Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why I had to do this to me
Can't forget how careless I'd be
That's why I had to do this to me
Yeah
You get what you give in the end
We ain't giving the same though
Yeah
I'm the king of
My city my boy
Every inch
Every angle
Aye
A big heart gets you tangled
But then what is love
I get it from city
Team run it all like committee
You know we litty
I took some time to myself
And that time turned to wealth
It's a biggie
Life it got sticky
I lost it all I'm admitting
Then found the Queen to my Slimmy
Got a few stimmys
Went out and flipped it with
Big Money Johnny my bank look forgiven
Oh
Spending all my days in my zone
Love being all alone right now
It's some people I don't love still calling
On my phone right now
I don't got time
I've grown right now
My whole life I worked for times
Like Right now
Working blinds closed
In my house
Boy you better pipe down
I don't go vegan once niggas
Talk down on my name
That's on the Gang
Once it's beef
It's always beef my
Mindset it ain't ever changed
Petty I know
Bitch I got plays out in
Hella countries I ain't ever been
I need more I'm never settlin'
Swear that old me is dead I'm a better man
Can't forget how careless I'd be
That's why I had to do this to me
Can't forget how careless I'd be
That's why I had to do this to me
Ima keep climbing 'til these legs
God gave me can't climb no more
Been through the hurt
Been through the dirt I can whine no more
Been through the times
I ain't even feel like I was mine no more
But my baby need me and lord
I need my baby can't hide no more
Aw Damn let go of that shit
Focused on my bank roll
Cuz my bank was low and that
Stank like all of that shit
I really can't believe it
Aye
Still the hoes was all on me
Aye

Thing about the kid
They see a little clout
Still want me

Told ya'll cut that foolishness
Careless I don't know how
Most ya'll sold out still ain't doing shit

Too much going on I had to separate
Now I found a better way
Can't forget how careless I'd be
That's why I had to do this to me
Can't forget how careless I'd be
That's why I had to do this to me
