Malc Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a room full of fit ins
I find a find way to stand out
Cus I'll go broke before I ask for you for a hand out
These Niggas selling they soul just to buy some attention
It's all about the image
They don't care if the message missing

Done gave so much love
I forgot about myself
Got So much shit on my mind
N never asked once for help
Growing up I was taught up only rely on yaself
Cus in that casket ain't no room for no one else
Born alone
You die alone
That's just a fact of life
Losing so many I love
I question
Is this really right
But my motto through it all
Ima be Ight
Life go on
Even when yo ass can't fucking sleep at night
A Blessing or curse
Either or ion know
This pain feed my hunger
Its spilling out In my fucking flow
Cus I ain't like these rap niggas
Putting on a show
A true artists canvas is they life
So If you know you know
Don't compare me to these Niggas
They ain't more witty then me
Gritty than me
They shape shifters
They can't configure wit me
They all minute in my shadow
So how they bigger than me
For the green I Bol I Bol
But Ion think you get me
Cus everybody wanna be Jordan but nobody pippen
I could give a Fuck long as the whole squad winning
We just tryna feed our families
We got common interest
I could never switch up for bread
Or these fucking bitches

Be careful with ya love
Be careful with ya trust
Be careful wit ya time
Cus we don't get enough
Be careful wit ya mind
Be careful wit ya soul
Just be careful wit ya self
My nigga never fold

Be careful young nigga be careful
Be careful you nigga be careful
Be careful young nigga be careful
Be careful

With content
It's never good enough
Long as my momma got bills
I ain't doing good enough
Put the family first
It's Never I
It's always us
N I could never that just aint the way a nigga give it up
So what's free?
I took Hov verse literally
Invest in Self
Cus don't nobody believe in me more than me
Forward thinking
Know ya worth
If you goin yaself a king
Fuck them minions
N they opinions
Ion time to appease
Please
Started to make boss moves
Now I feel the shade
Passive aggressive
It's hidden codes in everything say
OG tole me thats the price you pay when ya goal is great
They goin hate
That's just cus them niggas cant relate
Cus they never get shady till they you shining
You ain't a threat til you noticed
Nobody saw you griding
So they confuse luck With hard work n perfect timing
Like that boy ain't been the man




Shit
N that's word to Zion
