Hey McNab hey McNab
These n***as thinkin' I ain't street but they don't know for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro for real
And they say time heal your grief well why I'm hurtin' still
I seen my mama stressed all day how we gon' pay the bills
It's only cold water in the sinks I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leaning all on me but I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a ******* cat
But for my family that's alright I'm doin' anything
It's to the point where I feel bad for buyin' any bling
I just got rich so I'm a sucker for the finer things
This Prada shirt and my new kicks with these designer jeans
Is it weird that I miss the struggle
'Cause when you get the win it's like the feelin' double
And there's more appreciating 'til the feeling crumble
But I've been winnin' way too much so now the feeling subtle
So every time I lose once I gotta win a couple
I stay a step ahead
I be busy don't judge me if you get left on read
They say the bike ride to the top is not acceptin' pigs
So if you can't ride with me I hope you understand
These n***as thinkin' I ain't street but they don't know for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro for real
And they say time heal your grief well why I'm hurtin' still
I seen my mama stressed all day how we gon' pay the bills
It's only cold water in the sinks I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leaning all on me but I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a ******* cat
2019 I was on Perky pills
I was on Perky pills
All that pain I was feeling I ain't wanna feel
I ain't wanna feel
Taking care of everybody how I was supposed to heal
Like how I was supposed to heal
I was more way peaceful 'fore I even signed a deal
'Fore I signed a deal
Lost some n***as in the field hope they get appeals
Hope they get appeals
Lost G know it hurt my soul **** ain't feel real
Life was comin' at me fast Jesus take the wheel
Jesus take the wheel
No power steerin' in my life the wrong road kills
Can you pray for me
I need a shoulder to lean on
Need a shoulder to lean on
Music therapy I get in the booth I just sing on
I just sing on
If you feelin' what I'm feelin' you welcome to sing along
Nobody there for me but they call on me like ringtones yeah
Ayy oh woah
These n***as thinkin' I ain't street but they don't know for real
Ayy oh woah
I'm only who I am today because my bro for real
And they say time heal your grief well why I'm hurtin' still
I seen my mama stressed all day how we gon' pay the bills
It's only cold water in the sinks I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leaning all on me but I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a ******* cat
It's just like lately I've been turnin' up
Was in the trenches daily faded steady burnin' up
I never thought that we'd make it and that hurt was stuck
But still grindin' every day like I ain't earn enough
Like I ain't earn enough
And I still keep the steel
Really stood on ten you better not question if I'm street for real
Lil' bro gon' let it blow know how we steppin' that's an easy kill
Foenem spinnin' blocks they love them Glocks they say we need to chill
It's like they need to drill uh
Wonder would I still love the money if I ain't have fame
Say she love me don't know her first or her last name
I barely made it out this just how far my past came
That Richard Mille on my wrist now look how times changed
These n***as thinkin' I ain't street but they don't know for real
I'm only who I am today because my bro for real
And they say time heal your grief well why I'm hurtin' still
I seen my mama stressed all day how we gon' pay the bills
It's only cold water in the sinks I couldn't take no bath
You ever had to boil some water just to wash your back
My family leaning all on me but I don't sip no Act'
I'm out here taking care of nine lives like I'm a ******* cat
