Not The Only One
Kevin Gates Lyrics

Actors got stripes they ain't never earned
Fake people pretend to be something they're not

Not a freak for fame, rather wait my turn
I'm not desperate for fame, I'll wait for my time

Say he tattle-taling, put him in the dirt
If someone is snitching, I'll kill them

Fuck his family members, they can wear his shirt
I have no remorse, even their family can suffer

Every rapper talkin' cookin' dope
All these rappers pretending to be drug dealers

Flippity-flip, break-break the wrist
They can't actually cook drugs or break down bricks

I desire now to be alone, no attention if it's ignorance
I don't want attention from ignorant people

To say it frankly, I don't give a shit
Frankly, I don't care about anything

Breathin' hard, come on, say what's on your thoughts
Speak up, say what's on your mind

Somethin' on your mind, I could take it off
If you have a problem, I can solve it

Money mean nothin', I want my respect
Money isn't important to me, I want respect

Death before dishonor tatted on my flesh
I value honor over everything, it's even tattooed on me

Holes in my clothes, underarms smellin'
I don't care about appearances, I wear worn-out clothes

Million Man March, this ain't Malcolm X
I support the civil rights movement, but I'm not Malcolm X

Welfare, receivin' government assistance
I'm on welfare, getting help from the government

Get up out the bed, spend up all they check
I waste my welfare check as soon as I get it

How you don't know that, you ain't never, yeah
You don't know what it's like if you've never experienced it

What you mean by yay, talkin' sellin' crack
When I talk about 'yay', I mean selling crack cocaine

Embalming fluid runs through Montana
Drugs flow through Montana, like embalming fluid

Thinking going back and peddle weight
I'm considering returning to selling drugs

Pills that Reedy stuck stoppin' up the rig
Reedy is using pills and ruining his life

Renegade hoes settin' up the trick
These untrustworthy women are setting up men

Junkies usin' H, it's a better feel
Addicts are using heroin because it gives them a better high

Ain't been havin' no dreams
I haven't been having any dreams

Don't be gettin' no sleep
I can't sleep

How could someone call me those things
How can someone say those things about me

When they don't even know me
They don't even know who I really am

I lost everything I love a week ago
I recently lost everything I cared about

Loyalty which probably mean the most
Loyalty is the most important thing to me

Heart played on every time I gave
My heart was always broken whenever I gave love

Makin' me afraid of being close
Now I'm scared to get close to anyone

Big dog, mouth full of gold
I'm a big shot, with lots of gold teeth

Big loud, ounce get rolled
I smoke big blunts, rolled with an ounce of weed

We dive out twenty shows
We perform at twenty different shows

Radio stop playin' songs
The radio isn't playing my songs

I ain't really feel like I was wrong
I didn't think I did anything wrong

Southside finest get it on
The best from the Southside, we fight back

Right back grindin', teeth grittin'
I'm back to grinding and gritting my teeth

Ship sinkin', cry about it? No
Even if my ship is sinking, I won't cry

Catch 'em with the lyrics on a whim
I surprise people with my rapping skills

The one who spoke the laws I am him
I'm the one who sets the rules

Started out, we wanted us some ends
When we started, we just wanted money

Late night discussion of a Benz
Late at night, we talk about getting a Benz

Late night we fussin' 'bout the rent
Late at night, we argue about paying rent

Eviction notice posted, I ain't notice
We got an eviction notice, but I didn't notice it

Focused tryna get another flip
I'm focused on making more money

Wasn't makin' half of what I spent
I wasn't making enough to cover my expenses

Tee Newman passenger, we lit
Tee Newman is sitting in my car, and we're high

I just got with Mocha, that's a lick
I just hooked up with Mocha, that's an opportunity

Women wanna clown in front they friends
Women want to embarrass me in front of their friends

Like you was not respectin' what it is
Like you don't appreciate what we have

Listen when I tell you what it is
Pay attention when I explain the situation

To be around you signin' a consent
Being around you means agreeing to something

You know I just got married to your friend
You know I recently married your friend

I done threw a ring around the dick
I put a ring on my penis

Diamonds dancin' every time I spit
My jewelry sparkles when I rap

Had to throw some bling up on a bitch
I had to give some jewelry to a woman

Self-made, stand-up guy
I made myself successful, I have integrity

God first, hands to the sky
I prioritize God, I worship with my hands up

All I do is ride nigga, yeah
I'm always riding, always moving forward

I don't even argue about the bread
I don't argue about money

And the money that you owe me, you can have
You owe me money, you can keep it

I can't even see me gettin' mad
I can't even imagine myself getting angry

I can't even see me goin' backwards
I can't see myself going back to where I started

Know you wanna see me on my ass
You want to see me fail

Cuttin' up with Dreka fine ass
I'm having a good time with Dreka's attractive self

Swagger matchin', where'd you find that?
We both have the same stylish attitude, where did you find it?

See, I live my life like, you know, we gon' enjoy this bitch
I live my life as if we're going to have a great time

Because you never know when it could be over, so
You never know when life will end

I just enjoy, go
So I just enjoy myself and keep going
