Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ty Leone
Yo
[Verse 2]
You see the color of my skin, how could I fight fair?
The success just coming with more nightmares
They told me, "Fist up, chin tucked, you gotta fight the fear"
I use my mind for elevation, I don't like stairs
Told her I don't pipe bare
For all the nights where
We need protection, been neglected from my rights here
And I'm never any gyal type becah my type rare
Ain't no rushing this journey, can't take no flight there
I feel like Iron Mike here, I'm fighting with these hands bare
At times I had to bag the B up with my hands bare
Life gets real, I'm never at a standstill
'Cause if I stand still I'm targeted, it's that trill
More trauma in this dunya, I call it the sauna
My own relatives want to kill me, I need them to feel me
How can they feel me when I ain't found nothin' to heal me?
Street game filthy
Street gossip hissy
I see people change, baby **** wanna milk me
Third eye, have you seeing through your soul clearly?
They're gonna tell you slow down when at the right speed
I need another me, there ain't nobody like me
Not likely, movie like Spike Lee
I don't ever leave my drink to sit, she might spike me
Got a lot to lose, damn sure a lot to prove
But not to no fool, we be taking protocols
If I got something worth protecting, it come with protection
If we done did it, then we did it, no need for a mention
Got me lingering in spots that ain't got no reception
If she real for me, regardless I'll feel the connection
See her eyes roll, stroke game epileptic
Throat game, french kissed it
Got them tongue twisted, please never get it twisted
[Verse 3]
I been a lone wolf
Never need a gang to get it
I keep my self centered
Say I'm self-centered
Searching for repentance
Tryna get in each and every goal within these sixty seconds
Like count your blessings, better count your blessings
It's a real deep surface with hella wettings
Why would I need a wedding? I been married to this game
It was really her I wedded
Peter Parker, web it down, before I press it
Need more machines, more money, more leverage
One, two things goin' on, I can't dead it
They don't really wanna see you doin' good, they want you deaded
[Verse 4]
Didn't wanna sell it no more, didn't wanna sell it
I showed pity to the nitty when she cried for the medic
So what? I'm empathetic
I give out different kinda love, and I don't ever get it
Guess I'm a deep lover
Newham be the home borough
We don't follow no sucker
Rollin' with the close cutter
The hand I got is upper
I use my upper hand, let me land, let me land
Tryna build these rubber bands
Buy my mum some land
Brain bangin' flows start knockin' off the kufi
Patterns in my prints, but no my life was never Gucci
Down and out, vibin' out, listenin' to Toosie
[Verse 5]
Took it from the two block towers to the two-seats
Speak within the circle, we don't ever speak loosely
Bad Boy Biggie, squeeze life where it's juicy
