Check this [Verse 2] I'm a victim of society circumstance or just feelings was a nigga victimized or just willing no blinds, no bags, just dealing no foundation or floor plan, just building check it, nights bright but the day's dark covered in tattoo's, but hate art these egg shell's I walk on are razor sharp staring at the finish line, looking for a way to start I've been called everything, an extremist is that a bad thing or what they really mean is anything a nigga do, a nigga mean it and I won't let a person place a thing come between it an opportunist is how they paint me but if the nigga only knock once can you blame me still I feel like my problems are great shit if I don't ever solve em I'm straight on the bright side, God chose me to put a lot on my plate so I figured I wouldn't be bothered by the weight I'm trying to change the pattern but it's on loop even an outcast in my own group what's it mean when everybody standing next to you expects of you everything that comes with a spectacle if everywhere I go I just leave behind residue tell me, trust me, I won't think nothing less of you [Chorus] I'm sorry I ain't around more come up with me or stay on the ground floor I don't need shelter from the downpour Y'all could be whatever you want, just not my downfall they tryna make me slow, tryna take me, NO! can't be my downfall they tryna knock my grind I won't stop, I'm fine Can't be my downfall [Verse 3] No moment of clarity the next fight showing is a rarity severity of me against my growing popularity rappers won't rap, I'm forced to believe they scared of me but can no longer use the escape goat they not aware of me so y'all can go and throw your little pot shots some dudes dissed me and temporarily got hot I'm getting my head right recollected Y'all looking for some website resurrection being that I got too much to lose or maybe a slight chance that a nigga guilty of all that I'm accused no longer amused affected my loved ones, now they starting to bruise and I don't want no parts of that abuse wouldn't wish it upon my worst foe a day in my shoes that'll just eliminate any excuse and why entertain em old me would' a lost my sense's y'all just helping the new me regain em been punched in the face, it was either feed my family or hunt with a .38 and I ain't want brunch to wait I've outgrown hip hop turned into a day care so next time so shit is on my mind, it'll stay there I'm staring at the man in the mirror but it ain't helping see the man any clearer so I get MIA from around y'all till God stops answering these prayers for my downfall [Chorus] [Verse 4] Tell me what am I to do if I ain't have a soul a nigga always had you pardon Dude, but I gotta speak candidly How the FUCK!!! could you abandon me with 5 years of blood sweat and tears but there was obviously a disconnect we turned that into a disrespect said she been holding it inside for years, she's unhappy so the girl I wanna marry was afraid to come and tap me so I went away on tour and you went on one of your own and while you was on the horn all day, with old boy did you ever think about what it would do to your home what's his name, where's he live what is it he offers? what's he got to give? and I love you so much that when I caught onto your fibs I hit you like a man, you wore it in your ribs I was heated, but had to be strong enough to remove the infidelity and see what's underneath it come to find out you felt lied to and cheated mistreated and kept it a big secret or are you just loose and I'm so naive I'm tryna give you an excuse now that I refuse to believe we life partners, holy water on whatever devil comes and try to part us can't use anything I ever gave you to bury me you supposed to be the one that bury me you want to leave than goodbye think the grass look greener on the other side but it's dye [Chorus]
