Granted
My Brothers And I Lyrics

I guess they forgot about all the blood and tears, they were sheddin' on me
People have forgotten the struggles I went through to get where I am today.

'Cause when I see 'em they act like they movin' better than me
Even though people act like they are doing better than me, I know the truth.

I shrug it off 'cause I know they ain't doin' better than me
I don't let their behavior affect me because I know the reality of the situation.

And I ain't even gotta talk about these scars 'cause they embedded on me
The scars I have from my experiences are visible enough that I don't even have to mention them.

So stop it, got a bunch of dead presidents that I can't even name in these pockets
I have a lot of money, too much to even remember how much I have.

And I walk around with that strap, you might get clapped if you try to rob me
I carry a gun and if someone tries to rob me, they might get shot.

You gotta keep it gangsta with these hoes, I ain't showin' love to no sidepiece (oh, oh, oh)
I don't show love or loyalty to someone who is only temporary or unimportant in my life.

And everything I did was off the strength
Everything I have accomplished has been because of my own hard work and determination.

We pulled way too many muscles for us to work it out
We have gone through too many difficulties and worked too hard to fix our problems.

And y'all can't peak inside this window, I got the curtains down
People can't see the truth about what's going on in my life because I keep everything private.

Sometimes I let my shorty hold the grip, she be on point
Sometimes I let my girlfriend carry a gun and she is always ready to use it if needed.

Y'all niggas make a move, she pull that Birkin out
If someone tries to make a move, my girlfriend will pull out her gun to protect us.

These niggas really think they spooky
These people think they are intimidating or scary, but they really aren't.

It ain't shit for me to throw some Benjis on that kufi
I have a lot of money and it's easy for me to spend it on things I want.

Wanna turn a good girl to a freak? Throw Benjis on that coochie
If you want to turn a good girl into someone who is promiscuous, all you have to do is offer her money.

You gotta stand on what you said, don't dap me up if we ain't Gucci
If you don't mean what you say, don't try to fake a friendship with me.

You better know what's up
You need to be aware of what's going on and stay informed.

And I still pull up to my hood sometimes to show 'em love
I still visit my old neighborhood to show people there that I still care about them.

I think I popped too many Percs, I feel like throwin' up
I think I took too much of a prescription medication and I feel sick.

And even if there's blood on my flag, I'm still gon' throw it up
Even if there are consequences or harm caused, I will still represent and be loyal to my gang or group.

Had a fall of with my dawg but there ain't no beef
I had a disagreement with my friend, but we aren't mad at each other or in a fight.

And if it's war, we not gon' keep in the streets
If there is a serious conflict, we won't resort to violence in the public or on the streets.

All these drugs in my system, I ain't even tryna speak
I am high on drugs and don't even feel like talking right now.

Got withdrawals from your love, I ain't never feel this weak
I feel weak without the love and support of someone in my life.

Before I sweat you, I'll forget you like it's nothin'
If you cause me too much stress or worry, I will forget about you without hesitation.

You got no respect, you disrespect me like it's nothin'
You have no respect for me and show it by disrespecting me without any thought or consequence.

And I ain't tryna get burned in my own flame
I am not going to let my own desires or decisions cause me harm or regret.

If I get caught up, I'm sayin' no name
If I get into trouble or am caught doing something wrong, I will not reveal any names or information to protect myself and others.

It's a cold heart right under this gold chain
I have a cold and hard personality or attitude even though I wear expensive and flashy jewelry.

Double up my cup for this cold pain
I am drinking more alcohol to try to numb or block out the pain I am feeling.

In this big body, I'm swervin' in my own lane
I am driving around in my large or expensive car, staying in my own lane and not caring about anyone else.

I'm racin' for that heart, I want my old flame back
I am trying hard and competing to win back the love and affection of someone from my past.

Had to isolate myself now I'm alone
I had to separate myself from others for various reasons and now I am by myself.

It's hard to remove all of these stitches from my soul
It's difficult to heal and recover from the emotional pain and trauma I have experienced.

And if I think you on that bullshit
If I suspect or know that you are lying or being fake, etc.

I'ma introduce to this full clip, oh, oh
I will expose you or get revenge by using my gun to shoot at you.

So please don't take my heart for granted
Please don't underestimate or undervalue my love, affection, or emotions.

Please, don't take my trust for granted
Please don't betray or break the trust I have placed in you.

I'm at the edge, tryna get some space
I am at my limit and need some physical or emotional distance from others.

I know I might take some time but fuck it, I'll be okay
It may take me some time to recover or heal from my current situation, but eventually I will be okay.

Got high expectations for someone with low standards
I expect a lot from someone who doesn't have much ambition or capability.

Please, don't take my time for granted
Please don't waste my time or be disrespectful of my time and commitments.

Please, don't take my trust for granted
Please don't betray or break the trust I have placed in you.
