Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, uh, uh
Living lawless, they might say I'm a menace
Father God, I just pray for forgiveness
We fell off and shit got strange 'cause of distance
Wish I could get some millions in exchange for my feelings
Feel like you had it harder, we felt pain, what's the difference?
Cold killer raised from the trenches
For my dawgs, I'd give up all the fame and the riches
Just remember my name when I'm finished
Baby, this Ralph Lauren, not Lacoste
Tryna shake these toxic thoughts
But if a pussy play, we knock him off
And when I had a kid, I seen what my mama saw
Got niggas pocket watching tryna add up what I bought
He might get a halo from these hollows
Been drowning in my sorrows but hopefully I'll be fine by tomorrow
In my feelings in this Wraith 'cause that's where stars cope
Insecure but he so scared to let his scars show
Might cash out on the Vette like fuck a car note
Tired of being heart broke, numb to the pain, he let his heart go

Pull up, take his soul, we don't borrow
Fuck the opps, get money, that's the motto
Living lawless, they might say I'm a menace
Father God, I just pray for forgiveness
We fell off and shit got strange 'cause of distance
Wish I could get some millions in exchange for my feelings
Feel like you had it harder, we felt pain, what's the difference?
Lil' bro gon' let it bang, fuck a witness
Cold killer raised from the trenches
For my dawgs, I'd give up all the fame and the riches
Just remember my name when I'm finished
Ay, time wait for no man, I'm off this romance
She just wanna fuck to Jamie Foxx and Kanye West's "Slow Jamz"
Been taking it slow, ain't popped a pill in a minute
And sometimes I don't know who by my side 'cause these niggas tell me lies
Got crossed too many times, you can't catch me by surprise
My mama took me to church, I'm tryna keep up with my tithes
Got a purpose, gotta step on they tops
I know they praying I'ma flop, they ain't know I was a blessing in disguise
And I know that if I ended up in prison, they'd never ever visit
They'd never ever send a J-Pay
I promise I'ma make it home to my lil' baby
I promise to never ever listen to naysay
Living lawless, they might say I'm a menace
Father God, I just pray for forgiveness (so I gotta keep it true)
We fell off and shit got strange 'cause of distance
Wish I could get some millions in exchange for my feelings
(Make sure I keep a cut, watch out for my lil' brother)
Feel like you had it harder, we felt pain, what's the difference?
Lil' bro gon' let it bang, fuck a witness
Cold killer raised from the trenches
For my dawgs, I'd give up all the fame and the riches
Just remember my name when I'm finished

I grew up in a rough environment that turned me into a killer
For my dawgs, I'd give up all the fame and the riches
I value my friends and would give up my success for them
Just remember my name when I'm finished
I want the world to remember me even after I'm gone
Baby, this Ralph Lauren, not Lacoste
I wear designer clothes, but not the one you think
Tryna shake these toxic thoughts
I want to get rid of my negative thoughts and feelings
But if a pussy play, we knock him off
If someone tries to mess with us, we'll kill them

I might buy a Corvette with cash and not worry about a car payment
Tired of being heart broke, numb to the pain, he let his heart go
I'm tired of getting hurt, and have become emotionally numb and detached

I'm selling drugs on the street
Pull up, take his soul, we don't borrow
We'll kill someone and not owe anyone a favor for it
Fuck the opps, get money, that's the motto
We don't care about our enemies, we just want to make money
Ay, time wait for no man, I'm off this romance
Time doesn't wait for anyone, I'm not interested in love right now
She just wanna fuck to Jamie Foxx and Kanye West's "Slow Jamz"
She only wants to have sex to slow R&B songs
Been taking it slow, ain't popped a pill in a minute
I've been taking drugs at a slower pace than before
And sometimes I don't know who by my side 'cause these niggas tell me lies
I can't trust my friends because they lie to me
Got crossed too many times, you can't catch me by surprise
I've been betrayed too many times, so I'm always on guard
My mama took me to church, I'm tryna keep up with my tithes
My mother raised me to be religious, and I'm trying to give back to the church
Got a purpose, gotta step on they tops
I have a mission to succeed and defeat my enemies
I know they praying I'ma flop, they ain't know I was a blessing in disguise
People want me to fail, but they don't realize that I'm actually a gift
And I know that if I ended up in prison, they'd never ever visit
If I were to go to jail, my friends wouldn't visit me
They'd never ever send a J-Pay
They wouldn't even send me money for my prison account
I promise I'ma make it home to my lil' baby
I promise to return to my child
I promise to never ever listen to naysay
I won't let negative opinions discourage me
