Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just bought a crib
On top of the hill
And I bought a brand new ride
Am I keeping it real?
There's nothing wrong
If you got it
I'm not living in fear
Just being honest
[Verse 2]
'Cause there's no more living in fear
No more living in fear
If we don't talk about it
I know we gonna get it right, yeah
I do what I like
[Verse 3]
I don't need your co-sign
Cause I'm young enough and old enough, both at the same time
Hey don't trip on my aggression baby
'Cause I can go in many directions, baby
I'm just trying to live my life
Doing my best and that's alright
Yes, I'm comfortable and that's what's tight
[Verse 4]
Just moved out the hood
Doesn't mean I'm doing good
Wanna post this on the 'Gram but don't think I should
Is it just me or am I paranoid?
Gotta keep it on the low 'cause I've been robbed before
Sometimes I wanna say that I'm blessed
Black man's grind gon' answer the test
Ahh, the box you try to throw me in don't fit me no more, no
Creative spirit talkin', creative spirit walkin'
[Verse 5]
I ain't trying to hurt nobody, nobody
[Verse 6]
There's no more living in fear
No more living in fear
If we don't talk about it
Ooh yeah, you know I got the fight in me
I'm just doin' what I like, I don't need your co-sign
'Cause I'm young enough and old enough, both at the same time, yeah
[Verse 7]
I-I-I don't trip on my aggression, baby
And I can go in many directions, baby
I'm just trying to live my life
I'm just trying to do what's right
