(Tahj money)

(Tre made this beat)
I done seen so many niggas get killed, nigga

You should expect it too, nigga
You take one of mines, I'ma take one of yours
Blac Youngsta, truly yours

See me fightin' with my demons, yeah
See, I'm fightin' with my demon, yeah
Said I'm fightin' with my demons, yeah
I said I'm fightin' with my demons
Yeah, ayy, this demon inside me, yeah, she can sit beside me (what up?)
Catchin' opps on the backstreet, I don't let a fuck nigga size me (shut up)
If I get jammed on a mission
I ain't gon' never tell 'em where my guys be
If I get jammed on this mission
I ain't gon' tell the laws where my guys be, nah, yeah (shut up)

Ain't no fuckin' rat, nigga, I ain't 6ix9ine (nah)
Nigga hit me like six times, I ain't tell the laws like shit times (bah)
When I pull down on that pussy nigga, he gon' whine like his bitch whine
You can't even fix your own problems, how the fuck you gon' fix mines? (Pussy), pussy
I come straight from Memphis, we talk shit when we lit, nigga (fuck nigga)
Only time I hush up, when I go on a lick, nigga (lil' nigga, lil' nigga)
Don't ask me 'bout my gang, you know I don't know shit, nigga (brraow)
Don't ask me 'bout my father, you know he was a bitch nigga
I said where I'm from, when you sixteen, you get sixteen shots
I was in the traphouse servin' when your team dropped
Seen so many cops kill niggas, now I dream cops
And you know my opps, they be droppin' like jeans drop
I ain't seen my dawg in a minute, he still in the feds
And I keep that Draco on me like it's money on my head
And I keep them pussy niggas runnin' from me like they scared
And they talk behind my back, but when they see me, they don't say it, yeah
I can't even count how many niggas I done fed
I can't even count how many bitches I done spred
I can't even count how many niggas I done shot
You can't even count how many bodies you ain't dropped

See me fightin' with my demons, yeah
See, I'm fightin' with my demon, yeah
Said I'm fightin' with my demons, yeah
I said I'm fightin' with my demons
Ayy, this demon inside me, yeah, she can sit beside me (what up?)
Catchin' opps on the backstreet, I don't let a fuck nigga size me (shut up)
If I get jammed on a mission
I ain't gon' never tell 'em where my guys be
If I get jammed on this mission
I ain't gon' tell the laws where my guys be, nah (shut up)

Them demons got me screamin' out the truth (truth)
It might help you get the picture if I pull a you on you (you)
Lookin' back over it now, tellin' myself I should've knew (fuck)
Thought he was colorblind until he switched up out the blue (see)
Beat myself up 'bout it (damn)
I was hurtin' low-key (man)
Fuck the alphabets, nothin' come before BGE (nothin')
I'm like damn, bruh tweaked (damn)
Lost for words, can't speak
When you in it, what come with it, charge it to the streets
You know that's how it 'posed to be (for real)
You can't guard me, the chopper play defense (brr)
Had to get some shit in order, put it back in sequence (track list)
Talkin' loud, they can't touch me, but I see 'em reachin' (fuck 'em)
Finally made it out the swamp and peeled off all the leeches (got 'em off me, woah)
I was the only one that rapped, but everybody ate (remember)
My mama textin' me confused why she ain't seen my face (I miss her)
I chopped the check up with the guys, then went bought a Wraith (ask 'em)
Made men, clean your block up with a dirty K

Demons, yeah
See, I'm fightin' with my demon, yeah
Said I'm fightin' with my demons, yeah
I said I'm fightin' with my demons
Ayy, this demon inside me, yeah, she can sit beside me (what up?)
Catchin' opps on the backstreet, I don't let a fuck nigga size me (shut up)
If I get jammed on a mission
I ain't gon' never tell 'em where my guys be




If I get jammed on this mission
I ain't gon' tell the laws where my guys be, nah, yeah (shut up)
