Lyrics
[Intro]
Simo Fre just killed it
[Verse 1]
I would say it is, but it ain't easy bein' me
Tried to tell the lil' ones chill, it's more to life for them to see
Armed and dangerous, if they came to kill
Then I'd rather you than me
Shawty, what you see is what you get and that's all I can be
And I hope you know I'm dyin' 'bout that paper
If my brother owe me a favor, that mean you dyin' for the free
Save your time, don't waste it all on me
Right now your life on the line, you better make your mind up
[Chorus]
I'm tryna go so far away till they can't find us
Pressure make diamonds and bust pipes, ****
If come slidin' on us
Be ready to bust back, ****
I've been up late nights, ****
Don't take an early mornin' flight with me
We don't never gotta land, that's if you don't want to
Only put up with your bullshit because I wanted you
I told her, "Nowhere fast," when she asked me where I'm goin' to
[Verse 2]
No, I'm not ignorin' y'all
But my life get annoyin' too
Loved this rap shit since the first time
But now it's gettin' borin'
Every day I wake, another state
Bitch, I've been tourin'
Bitch had a flight and I tell her, "Be on the way"
When I get horny
Fuck you till the mornin', shit, I ain't even done yet
On the balcony, watch the sunrise
She say she ain't never done that
They dropped me off in the rain
I made it back and that's a fun fact
I'm 'bout to hit the road and go to Jack'
Wait, where my gun at?
[Verse 3]
I done made it out, uh
I done made it out
I done made it out that hell hole and I ain't goin' back
I go through real pain when I do them shows, but I ain't showin' that
Ain't no real name for them hoes
So it's whoever I'm goin' by at the time
Love gotta be blind
'Cause every time you come around, I close my eyes
I know you ain't perfect and neither am I
But I try
So I'm just tryna decide
Do I wanna pay for the life or let 'em survive?
Should I continue to be stubborn
Or do I swallow my pride?
God give his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers
And they ain't lyin'
But I'm tired
I sit alone in the dark, just lookin' for some peace and quiet
They say home ain't that far
So I'ma pass right by
You forget who you are, just take a look at the sky
You a star, blessin' in disguise
But who am I?
[Chorus]
I'm tryna go so far away till they can't find us
Pressure make diamonds and bust pipes, ****
If come slidin' on us
Be ready to bust back, ****
I've been up late nights, ****
Don't take an early mornin' flight with me
We don't never gotta land, that's if you don't want to
Only put up with your bullshit because I wanted you
I told her, "Nowhere fast," when she asked me where I'm goin' to
[Verse 4]
I was never sworn in
This some shit I was born into
How come you leave me here? Thought I was goin' with you
Tried to tell 'em so many times, but they ain't listen
I was givin' 'em game, they ain't even much use it
I'ma stay in my lane, just in case it get confusin'
I'm makin' gold out of pain
Shit way deeper than music
By DGT, I need a brain, but I'm tryin' not to lose it
Gotta keep from goin' insane
