I was so hot-headed then, I'm a lot calmer though Tryna buy me a brick house when I get comma though Money gon' help with a lot of things but not the trauma though Had so many +Adventure Times+, we used to run from the Jakes To make it for Southside, we do whatever it takes It was apartheid when my barber parted my fade Cause now I'm pulled left and right by Keshia and Adrinae All this shit gets so deep, man I'm hopin' y'all dive in I don't fuck with survivin', I'm only thinkin' 'bout thrivin' But you way too afraid, yeah I know what your vibe is Always worried 'bout me, that shit must be sleep deprivin'... That shit must be sleep deprivin'... {*echoes*} [Chorus: DaVionne] I ain't never had nothin', yeah I had to work for it (yeah I had to work for it) Prayed to God every day, even went to church for it (even went to church for it yeah) Built from the ground up, played in the dirt for it (yea yeah) God told me it would work out, I took His word for it (yeah, oh-whoa yeah) We all come from a very different path Look at what we been through, look at where we at (look at where we at) Got 'em losin' sleep worried 'bout what we on ('bout what we on) Said I wouldn't make it but I always proved wrong, yeah [Omen] Yeah... Turned into a big deal but way realer than Black Friday They let a visionary vibrate Hoppin' through the Tri-State, I got this +Bird Box+ simply off a blind date Now I'm in a tryin' state Turned into a horror story, broke my heart to the point I had to find tape Sprayin' Lysol, sage just to wipe her away like "Eternal Sunshine" Pulled up in a drop spot like some summer times Seen you with some other guy, long story, summarize Writin' on the wall, got your message underlined I been gettin' high, summer crime ever since Wonder why ill intent was inside of your skin but damn Dookey braids, droopy eyes, it was groupie love Hurt feelings, no cap like bougie clubs Sat alone deep in silence Thinkin' 'bout you gettin' sleep deprivin', yeah [Chorus]
