I'm tryna shake them demons off
I took some risks no I can't be wrong

When I pull up my outfit be killing shit
I'm silent that 30 I'll make a hit
Yea I empty the whole clip
My swag head to toe my drip
You see my slime he loading it
My bitch a dime and she with the shits
All gas no brakes I'm rolling it
Gang gang yeah rolling crip
Same gang I'm with the same names
Out the mud we share the same pain
Yea we sip to try and numb the pain
Different type of nigga I'm on go

But what you need we might got it though
Real street nigga what you know

Ape shit scrape the plate shit
Hit the running man I set the pace yea
Chasing that bag like I'm Forest Gump

Yea we sip to try and numb the pain
Off the porch early I really was
Demons on my shoulders really was

Dodging them jakes and dodging bullets
These niggas is weird they hope I wouldn't
Me I don't care I just keep it moving
Pull up they fear cause I keep it on me

Trap house to trap house I'm getting it pots and pans
