Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you in my corner only thing you gotta do is ask
Know I’m always rooting for ya try my best to be there for ya
If you fucking with my gang I swear to God yo ass is grass
Even though I’m only one man and I got this pain to hide
Any given day you need a friend you know you can confide
Know I’m always rooting for ya try my best to be there for ya
Mental health is so important take care what you feel insideI know how they move towards ya
Act like you ain’t good enough
In my eyes if you just be yourself you gon be good enough
Glad you came and told me man I know you must’ve had it tuff
Focus on your bag and just go block out all that other stuff
Get green like an alligator
Move like Arnold Schwarzenegger
But by that I just mean keep your skin harder than Terminator
Then after you add it up
Watch them goofies back it up
But they wasn’t shooting in the gym so tell ‘em pack it up
Oooweee
They just used me
And ain’t choose me
But it didn’t break me
Imma go hard till I get me a grammy
Im rolling this dope it come straight outta Cali
Called me a dub but I’m busting her fatty and I’m not her dad but she calling me daddy
There was a time when I knew that they wouldn’t but either way was doing all that I could
Hit it one time but I know that I shouldn’t
cuz they only fuck with me now that I’m good
Paranoia
This for all my fans in hard times with paranoia
You’re who I’m talking to so I’m on the mic to show ya
To do what you do never let that shit control ya
It’s really nice to know yaEven though I’m only human and I got this pain to mask
If you in my corner only thing you gotta do is ask
Know I’m always rooting for ya try my best to be there for ya
If you fucking with my gang I swear to God yo ass is grass
Even though I’m only one man and I got this pain to hide
Any given day you need a friend you know you can confide
Know I’m always rooting for ya try my best to be there for ya
Mental health is so important take care what you feel inside
