Pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me

Pray for me, somebody just pray for me

Somebody pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me

Somebody pray for me, need y'all to just pray for me

Now if it goes to the wire

I will never fall, I got the soul of a fighter

Walk barefoot over the coals through the fire

I thought the toll would be lighter

Make sure that blunt is rolled a little tighter

I tell 'em I'm just looking for some piece of mind

But they say I'm only working with a piece of mine

If I'm a do it it be on my own accord, no crutch

Swear to god I've never called upon the lord so much

Play the corner of the club, laughing at the wanna-bes

It's ironic cause they everything I wanna be

Would light a ton of reef

But that's gon' unleash

Everything I'm trying to hide underneath

Then I'd lose all I've earned

And if there's two things that I've learned

Is I'm the only thing at stake

And when you the only thing real

Really you the only thing fake

It must be time to escape from that

And fuck rhymes, might be time to escape from rap

Why should I be the only nigga to escape from the act?

So I lie since everybody just escapes from facts

Yo that sucka shit niggas be on I can't dig it

Joe – won't lose even if you plan to rig it

Yeah, nothing to prove, with no fear of how I'm depicted

I'm here, won't move, I don't care to be evicted

You don't like how I move?

Well I ain't gonna keep still

Any nigga want me killed

Wanna leave me in the streets peeled

Well if it happens it happens, I believe in free will

Just know that ain't how we built

I'll call niggas that'll dead you for a cheap thrill

When the clips empty, they gonna try to refill

And I'm a be the dude to try and stop 'em like, "please chill."

Y'all know all I'm about

They keep putting up roadblocks

I keep finding alternate routes

Now success seems likely everybody wanna try me

I'm all for it, can't trip me up

I won't fall for it

I'm just a man without a care

Neighbor to heartache, roommate with despair

Reminded my past is darker

Cause when A.M. died I was staring at Travis Barker

Wishing it was something I could say to make him cheer up

And so I prayed – he teared up

I ain't wanna see him go through that

The same shit that I feel, never showed you that

Cause it's none of nobody's business

And it just makes you look weaker

Every joke is just smoke

Look deeper, nevermind, don't bother

Some of y'all smarter

Enough ain't got sense that if you try harder

You'll get a glimpse of everything that I harbor

We all ain't got the strength to be a martyr

So to everyone who ever loved me:

I apologize and I'm sorry

Wholeheartedly, can't change it's just part of me

Not music, shit's art to me

Too fucked up to drive, here's the car keys

I don't care where we go, get it far from me

Choices I don't wanna make

I know I have to

Worlds going faster

So my ride or die chose the latter

I'm looking for a rush out of habit

Truth is, there is such thing as too much for a addict

Ain't the nigga I'm belittled as, riddle that, nigga come from middle class

If you speak to me, show a little class

Dropped out of school, a nigga couldn't sit through class

Learned to fall asleep through the sound of a pistol's blast

I come from where dad taught mom to get high

She's strong so we still got by

When I picked up the drug why the fuck was they surprised?

If it wasn't for your genes I wouldn't lust the supply

I come from a whole hood, telling me that I'm next

Handed me a mag, must've known that I was Complex

They say that you a wild individual

You just not getting my style, you too typical

Now everybody got a word for me

Shit y'all deem important ain't pertinent to me

Put your opinion with a feather, balance that

Grab medicine, when the success and the talent match

Now pray for them
