Lyrics

, i give you my all, but it seems like that's not enough, letting you get more of me, so while the world keep on changing, the one thing remaining is, i keep letting you get more of me, my story, my pain, can't ail it, my tears overflowed, you can't pail it, my talent, to immense can't jail it, niggas tried to cross the god, but they ain't nail it, my path, my walkway, you can't trail it, my ladder, my mountain, can't scale it, it's my life, my struggles, can't help it, i'm just grateful that he kept me alive for me to tell it, check it, see the music industry changed me, it was everything that i'd have never guessed it was, so my discography is all full of hand-me-downs, i couldn't figure out another way to dress it up, so every verse fight with the truth, nah, no one know me better than this mic and this booth, it's no better way, i owe my todays to my yesterdays, you live with regrets, probably die with em too, so i trust god more than myself, i'm trying to tell ya, drunk in the basement, now i'm in the wine cellar, i learned to never let the fear settle in, and now i'm more prepared than i've ever been, not one ounce of hate in my glass, just one of the things og taught me way in advance, said it's two types of folk in this world, got the ones that's out doing it, and those busy saying they can't, i give you my all, but it seems like that's not enough, letting you get more of me, so while the world keep on changing, the one thing remaining is, i keep letting you get more of me, you know some niggas never learn, some learn and never apply, but wait, some apply but never teach, my only right to preach, i spent time being each, grab your magnifying glass i need y'all to look closer, at the only dude to do every drug and get lower, if niggas knew a third of all the weight that he shouldered, they'd know it's an insult to think i'm only bipolar, i got a unique talent, don't know how i obtained it, how do i sustain it? can't even explain it, i get more info from words that aren't spoken, more fixated on people or things when they are broken, i used to think everybody was pure, now i'm busy trying to come up with everybody's cure, and that mindset led to glory, it be the people you help most, normally do the most harm, made it my whole life, most times i ain't bite, so no need to stick to a script that i didn't write, preconceived notions, nothing less than a failure, base your's off of the cover and miss the best-seller, while i'm at it, let me tell you about this angel i met, she was fly, from every angle was fresh, and the way that she was jamming to the song called 'i'm not perfect', made me wanna know what her imperfections were, now listen, and they weren't hard to find y'all, both parents were addicts like mine are, mi-nor, but her story wasn't new to me, most of life, shorty was homeless like i used to be, could tell she never felt appreciated, looked too much like her dad, was her mom's least favorite, picture a bond supposed to be sacred, looking up at your mom's eyes and seeing hatred, pop left when she was young, well she still young and he still gon' keep it 100, while i'm just amazed that a woman so beautiful, could through such ugliness and not become it, world keeps spinning, learned sinners keep sinning, and i can't even tell her some fights ain't fight worthy, cause my pops got 20 years clean, but her pops got 20 years dirty, she moved to jersey where he happens to reside, thinking they'll be closer but it's only fiction, cause she so young, all it does is cause friction, god picked the right nigga though, to teach about addiction, years ago she should've been on homie watch, so check the time out, just not on mommy's watch, cause someone beat her ass for years, someone calmly watched, na, stepdaddy beat her ass, mommy watched, i keep her closer than ever she always next to me, bisexual, comfortable sexually, i'm talking more comfortable than she should ever be, especially considered the fact she was molested three, times, somethings a picture doesn't tell, can't be worth a thousand words or her pictures might yell, ya'll see a pretty face on instagram, i see a girl that should be scarred, never lent a hand, there go god's work again how'd he know i need that?, how the fuck did he pick her to walk me through a relapse?, believe me, shorty i'll kill for you if need be, and i need you much more than you would ever think you need me, what i do for you is tangible, shit that you could gain, you for me, not understandable, it's shit you can't explain, some folk don't see the effect in that, some say i'm using you, they'd be correct in that, but what for they'll never know, it's deeper than nude pics, it's something i would never show, i figured like this. you came to me at a pool party and i was two steps away from smoking on that wet, my logic say to me, you came as a stranger and i hold you dearer than most people i ever met in my entire life b, god's work, not mine, you came younger and wiser, i'd have never known it, you don't look your age, younger and wiser when i was older and dumber, you came to me as nothing i'd have ever wanted, but everything i'd have ever needed, i swear to you its god's work, not mine, so you'll never be alone again, what's mine is yours, you won't be without a home again, and i know you from miami, so you hate the cold, but you been through much colder than me and i'm much older, you just ride shotgun, let a nigga chauffeur, i'll cut the grass, you just look out for the cobras, we'll be just fine, god set these on our shoulders, i'll show you a man, you showed me i could stay sober, let the world talk about every picture we post up, and we'll sleep well every night, cause they don't know us, ], i give you my all, but it seems like that's not enough, letting you get more of me, so while the world keep on changing, the one thing remaining is, i keep letting you get more of me, (god's work, talk to em, sometimes you gotta stick around for the miracle, gotta wait for the miracle to happen, god's work, not mine), i said, god's work, not, word, i love you, i'm gone, life is beautiful ain't it.
