So Lost / No Promises
Don't put your trust in them niggas, gotta watch your partners
Yeah (yeah)
Momma say, "watch the way you move, you gotta think smarter"
(Oh, oh, oh)
I tell her, "I'm a street nigga," she say, "you a artist"
Yeah
I try to run away from pain, I just can't afford it
All them damn memories still haunt me
I work too hard but I still see my dreams crumblin'
Will God forgive me if I take one with me when they come for me?
This ain't the life that we wanted
This just what they give
You always smile when it's stormin'
Hate it when it's clear
You be lookin' in the mirror, you see nothin'
You so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost
Ayy
Sometimes I just wanna get away, it gets stressful
They got all my birds in a cage, they got feathers
Hurt control a nigga, it's so strict
Pour my heart out every time, I can't miss
Why the fuck they ain't tell me money came with this?
Put my name in a song, I won't respond to a diss
I go to creep and I refuse to let them pussy rappers kill me
Do no call my phone, you gon' get the dial tone
You around because I'm on
And leave me when it's all gone
I sat in that jail so long
I sat in a cell alone, oh, I
Hold on, don't lose it
I know you've been through it
My life is a movie called "The Devil Recruitin'"
Welcome to my life, my life, my life, my life
Welcome to my life, my life, my life, my life
Don't put your trust in them niggas, gotta watch your partners
Yeah (yeah)
Momma say, "watch the way you move, you gotta think smarter"

You always smile when it's stormin'
Hate it when it's clear
You be lookin' in the mirror, you see nothin'
You so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost, so lost
Hold on, don't lose it
My life is a movie
My life is a movie called "The Devil Recruitin'"
You always smile when it's stormin'
Hate it when it's clear
God, I know I'm livin' wrong, I'm gon' get right with You
But I can't make no promises
But in the meantime police will take your lil' nigga
They on me, watch over me
My niggas still ride for me
They tell me, "keep shinin'," and shit
My niggas still slide for me
I pray that we get out this shit
Whatever you put, it's the same thing, you get out of this shit
The judge say I promote violence
I gave the streets knowledge and shit
I gotta keep my head up, can't be starin' at these shoe strings
I showed the world different, got everything I used to dream
I just made the bird call 'em, eagles comin' get y'all
I'm still mad 'bout all them times, I let them niggas get off
I'm just hopin' God protect me
Don't let my fans pull up too reckless
The way I'm livin', I might wet 'em
I committed sins, I lived for green, hell no, I don't regret 'em
Ain't cappin', I'm ballin', I miss my nigga Mega
Thinking 'bout my future, got love for Casino, that's my nigga
C-Lo died, that shit made me hit my knees a lil' quicker
You don't need your heart to live, nigga
You just need your pistol
Won't you to stay
Won't you to stay
God, I know I'm livin' wrong, I'm gon' get right with You
But I can't make no promises
But in the meantime police will take your lil' nigga
They on me, watch over me
My niggas still ride for me
They tell me, "keep shinin'," and shit
My niggas still slide for me
I pray that we get out this shit
I just made the bird call 'em, eagles comin' get y'all
I'm still mad 'bout all them times, I let them niggas get off
Ooh, ooh, ooh
