Hurtin
Lil Baby Lyrics

Gotta beat the odds, I'm tryna blend in (blend)
I have to overcome the challenges and fit in with society.

Hit that boy so many times, he made CNN
I have attacked someone so frequently that it gained national media attention.

Fear of God pants, I don't fear men
I wear expensive clothing but I am not afraid of anyone.

Pull up in an old-school, the fifty in the rear end, big dawg
I arrive in a vintage car with a firearm in the back, showing my dominance.

Takin' chances, gettin' packs, and tryna get 'em back
I am engaging in risky activities to acquire drugs and regain what I lost.

I watched the law take my bro, I'm tryna get him back
I witnessed the police arrest my friend, and I am determined to free him.

I pray to God that I don't have to get nobody whacked
I hope that I won't have to order someone's murder.

Ain't gettin' into that, I try to tell 'em facts
I avoid discussing certain topics, but I try to provide truthful information.

I got it the worstest, I ain't have to rehearse this
I have experienced the most difficult circumstances, and I didn't need practice to express it.

Made me who I am, I'm gettin' bands, I'm breakin' curses
My past shaped my identity, and now I am earning money and breaking negative patterns.

Trap spot do six figures, still got sheets, fuck curtains
My drug-dealing location generates substantial income, yet I haven't replaced the bedding, disregarding luxuries.

Excuse me as I go off, have flashbacks in my verses, I'm tellin' you
Apologies while I become emotional and recall past traumatic events in my lyrics, I'm being honest with you.

I done put my heart inside a box and tried to sell it to 'em
I have guarded my emotions and vulnerability, attempting to profit from them.

Beefin' with my partners, do a nigga like I never knew him
Fighting with my friends, treating them as if they were strangers.

Fucked around and seen her with a nigga, I woulda never knew it
I accidentally discovered that she was involved with another man, and I would have never suspected it.

Always talkin' 'bout what I'm gon' do, but I don't ever do it, yeah
I frequently discuss my future plans, but I rarely follow through with them.

Beefin' with myself
I am in conflict with my own thoughts and emotions.

Keep on wanting syrup, but knowin' it don't help (it don't)
I continuously desire codeine syrup, despite knowing it doesn't provide true relief.

It's like I got money to please everybody else
I feel like I have wealth solely to satisfy others.

They act like they with you, but I'm knowin' they don't care
They pretend to support you, but I am aware that they are indifferent.

They in it for self (yeah), I got it for sale if it's rollin' (rollin')
They are only concerned about themselves, while I have drugs available for purchase if they are interested.

I got out of jail and I showed 'em (showed 'em)
After being released from prison, I proved my worth to them.

Couple bitches know they wish they would've held it down
A few women regret not staying loyal to me when I faced difficulties.

It feel like they build me up, try to tear me down
Sometimes it seems like they support me, but then they attempt to bring me down.

I gotta stay solid
I need to remain loyal and reliable.

I grew up 'round dope boys, I don't need no stylist
Having been raised around drug dealers, I have a street sense and don't require a fashion expert.

I got grown man money, can't be actin' childish (no childish)
I possess matured wealth and cannot behave immaturly.

I been through too much shit, barely even smile (huh?)
I have experienced numerous hardships, causing me to rarely display happiness.

Sippin' on this red, I wish bruh was with me now (now)
Drinking codeine syrup, I feel a longing for my friend who is no longer alive.

It was time that we'll go broke, we'll pick a play and take 'em down
When we were financially struggling, we would strategize and target our opponents to gain wealth.

Kick me when I'm down, when I get up, I'll prolly shit on you
People disrespect me when I am at my lowest, but when I succeed, I will likely surpass them.

I can't even lie, I'll prolly see 'em, I just spit on 'em
Honestly, if I encounter them, I will insult them.

These pieces I got lit on me, this piece I got gon' hit on men
I have jewelry that shines, and the firearm I possess will harm others.

I ain't never did no fraud, but I'm known for pullin' cards
Although I have never committed fraud, I am recognized for exposing others' weaknesses.

Ask about me in my neighborhood, I'm known for goin' hard
If you inquire about me within my community, you will learn that I am determined and relentless.

I've been bustin' on that Glizzy ever since I had got robbed (baow, baow, baow)
I have been firing my gun consistently since I was a victim of robbery.

I done really beat the odds
I have genuinely overcome great obstacles.
