[Verse]
I promise they're still good in me, I know i've done wrong
Tell me what you see in me, i know it's been too long
Sorry I changed
So sorry I changed
Love is evil, don't believe me then spell it backwards
I just do this shit to vent, and then get drunk after
I'll do anything to see one of my son's happy
You play like you won't smoke, knock that bitch til his lungs backwards
I'm from a city where there's nothing but gangstas and drug addicts
When I was young, I spent too many nights on a blow up mattress
Cashing out on hoes and clothes, shit that i just thought mattered
This that painful poetry
Let's talk about this shit that I be thinking when I can't go to sleep
I brought kids in the world, hope that I can be the dad i'm supposed to be
I've been scarred by people that were close to me
This dark cloud keep hanging over me
I always look out for my niggas, but never givin what was owed to me
You can see it in my eye, real niggas got to notice me
I put my family on my back, just like a backpack
P T S D from being broke, im having flashbacks
Now i'm just trying to do right, fuck you mad at
Once you burn them bridges, you can't backtrack
They used to call me corny, I got laughed at
Shit ain't funny when the rabbit got the gun, I need the last laugh
Remember not the bite to hand that feed you
Ain't it crazy that the one that you've been feeding
Suddenly get greedy
Turn around and go to actin like they ain't need ya
That's why I keep my distance
I dont fake cause they dont listen
And even if they did its just so, they can know your business
I'm the type to handle business
Even if it was a handful
They be acting like they love you knowin damn well they can't stand you
Quit actin like a hoe
Hate me wit yo chest
I've been working on my aim, don't waste no money on no vest
I'm just laid back, the quiet one, try me be my guess
They aint see me as a threat
Fuck with me this smith and wesson, make a mess
Stop fuckin with these drugs, just because you are depressed
Real niggas, feels like there aint too many of them left
Watch the company you keep that's how niggas end up dead
Be careful who you speak around, that's how niggas end up in the feds
Praying for my city close my eyes and bow my head
This that painful poetry
Painful poetry
