Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

(Blackedy, you're a rapper now?)
Uh
Holdin' my tears 'cause I can't cry
I'm stronger than that
All I really needed is some peace of mind
Like how much longer for that
I've been hidin' my feelings for too long
Nigga it's time I needa let 'em go
If I feel like you fake I'm cutting you off
Don't even gotta let you know
I don't care anymore I'm cuttin' ties
'Cause nobody is holding me down
I just get in my [?]
If ain't nobody just around
Talkin' life when I put it in paper
Just hopin' you really listen to my sound
I remember them days I would trap them songs
And hella niggas used to clown
I don't talk to nobody just live my life and go
'Cause karma is a b
I don't wanna ask you for a 4
I'm never so I'm scared of shit I receive
I'm just livin' my life and try my best
Try to be the best I could be
Tryn'a better myself not doing this shit for you
Doing this for me
I just talked to my mom
She said that I'm gonna be straight if I stick to the plan
All them niggas who did me wrong I wanna get it back
But that's not who I am
Had to cut hella niggas off
Don't fuck with nobody you're not in the fam
All these problems are fishing the hard in me
My nigga gotta be a man
Been' losin' a lot of love and trust
But lately I haven't been carrying tho
Been' going through a lot of shit that I really don't feel like sharing though
I gotta just get in my bag and make sure I'm straight
Gotta save my mans from me
Niggas steady tryn'a take food off your plate
I got stabbed in the back
From people I like
From people I hate
From people I love
I put all my trust in the Man Above
I'm loving tact my heart in the glove
Tryn'a just stay away from negativity
But this shit keep comin' right back to me
Tryn'a keep my composure
But I'm dealin' with so much shit
As I get older
As I get older
My trust gettin' lower and lower that shit really runnin' out
My heart in a box I don't know when it's coming out
When it's coming out
I've been really trying to stick up close but I got so much shit goin' on in my life
And it's like damn my nigga how do I- how do I keep my head on a [?] on the straight path
I gotta do like [?]
I don't talk to nobody just live my life and go
'Cause karma is a b
I don't wanna ask you for a 4
I'm never so I'm scared of shit I receive
I'm just livin' my life and try my best
Try to be the best I could be
Tryn'a better myself not doing this shit for you
Doing this for me
I just talked to my mom
She said that I'm gonna be straight if I stick to the plan
All them niggas who did me wrong I wanna get it back
But that's not who I am
Had to cut hella niggas off
Don't fuck with nobody you're not in the fam
All these problems are fishing the hard in me
My nigga gotta be a man
