Scary times
Please hold me close in these scary times
Don't say you love me and then change your mind
I need someone who understands
I'm just a man just a man
Chopper by the bed glizzy by the door
How you think I'm supposed to live
When only thing I see is war
Yesterday was on the 'Gram
I seen a baby on the floor
They said they hit him with a bomb
And that kid ain't with his mom
And I'm used to seein' death
'Cause I'm from Philly where niggas die
Where the blacks kill the blacks
And I can't even tell you why
I know niggas stuck in beef and
They can't even tell you how
If you strapped you go to jail
But if you ain't you gon' die
And yeah I cried on the news
When I had changed that law
And niggas still talkin' 'bout me
**** got changed for y'all
I been famous since eighteen
I ain't really change at all
Niggas getting me at
That **** might change your dog
I change my drawers then put
On my Glock when I wake up
Crazy part that **** just
Made my block really break up
I'm the motivation
I made niggas get their cake up
Caught niggas with their face down
And I made 'em put they face up
I been tryin' shine since Christina
Have had them Jacobs
Now it's Richard Millie when
She see me fix her makeup
Flyin' twelve hours I be in Ghana
When I wake up
Ain't no real niggas believe
That lyin' **** they made up
I stand on everything I said
Well I'ma stay up
Tryna take my homie out
The country 'cause he cased up
My other brother life inside
A cell they got him caged up
Eighteen years and ain't seen him since
They tryna break us
I'm ridin' through the trenches
Two hundred shots they tryna take us
I gotta make it home to Lil' Poppy
He got an A plus
I'm so poppin' they throwin'
Propaganda you better wake up
I'm just a man just a man
I'm just a
How you gon' tell me you love
Me and change your mind
I'm readin' everything
Wrote a book about all your lies
I'm peepin' everything
So who crooked that's in the squad
My homie lyin' to me while
He lookin' me in my eyes
Your ****
It kinda hurt me
But really wasn't surprised
When the blind lead the blind
It can really **** up your mind
And the time meet the time
You forty without a dime
And the only thing you
Own is a 40 and a little 9
So if he kill somethin'
That's the only way he gon' shine
I got a Richie he get sixty years
We both doin' real time
Only difference is I made it rappin'
Puttin' in real time
I still be talkin' pain ****
My people still dyin' still cryin'
It was crab in the barrel
Still climb
Niggas tried to put me down
When I got out still throw a line
Doin' too much for these people
Gettin' tough ain't gon' lie
Like I ain't had the city flyin'
Private real time
I had niggas at the clearport
That never been to the airport
Actin' like they got an attitude
**** is you here for
Go back to the hood and bite my back
What you there for
Broke boys hatin' on the king
Why would you care for
I'm here for
Everybody that was with me
When I had a bad storm
Everybody actin' like they with me
All this glass on
5 am in Philly ridin' 'round
I got my mask on
These times y'all pass on
Hatin' on your brother life
That's a bad jawn
I ain't seen my son in nights
That's a bad jawn
My homie in another life
That's a bad jawn
5 am in Philly ridin'
'Round I got my mask on
Scary times
Please hold me closely in these scary times
Don't tell me you love me and
Then try to change your mind
I need someone who understands
I'm just a man I'm just a man
I do the time
I do the time
