Aight
Burn the fake sucker
Hold the L and make it home for supper
Mama need the bread imma make it so I
Tell her
I need 2 rings to make it happen
Burn the fake sucker
Mama need the bread imma make it so I
Tell her
Things around here aren’t easy where the money Is like pennies and the pennies are like nothing
They starving everyday we gotta feed em
Like the people being positive and sharing no evil
This is world is corrupted don’t you see it get Mistaken for your color and get 3 bullets
That’s like 25, 35, 65
How many lives do they have to take realize we’re not okay
Such a cruel world I see right now
From singing and rapping and trapping you Lacking stop hacking
Where the point of music go?
Where did them all the memories go?
What you and hear and what you see are 2 different things
But I set them apart and realize the in between. All night, all night, all night
We can sing our love song all night
Then we hit other road, goodnight

The song's message is driven home through its powerful social commentary, which touches on issues such as policing, the effects of poverty, and the need to stay true to oneself in the face of adversity.
