I'm tryna run the money like it's a steep hill
Sort out a full plate just to get a refill yeah
I'm always turnin' the other cheek but
I don't know how many more of those
I got left in me yeah
I'm starvin' for it and it's got me tweakin' yeah
Thoughts of lettin' up they're steady creeping
I'm bleeding focus the dread is hella potent
Need to know that some people's burdens
Just ain't worth the heavy lifting yeah
Careful who you steady role with
Who you kick it with
Who you tryna chase it with and split it with
They could be down for the moment
But soon as it gets lit
You're the only one
Tryna extinguish things
Don't just be thinking they be wit it bruh
Don't just be thinking they be wit it cuz
If they ain't being genuine
Hit em with that deuce
Hit em with that (Deuce)
The death of you could be your troop
Don't get it confused
If they moving
If they moving shaky man
You gotta cut em lose
It's okay to have to lose them
Cuz in the end you're the one
That's gon' end up with the bruises. (Oh no)
If they ain't being genuine
Hit em with that deuce
Hit em with that (Deuce)
The death of you could be your troop
Don't get it confused
If they moving
If they moving shaky man
You gotta cut em lose
It's okay to have to lose them
Cuz in the end you're the one
That's gon' end up with the bruises. (Oh no)
What they say again
But we move
It be like that sometimes
I solve an enigma just to get to a maze
Finesse the maze clear the mist
Just to get lost in a daze
I blaze through the gauntlet
With an adamant haste just to have Treacherous daggers go disrupting the pace
The way in which I was raised
Alluded to leaning on pillars
That's similar to my own DNA
Who's to say (Sheesh)
But then again who's to say
That at the end of the day
Even the resemblance tends to clown you
Said even the thickest blood
Tends to drown you
It's heavy like kilos
The weight pounds down on you
(It be your own people)
That's cold facts like polar polar
Bearing wolves disguised as sheep
Cuz they claim they're homies
Tolerating them on some
Nah but my hittas know me
They hold me down
It's a shame it's in the literal sense
Their greatest fear is you being your best
The thought messes with them
Your greatest potential is a menace to them
Their main concern is
Keeping you on the bench
Tryna dull your shine cuz
They know you's a gem
Hiding behind false statements like
yeah no offense
Complementing you yet
Their jaws be so clenched
Once you catch their eye man
All they just be seeing is red
(It's crazy)
They're hopin' that you stumble
Every single time you takin' step
That's why you gotta be
Careful who you steady role with
Who you kick it with
Who you tryna chase it with and split it with
They could be down for the moment
But soon as it gets lit, you're the only one
tryna extinguish things
Don't just be thinkin' they be wit it bruh
Don't just be thinkin' they be wit it cuz
If they ain't being genuine
Hit em with that deuce
Hit em with that (Deuce)
The death of you could be your troop
Don't get it confused
if they movin'
If they movin' shaky man
You gotta cut em lose
It's okay to have to lose them
Cuz in the end you're the one
That's gon' end up with the bruises (Oh no)
