Verse: I remember when a nigga couldn’t count on y’all, I had holes in my socks, now it’s Bally drawls, these bitches didn’t wanna call, now every time a nigga walk by they face drop, these niggas mad because I’m hot and they not, she wanna be my bitch but I told her she not, I like a bitch that wanna spend on a nigga, break a bag just to go and make a daddy happy cause she know that ima make it happen, in the streets it get active and above all this shit I just wanna be fly, dressed in all white in a Benz and I ain’t pulling up to no funeral, it’s a good day so let’s celebrate just me and you, you know, I’m a steak and lobster nigga because I used to be broke and could only afford the dollar menu and I ain’t having that
Chorus: Rolex’s , S600s, Lamb truck, duffle full of money, ain’t no going back bummy, I had to go and jump over the counter for shit, I remember all them times when I couldn’t count on nobody for shit, so a nigga all outta favors and I get everything that I want cause I’m a risk taker and I just want it all
Verse: Niggas used to piece up on chili fries but as we got older a nigga goals got different so I weighed the risks and the rewards and I put my grind to this shit, all I ever been was a provider but now a bitch can’t come around unless she got her own shit, you know I like em grown and she trippin off getting a bitch because I ain’t even try to give you my time all the time so let a nigga watch something, I wanted it all so I took it all because ain’t nobody ever gave me shit and when they think they did something I tell em that they ain’t really did shit cause at this point I just want what I want so it ain’t no more settling

Line by Line Meaning
I cant breathe
I feel suffocated without you
I cant sleep without you
I am suffering from insomnia because of my loneliness
I'm lost
I feel directionless and without purpose
In this hell alone
My life is like a living hell without you
So I pray
I am hoping and wishing for a positive outcome
That I find the light
I am looking for a way out of my current situation
Cant I change
I am questioning whether I am capable of changing my circumstances
Will I be alright
I am uncertain and anxious about my future
If I could only clear my mind
I wish I could find clarity and peace of mind
Leave all this madness far behind
I want to leave behind all the chaos and turmoil in my life
I don't want to want you
I wish I could get over my desire for you
But I hate to say I do
But I am unable to suppress my feelings for you
I cant help the way I feel for you
My emotions are too strong for me to control
I don't need to need you
I wish I could be independent of you
What am I supposed to do
I am confused and don't know what to do about my feelings
We were good
Our relationship used to be great
We were doing alright
We were managing well in the past
In those days
During that time
There were beautiful nights
We experienced wonderful moments together
But the scars on your heart
Your emotional wounds
Blinded you from the start
Blocked you from appreciating our relationship from the beginning
Not a thing I could do
I was helpless to change your perspective and feelings
If I could have helped you save your mind
I wish I could have helped you overcome your emotional pain
Leave all your darkness far behind
I wished we could have left behind our past emotional pain and moved on
We cant lose and we cant win
We are stuck in a situation where neither of us can come out as winners
This game were playin in
Our relationship is like a game that neither of us can win
Look at us now the shape of it
Our relationship has deteriorated
Its over ...over
Our relationship has ended for good
I guess its over....its over
I have come to accept that our relationship has ended
No I don't want
I don't wish to
Just cant let goo
I can't seem to move on from my feelings for you
