Don’t Want to be Me

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

It was hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

It be hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

It was hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

It be hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

It was hard just to make it

Real shit, I ain't sayin' no fake shit

Grew up 78th, Grandma basement

Then we moved to Parkway, it was gated

I'm like, "Damn, where we stayin'?"

First night, gunshots, they ain't playin'

Had to sleep on the floor, we was on the first floor

"Boy, stay away from that window"

See, this where it started

Three floors, eight floors, them apartments

Section 8, baby mamas and toddlers

Killers, rapers, and robbers

See, I adapt to that shit though

I had to fight every day, I was still new

They ain't know me, we ain't go to the same school

Probably mad 'cause I always had on new shoes

See, that's what that crack do

Stepdad sellin' drugs in the trap too

Used to have his own place in the house too

Grandma used to say he was bad news, huh?

Fuck that, I'm in high school

Hyde Park, food fights in the lunch room

Got jumped on the bus one time too

Same day Joey came up to the school

Then shots got to ringin'

Caught Joey in the act, Gucci leaked him

He got hit in the side, but he breathin'

Police right there, he was tweakin'

But this how it started

You don't wanna me be, I'm retarded

Locked up, sixteen, for a robbery

Mama, come see me, I'm sorry, please

You don't wanna be me

All the shit I done done in the streets

All the shit I done lost, I done turned myself a boss

Can't believe I lost LilBossTee, damn

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

It was hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

It be hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

Now life got different

I done did my time, I'm chillin'

2012, if you wanna be specific

I lost O and Patoon, that killed me

See, that's changin' the plans now

All that shit I said in jail ain't the plan now

Gotta get my hands done and pull that mask out

Get caught by King Von when you assed out

See, I'm tweakin' again

Lost Sherrod, I can't see him again

Now I'm back out skiin' again

I mean slide, ain't no motherfucking hot, no

.9s, .40s, extensions

Keep it movin' if you not the victim

Mind your business, we don't need no witness

Heard you got you a son, better kiss him

'Cause shit get crazy

He get caught and he say that you made him

Bullet holes in his mouth, straight face 'em

All the thoughts in his head, just erase 'em

Now back to the basics

Bank book, eight months, that's crazy

Four-five Glock on me, no safety

Police hopped out, then chased me

I got caught, I was tweakin'

Back in jail with a celly, he stinkin'

Tryna tell me, "Fuck them hoes, they freakin'

God put you back in here for a reason"

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

You don't wanna be me

Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me

It was hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

It be hard in the streets

Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

Back at it again

Took some time, now I'm back out the pen

Lost my brothers L'A and J-Money

House arrest and I'm totin' the Sig

Yeah, I'm on the band

Spin that block if you miss him again

Run up, hit his chest and his head

Roll 'em up, now we smokin' the dead

See, '14 was bussin'

Leave him there, don't touch him, he gushin'

He was tough, he got shot, he pussy

Ambulance couldn't make it, he cushy, damn

Now I'm back on my dummy

Investigation room, this is not funny

I'm not hungry, you keep your baloney

Let me out 'cause they ain't got shit on me

Now me and Bernie slide

Got a bitch in the car, she just drivin'

We hopped out, we was blastin' and wildin'

Guns so loud we ain't hearin' the sirens

But twelve of 'em was comin'

We can't talk, no time for discussion

Took a case, man, that bitch was one hunnid

Until she fuck on the opp, now she nothing, damn

You don't wanna be me

I never been frontin'

All the shit I did in the streets

****, I probably can't get no peace

Can't even go to sleep

'Cause a **** put his ass to sleep

Huh? Lil' ****, you don't wanna be me
