′Cause my young niggas they
(Gianni)
'Cause my young niggas they
Young niggas, they ruthless
Nah, nigga. where the bros at?
Nah, nigga, where the hoes at?
Nah, nigga, where the love at?
Now a nigga would′ve did this
Now a nigga would've comeback
If you think that I fell off
Now a nigga made a comeback (oh)
Now a nigga brought the life back
Now a nigga brought the sun back
Now a nigga gotta fight back
(Now a nigga gotta fight back)
Tears that I gotta hold back
Poppin' these pills ′til my eyes roll back
My nigga gotta lean addiction, no Cognac
And I′m like, "Damn, I shoulda called back"
"Damn, I should've gone back"
And I can′t tell the haters fall back
Never thought we would've falled out
Now I gotta ball out (oh)
You was fuckin′ with a thottie
She know she was with us (oh)
She don't even trust nobody (oh)
You don′t wanna get indicted
He say he gon' go out fighting
Seem like a bullet flyin' every night
And I smoke the pain away
Just to get it out my mind
I feel like I′m flyin′ (It's Surreal Gang, Lil′ Bitch!)
She wanna know what it feel like when I'm cryin
Feel like I′m dyin' (oh)
(Gianni)
Too many things in my mind
That I can′t get behind
I'm poppin' them Hydro′s with the wine
I feel like it all is a lie
I feel like it all is a lie
I feel like it all is a lie
I′m losin' my head, I ain′t playin' with these niggas no more
I′m losin' my head, I ain′t playin' with these niggas no more
(BAP!)
Nah, nigga. where the bros at?
Nah, nigga, where the hoes at?
Nah, nigga, where the hoes at?
Nah, nigga, where the love at?
Now a nigga would've did this
Now a nigga would′ve comeback
If you think that I fell off
Now a nigga made a comeback (oh)
Now a nigga brought the life back
Now a nigga brought the sun back
Now a nigga gotta fight back
(Now a nigga gotta fight back)
Tears that I gotta hold back
Poppin′ these pills 'til my eyes roll back
My nigga gotta lean addiction, no Cognac

I am surrounded by young, ruthless individuals who are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in life.
Nah, nigga. where the bros at?
Nah, nigga, where the hoes at?
Nah, nigga, where the hoes at?
Nah, nigga, where the love at?
I am frustrated that I cannot find the support and love that I am seeking from either my close male friends or female companions.

I have recently experienced a downfall but have come back even stronger, bringing new energy and positivity into my life, and I am ready to fight for what I deserve.
Tears that I gotta hold back
Poppin' these pills ′til my eyes roll back
My nigga gotta lean addiction, no Cognac
I am struggling with my emotions and resorting to drug use to cope with my pain. My friend is addicted to lean and is not drinking Cognac.
And I′m like, "Damn, I shoulda called back"
"Damn, I should've gone back"
And I can′t tell the haters fall back
I have regrets about not keeping in touch with people in my past, and even though I am succeeding now, I still have people who doubt me.
Never thought we would've falled out
Now I gotta ball out (oh)
You was fuckin′ with a thottie
She know she was with us (oh)
She don't even trust nobody (oh)
You don′t wanna get indicted
He say he gon' go out fighting
Seem like a bullet flyin' every night
And I smoke the pain away
Just to get it out my mind
I feel like I'm flyin′ (It's Surreal Gang, Lil′ Bitch!)
She wanna know what it feel like when I'm cryin
Feel like I′m dyin' (oh)
(Gianni)
I am hurt that friendships have fallen apart and must use my success to prove myself. A woman we were involved with has trust issues and is causing drama. We must watch out for legal troubles and violence. I use drugs to cope with my overwhelming thoughts and emotions, but it feels like I'm flying when I'm high. People are curious about my emotional state when I am vulnerable, and it feels like I might be dying.
Too many things in my mind
That I can′t get behind
I'm poppin' them Hydro′s with the wine
I feel like it all is a lie
I feel like it all is a lie
I feel like it all is a lie
I′m losin' my head, I ain′t playin' with these niggas no more
I′m losin' my head, I ain′t playin' with these niggas no more
(BAP!)
I am overwhelmed with my thoughts and cannot make sense of them. I am resorting to taking Hydrocodone with wine and feeling like everything in my life is fake. I am losing control and cannot trust the people around me anymore.
