Knocking on the door but ain't nobody home yeah

They locked me in that cage I was tryna just go home yeah
Look me in my face and they telling me I’m wrong yeah
So what would you do right now fighting for my life now
Pops told me to bite down and moms saying it's tight now
Need to find the right crowd I’m king so where is my crown

So I gotta get it by any means like I’m Malcolm
Can’t be moving the same way and expect a different outcome
That’s why all my niggas we flying we like some falcons
Swoopin on a nigga that try it ain’t gotta doubt one
Niggas try to persuade me not changing I’m in my own lane
Smoking on this gas, it’s pressure, my shit is propane
Grew up eating ramen my nigga ain’t have no lo mein
That’s why I don't give a fuck about yo niggas
I got my own gang it’s a lot of things that I know
Ain’t gotta show things
Plenty sleepless nights that go by when I wanna blow brains




When you lose a lot of yo guys yeah that’s when you know pain
When you lose a lot of yo guys yeah that’s when you know pain
