I Was Wrong
B.T.C. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"It's not about control
It's not like he wants to kill
He just doesn't want to die
You know what I'm saying
It's that situation when you got
We all living in a war zone
I feel like I can represent my generation so much because I honestly did not care Whether if I live or die
But now I cannot die
I can't leave
Until this sh*t straight
You know
I'm not suicidal
I can't go
Until y'all really know what time it is
And then after that
Boom it's all over
And we can see you know how this sh*t fall
But that's how it is
Reason being is because if I can't live free
If I can't live with the same respect as the next man
I don't want to be here
Because God has cursed me to see what life should be like
Get the crust outta ya eyes
And peep the real world viewpoint
Traffic violations leading to being held up at gunpoint
Law enforcement killing us
Creates so much disappoint
Or is it kids knowing how to make a tiktok but not a powerpoint
Had to pinpoint
Let me double back
How we pay for our college diploma
Then work our whole life paying it back
Just stating facts
Student debt we all in
Stressing over a fucking job we ain't even get our degree in
Who to believe in
I guess you call em friends
Some wanna see you do good in life, just not better than them
Fake love shown in the worst way
Maybe one text or call from em only on my birthday
Real envy
Short-term, no longevity
That's another convo but I don't think you ready
Can't drive me crazy
Not even in ya new mercedes
Because I carry it well, don't mean it ain't heavy
Toggle war of emotion, just looking for a single clue
Praying, asking God
Man what the fuck to do
He said
Let people do what they wanna do
So you can sit back and actually see what they rather do
But what we supposed to do
When our President bias
Allowing police violence
Causing city riots
No more silence
Racism been alive
Glad you can finally see
Knee on my neck begging to the police, I can't breathe
Leader of our country, but minorities are his least concern
I would, if I could vote Obama for a third term
If you ain't with Us, We ain't with y'all
Pick a side
Damn, world ain't been the same since Kobe died
It's like
People now-a-days are more concern of looking like a good person
Rather than actually being a good person
Listen lil homie
Be you and don't become something you not
Sorry to tell ya but everybody ain't blessed with the Curry shot
Finally getting in her pants ain't the only jackpot
Black man gets murdered on the news, all they show is his mugshot
That's just a train of thought
Lemme feel ya thoughts, pick ya brain
Don't be the same
Don't sell ya should while you seeking fame
Don't follow trace
Give me sour taste
Quit the team for quick schemes, that's a talent waste
But the evolution brought you this far
Hoop star
Realize how close, you are
To posting on IG surprising yo momma with her dream car
You got it figured out, so tell me how
Sippin' lean, copped a face tatt, oh you a rapper now
Sneaking out, robbing old ladies, oh you a thug now
Fat crib, nice whip living with two loving parents
This guy's a gangster
His real name is Clarence
And Clarence ain't the only one naive to this life shit
Even the girl you been pressing but forever playing hard to get
Bet if you had a "K" behind yo followers, she'll be willing to ride ya dick
Damn shorty, is that the norm
Can you count on your fingers how many n***** been in and out your dorm
The more that had ya, the less that actually want ya
Yes, you have a body of the stallion
More important a brain of Mrs. Obama
One semester left from being the first earning yo diploma
Came too far to throw it away by trying to model for FashionNova
Not trying to cut ya heart
Just calling a spade a spade
No knock to the ones dancing on stage to get her bills paid
But watch that route get unpaved




When ya son comes of age
Snooping around and come across ya onlyfan's page

Same to you

@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363

People underestimate hell, it is bad because it is separation from God. In a vision I was shown a perron who claimed to be Christian but started fornication (premarital sex), He died relatively young and went to hell forever (1 Cor 6:9). God’s holiness means He will not coexist with sinners forever therefore Repent (Luke 13:3) and have a relationship with Jesus.

@beniah-A

Carl has said this many times. πŸ’―

@McHype76

Mabey he was drinking πŸ˜‚

@312pato

Xrp thoooo πŸŽ‰

@smiley5799

Carl also said that he is going to close his channel if BTC does not reach 100.000$ until the end of this year.

@LiamDavid

I was thinking the same thing. Everyone is bearish and will sell early, some haven't even bought yet πŸ˜‚

@bullrunben9855

So thoughts on the etf if everyone thinks its gonna happen?

@watchchill789

I remember you saying as well that btc would never drop below 30k ,that was a sign that it could occur ...the cycle of 21 was very incredibly bullish and it did affect most of people in the crypto space.
