Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is why I do this shit
I think they call this, um, venting, huh
Yeah
Look
Uh
[Verse 2]
This is me
Still the same
They want the hits
I play the game
No auto tune
But you can feel the pain
It all comes spillin' out like I hit a vein
What up LIl' Bro
What up Slumville
I hope you know that y'all the reason I have fun still
And fans thinkin' that we all signed for one mill
Equal opportunity rappin', that shit is unreal
That ain't how it works
That ain't how it goes
And I been getting high just to balance out the lows
And I could use a writer just to balance out my flows
But I'd never share my thoughts
This is all a **** knows
And every time I try
It opens up my eyes
These verses are a chance to be remembered and reprised
And I will be performing this as long as I'm alive
So every word I utter will be mine
[Verse 3]
Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feelin' isn't new
So please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me, oh no, no-no, no, yeah
[Verse 4]
Don't take this the wrong way, but uh
I never cried when Pac died
But I probably will when Hov does
And if my tears hold value
Then I will drop one
For every single thing he showed us
And I'll be standing in a puddle
I stay away from **** that could land me in some trouble
And I'ma keep it honest, I'm so tired of bein' subtle
It's just me, Forty-O and Nik standin' in a huddle
Staring at the members of my team
Who get questioned 'bout they profit
From this million dollar scheme
Just know that I'm in debt for you
Defendin' all our dreams
I hope you tell your families this shit ain't what it seems
But y'all the reason for a lotta my devotion
You know I spend money
Because spendin' time is hopeless
And know I pop bottles 'cause I bottle my emotions
At least I put it all in the open
[Verse 5]
Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feelin' isn't new
So please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me, oh no, no-no, no, yeah
[Verse 6]
Yeah
Uh
Look
Fuck all y'all
We ignore feelings here
Premature millionaires
Welcome to my realest year
Yeah
I swear that we makin' a killin' here
I should be on top of the world, just chillin' here, uh
But it's funny having fans
Who find you before anybody ever has the chance
And build you up so you could be the biggest in the game
And realize when you're there
Sometimes the shit don't feel the same
Yeah, and plus things are just so real at home
People think I changed, just 'cause my appeal has grown
And now security follow me everywhere
So I never actually am alone
I just always feel alone
I think I'm scared of what the future holds
I was wishin' for some things
And now I'm used to those
Every girl I meet thinks I'm fuckin' groupie hos
The honesty in my music has left me too exposed
All my old friends think I got a new crowd
And people seem to notice every time I do smile
I guess that mean they come few and far between
Even though I'm livin' out what you would call the dream
Yeah, and my uncle ain't even messagin' me
And him missin' in my life is kinda messin' with me
I hope this isn't one of those forever things
It's funny how money can change everything
[Verse 7]
Don't believe the lies
Look me in my eyes
Please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me
I remember you
This feelin' isn't new
So please don't be scared of me
Please don't be scared of me, oh no, no-no, no, yeah
