Lyrics

How can I be something I'm not?
I guess a broken soul
Don't make a happy home
If they cross me, then they dead to me, and they ain't even deceased
Running through these streets, and I can't even find no kind of peace
Stripes all on the whip, and I ain't even sign no kind of lease
Headed to the top, I need a harness 'cause the climb is steep
G6 take you round the world and you can make yourself comfortable
Never looked at **** with no envy, thinking, "That should be us"
You can never text again, or you can make a fuss
I'll just have more money if I'm lonely with a million bucks
Everything unfolding like a chapter in the children's book
From the window of the plane, I could tell the city crooked
I can see you in the spotlight, how you fucking it up
Couple pretty bitches I keep with me, that I never touch
How can I be something I'm not?
I know a broken soul
Don't make a happy home
Questioning myself like, "How can I be something I'm not?"
I grew from the mud like a plant in a pot
I popped like a Jack-In-The-Box
My stock went straight to the top
Got big rocks that make the temperature drop
Yellin', "RIP my pops"
Wishing I could press rewind, and get lil' Michael out that box
And it's fucking with my mind, but the grind don't never stop
Got me praying for sunshine all year
And I'm focused, so it's money everywhere
My whole night was based around paper chasin'
I'm going out to Cali, and it's like a vacation
Fuck a red light, I'm in a Hellcat racing
I know them blessings coming, but it's hard to stay patient
How can I be something I'm not?
I know a broken soul
Don't make a happy home
How can I be something I'm not?
Gaultiers, let me take you somewhere more appropriate
Purple haze, baby, we been rolling it and smoking it
Brighter days, I remember dreaming 'bout this shit
Yeah, tidal waves, I was on one when I wrote this shit
Dr. Dre, I'm tryna get me a billion, just like Dr. Dre
Not today, **** tryna stop me, got 'em out my way
Keeping it real, free of charge, but they had to pay
Keeping it G is free of charge, but they had to pay
Dirty sneaks, just from runnin' errands, had to throw 'em away
When I lay her down at night I pray to God, my soul to take
Thirty piece, time to put it up, it's time to up the stakes
20 pounds of money on me, I'm starting to think I'm overweight
My whole day was based around paper chasing
Take the duffle on the plane and disappear like baecation
A broken soul don't make a happy home
How can I be something I'm not?
How can I be someone who hides alone, yeah?
