Realize

I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
Puttin' in trust might get ugly, never true, they all lie

I'm gettin' used to it
Claim that they fuck with you, but they not
They just come around and see how you do it
It ain't nothin' 'til they comin' up
Niggas hatin' mines, wantin' me out of Baton Rouge
I can't leave, I got love for my hood, I been feelin' misunderstood
And, if I fall, who can I call on? Call on?
And, I can't even call my dawg phone 'cause his soul gone
Can't even charge it to the game, all I can say is, "Live long"
Try to do right, no matter what, they still gon' say I'm dead wrong
Read Bible scriptures with my niggas, you'll still'll get your head blown
Dealin' with my success, they know I'm next, I'm tryna head on
Ain't been the same ever since unc' got stretched, I been feelin' all alone
Plus, they say I'm blessed, like, where it's at?
Bro still totin' on that chrome
Want to make it in life? Better sacrifice, even the ones you love
Gotta pay the price to live right, even for a thug
I remember takin' baths with no hot water in the tub
Washin' my clothes up in the sink, still see stains if you ain't scrub
And all the demons make me grind harder, and think smarter
Had to get my life in order
Still argue with my real father
Wasn't there for me, all he do is bother
Gotta be there for my sons, take care of moms and my little sister daughter
I done gave away some tears, I can't get back, I made rappin' a starter

I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
Puttin' in trust might get ugly, never true, they all lie
I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
Puttin' in trust might get ugly, never true, they all lie

Imagine bein' the oldest in the crib, teachin' yo' siblings how to live
I ran the streets out with my peers, if I knew that no love was here
Look at my daughter in the face was just like lookin' in the mirror
Your father made a lot of sacrifices just to get us here
My mama died when I was eleven, what the fuck I was 'posed to do?
My granny raised me, thirteen years later, then I lose her too
The only time I paint a picture is when I'm rappin' in the booth
When you speak less and learn to listen, that's when you gon' get the truth
I toss and turn and I try make it right
Turnin' darkness into light
We not promised second chances, we only got one life
'Member all the bullshit, you can see it in my eyes
Against the odds we survived, we at more, don't never die

I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
Puttin' in trust might get ugly, never true, they all lie
I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
Puttin' in trust might get ugly, never true, they all lie

Came up as a bad child, easy tempt for ready to crash out
Was seventeen, runnin' down on Shell, I had my mask off
My mama call, I just spark that bitch and take the tag off
Youngin' five up, but he don't talk, say it ain't nothin' to brag 'bout
Lost my brother and my grandma in the same year
They say that they ain't scared of death, they lyin', all them niggas fear
Don't know why they depend on me, they actin' like I got 'em here
That nigga ain't no friend of me, he a snake, might have to get him killed (might have to get him killed)
Won't run from nothin', I'm shootin' on sight (on sight)
Modified glizzy, got a switch, it came with a sight
He watched his brother beat on side him ever since it been right
Ain't watch the rearview, he was slippin' and got caught at the light

I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
Puttin' in trust might get ugly, never true, they all lie
I cope through the mic when I ain't feelin' alright
Feel like my heart gettin' cold, done put my feelings on ice
Startin' to see they don't love me, that's just somethin' I realized
