lyrics

Ballin' like I'm innocent
Ballin like I'm winning
All I like is instruments and all my life been iffy
Giving game and wisdom to my niggas like I'm 50
Tryna make a gang and form a unit like I'm 50
I'mma break these chains while letting you know that I'm worth it
Catch me building up confidence like my Uno cards are perfect
Tryna pay my momma's rent, you moving through my yard like serpents
Plotting on my fall and telling folks my truth as if you know it

You know you don't know it
You know that I'm focused on proving I know my onus
So just watch me show the populace
Most these folks are solace-less
Ain't got no hobbies and just focused on their wallet
Tryna keep a fuck buddy
I need nothing but money, but my mind is polished
I do it by putting thought into my idols and their songs
I might go out like King Steez or go out like King Kong
Either way I know I'll be singing all along

You say we should make music
But when I'm tryna do it, you ain't booking
I'm looking for a unit I can cook with
Lotsa people think that I'm a rookie
By the time they see the projects, they be shook often
Who am I to tell a lie? You're either on my side or not
To tell the truth, I've made chicks cry a lot
And bitches made me sigh a lot
Cyanide on my mind a lot but I just cry then stop

'Cause that's the loop of life. LOL
If you're listening you're either feeling hell or well
'Cause one day, your cat might die
Next day, you may win a grand prize, right?
Used to be anti-ice like "fuck Articuno"
Still none of it's required on me to prove the dude's cold
Yeah man, I'm quite nice, shut like a suitcase though
And if you play-doh, then I won't play

'Cause I don't fake
And I don't say
Things I don't mean
To my homies

I don't fake
So I won't say
Things I don't mean
To my homies

I don't fake
And I don't say
Things I don't mean
To my homies

She had a beautiful soul, loving me
'Cause of me, it's just a fucking hole now
So she's with a new dude, oh no
But at least she's happy and she only sees her goals now
But deep low down, I'm as broke down
As Trump with no power, or an old house
But I'm old now, at least older than those around me
And those old and grounded, find me so astounding
So I don't even mean to dwell on her,
Just saw her earlier, and it's been a while
I just wanna smile with no things to rant about
And gallivant around, like my niece does
Simply, blissfully
And she's allowed to do that 'cause she's young
I'm the opposite, so I get numb sometimes
But I run these rhymes in my mind like they really matter

And I don't fake (And I don't say)
And I won't say (Things I don't mean)
Things I don't mean (To my homies)
To my homies

I don't fake
So I won't say
Things I don't mean
To my homies

I don't say
Things I don't mean
To my homies

I don't fake! No fake
So I won't say things I don't mean
