Armani White Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
Hey
Hey

[Hook]
I lost too many niggas once i changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like i'm not supposed to have this shit
But

I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful

[Verse]
Co-defense, oh my god i’m lit…
4th offense, fuck is one more hit
Momma called me late last night and told me money ain't as thick
So that last song was for car insurance, this one for her rent
I got tired of fucking witcha so i left that
Now you say i changed just to get a text back
Told us we ain't bеlong there, and i respеct that
So i bought 3 homes there, i stepped my trespass up
And now my baby cousin call my phone to prove that she know me
But don’t be talking all that gang shit if we used to be homies
I let y’all burn my name up, while i compete with the mirror
Now look, i’m everything that you said you would be in a year
I stayed strong, look thru the history
My daddy died holding my hand, he made a fist for me
I almost lost my mom last year, that shit could get to me
I missed 100 opps but still pocket another century


[Hook]
I lost too many niggas once i changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like i'm not supposed to have this shit
But

I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful


[Verse]
I lost my best friend in that fire, i been faking like she here with me
My auntie on my lock screen, i been faking like it’s therapy
I’m barely teen and burying my 7 year old cousin
Leekie lost his everything and still he tried keep me covered
Heard them shots barking, no Glock safety till slides jammed
But they won’t dropped charges, i dropped weights, shit i dropped fans
I think the hardest parts when you realize it’s not planned
I know i’m supposed to leave my faith up to god but goddamn
How i got stuck inside a jail, i’m barely eating or thinking
Waiting till they set the bail, i had to sleep on my sneakers
I pray nothing could tempt me, won’t let nothing convince me
These crooked fucking lawyers trynna turn my brother against me
I stayed strong, i get the lonely doubt
I lost my other aunt on my birthday, i kicked my homies out
I barely even speak to my siblings, felt like the only child
Watching how the ones who lift me up ain't never hold me down


[Hook]
I lost too many niggas once i changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like i'm not supposed to have this shit
But

I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful


[Outro]
I lost too many niggas once i changed myself, yeah
I been down on my luck started to blame myself
I thought this chain might help, got all them bags and shit
It keep me feeling like i'm not meant to be having it
But

I Stay Grateful
I Stay Grateful




I Stay Grateful
