Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it

[Verse 2]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it, yeah

[Verse 3]

I hurt so much in the last month

Live everyday like it's the last one

Can't trust nobody I've been betrayed

By everybody around

[Verse 4]

Cracking jokes, I don't laugh much

For help, I never could ask much

If down and out, I get passed up

No one there to be found

[Verse 5]

This life we know is like a rodeo

Up and down, emotional roller coaster

Problem solving ain't hard to cope with

But it's hard to follow rules, I'm the culprit

[Verse 6]

Teacher talking and it's hard to listen

But the goal I'm chasing ain't hard to picture

Hurt to see every car I wanted

But behind the wheel, I ain't the person in it

[Verse 7]

The chick I wanted wanted someone popular

And I ain't that popular

But now I'm so high, you gon' need binoculars

Now it ain't nothing, now the bitch on side of us

[Verse 8]

Bunk bed living, had to sleep on top of one another

Now there's nothing you could do for me

Made it from the bottom to the top, can't stop

My grind really out of my mind, true story

[Verse 9]

Lemme keep this shit one hunnid

I don't know your name, you don't know my name

And that's the way I want it

I'ma do my thing, ain't gotta explain

[Verse 10]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it

[Verse 11]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it

[Verse 12]

An ounce of pressure I underwent

Enough to make anyone consider normal clique

Flashing out, having arguments

I'm no longer in bounds

[Verse 13]

What meets the surface ain't all you get

Introverts can't be too talkative

At night, half my heart plays all of it

But usually, I wear frowns

[Verse 14]

Ain't no sense in me straight pretending

In a room full of people, I pays attention

Steak for dinner that we provided

Made money in the slum that the street provided

[Verse 15]

Behind my door, the clutch heat beside it

Out of line, I was taught let it eat somebody

Put the sleeper on silence on retreat from by me

If it ain't no profit, you should leave from buying it

[Verse 16]

Certain things about it won't change

The world ain't able to see 'bout that

My pants, they sagging below my waist

Pockets filled with Franks

[Verse 17]

Say I'm wilding out ways

Love the game, never back out

Cold but it's fair, and it's rare but it's cold

Sold not told **** trap out

[Verse 18]

Lemme keep this shit one hunnid

I don't know your name, you don't know my name

And that's the way I want it

I'ma do my thing, ain't gotta explain

[Verse 19]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it

[Verse 20]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it

[Verse 21]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it

[Verse 22]

I know there's a name

Gotta be a name for this shit

I just don't know what

Don't know what to call it
