War

Uh… yeah…

They don’t know what I been through

Still stand tall like I meant to

(Yeah… yeah)

Came up from the gutter, I was deep in that war,

Now I’m countin’ blue faces while I sleep on the floor.

They was hatin’ back then, now they need me for sure,

Had to boss up, cut ties, I don’t speak to ’em no more.

I got pain in my heart, tryna bleed through the chords,

When you come from the mud, you don’t dream like before.

Put my life on a beat, let it scream through the chords,

Yeah I look calm now, but it’s a beast in my core.

Heart cold, had to freeze up the love,

Seen a snake in my circle, had to sweep out the rug.

Bros died young, I was grippin’ on a grudge,

Tryna outrun fate with a stick in the truck.

I remember long nights, no heat in the crib,

Now I ice out my neck just to flex how I live.

They was prayin’ I would fold, I was prayin’ for a win,

Now the ones who counted me out tryna call me they twin.

Mama told me, “Watch your back, don’t let ‘em too close,”

So I move like a shadow, heart black like a ghost.

Got a Glock with a switch, I don’t brag, I don’t post,

But if you threaten my peace, I turn pride into smoke.

When you come from the mud, you don’t dream like before.

Put my life on a beat, let it scream through the chords,

Yeah I look calm now, but it’s a beast in my core.

I was ridin’ with them demons, now I ride with success,

I ain’t duckin’ no smoke, I just move with finesse.

Used to pray I’d survive, now I pray to progress,

Took my Ls on the chin, now I flex through the stress.

Pop out, clean cut, but the trauma run deep,

Had to starve with the wolves just to learn how to eat.

Now the label want deals, but I came from the streets,

So I own every bar, every line I speak.

I don’t fake what I feel, I just spit what I live,

Ain’t no cap in my raps, all this pain too real.

Put my soul in the track, that’s how wounds get sealed,

Still got PTSD from the nights I’d kill.

Still movin’ like I ain’t made it yet…

’Cause the war inside don’t ever let me rest…

(Mmm… yeah…)
