Lucky Me

How can you fairly assess something from the outside looking in?

There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong, know what I mean?

How can a motherfucker go around and hate a **** he never even met?

That he don't even know, shit

I think this rap shit is all beef

Y'all don't even know, every day I'm living with stress

Got up out up the streets, you think a **** could rest

Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless

I'm on the dance floor, hot-ass vest

You think I'm freaking these chicks right?

Trying not to brush against they chest

You get a lawsuit for shit like that

I feel trapped, swear to everything when I leave this Earth

It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirt

You could try me, fucker, but when I squeeze, it hurts, fine

We'll lose two lives, yours and mines

Gimme any amount of time, don't let Ms. Carter grieve

At the funeral parlor, dripping tears on my sleeve

Told the judge, didn't budge, it was him or me

And I ain't tryna be hard, but I'm guilty as charged

Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God

And pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars, lucky me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

I hate all girls with ulterior motives

That's why I'm twenty plus years old, no sons, no daughters

Hate putting my life in the hands of fake promoters

Hear the hate in my voice, right? I hate that you noticed

**** wanna strip you to the bone for shit you own

Hate a **** like that, faggot, get your own

Hate that I can't roam the street without the clip and chrome

Knowing one day I'ma have to flip, c'mon

You know the shit don't stop till the Cris' don't pop

And you have to kill a **** and your wrist don't lock

I'm trapped, the whole world's against me in fact

It ain't no turning back, bring it on

Hate the price of fame 'cause it cost too much

Can I live without y'all **** saying I floss too much?

Hate the way to make this hate flow, all through us

Steady looking for flaws through us, lucky me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

(Since I was 4 years old, I'd been told, everything that glitters ain't gold) You only know what you see

(And now that I've arrived, I see those truths unfold before my eyes in a world so cold) You don't understand what it takes to be me

A **** see you in the street, pretend to be friendly

But I know any type of success breeds envy

I know in the back of your mind, you're conjuring ways to end me

Leave my friends in a circle pouring out Henny

But G's is Heaven bound, so how I'm gon' receive

Anything y'all pour to the ground, next time, throw it up

And ain't nothing changed, so even in my afterlife, I show it up

Don't grieve for me, my art remains like a dart

From the speaker to your heart

Spiritually through the portal, now my words is immortal

Don't plan to leave without a fight, I plant a seed, I give life

Though I can't see past the girls greed to call her wife

And next time you're thinking heist, better be precise

'Cause I'm fully prepared, one of us is gon' leave here

I have no regrets even though I won't see grow

My godson Boogie, Sonny, and Remo, lucky me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me

You only know what you see

You don't understand what it takes to be me
