[Verse 1]
He hit that corner in my hoodie, face tucked, hood low
Sayin' "it's bro from the Net," tryna make that good go
Screenshots all in they phone, see my chain, see my show
He flash my life like a ID, like that name came with the dough
They caught a body on the block, he wasn't there but they swear
Say my nickname in interrogation, like I’m sittin' in the chair
He told the shorties "I’m his blood, he gon' bond me outta there"
Meanwhile I’m on a different tour stop, different state, different air
He hit a stain, said the whip mine, said the crib mine too
Told 'em "P bought all this shit," they believed, they'd seen the view
My mama callin', heart racin', say the feds slid through
Ask if I’m tied up in that case, I said "Mama, I been true"
His homies brag on group chat, droppin' my songs as a flex
"That’s my brother, we locked in," while they causin' me stress
Every rumor got my face on it, every charge, every text
Whole city think I’m movin' foul, tryna read between the mess
[Chorus]
You put my name in the case, put my face on the line
Used my blood for a key, tryna unlock time
I gave you love, you gave the streets my life to explain
You was ridin' with my blessings, had me dyin' in the blame
[Verse 2]
At first I chalked it to hunger, we came from empty plates
Same shoes, same summers, same cold Section 8
I thought, "He see me as a ladder, tryna climb out this fate"
But you ain’t see that every rumor put more weight on my name
I felt betrayed, but I’m guilty 'cause I flashed what I earned
Made it look like easy money, you ain’t see how I burned
You was chasin' how I live, not the nights I was disturbed
Every verse was a confession, you just heard a couple words
You had my pictures in your pocket, but my trust in your hands
You threw my image at the law, like a shield in the jam
I was facin' all them questions, you was facin' all them scams
And I’m torn between protectin' you and lettin' you be a man
Part of me wanna cut you off, let the distance be the cure
Part of me remember bunk beds, one coat, one floor
I hate the way you used my name, love the boy that I swore
I’d keep safe from all this darkness, now you draggin' me in more
[Chorus]
