Half A Man
Staxx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Aim for the top we gon aim for the bonnet
And it's D.T.B n**** for life cause these bitches ain't honest
And you can't even try to trust now no one's about it
Said she was done she not claiming nobody
She cheating on me now she saying I'm sorry
Bag on me
I got more than a bag on me
Imma roll up a pack smoke away the pain

Even though it's bad for me
Momma told me to stack for a rainy day
Now we do it casually
Got my foot on the gas ducking from the jakes
Cause I know they after me
My momma told me never lie to me
Father told me not to water weeds
Told my brothers we gon make it
I just hope nobody die on me
I don't see no competition
It's just me against the other side of me
Gotta stab me in my back cause
They can't even get beside of me
She said she wanted a Clyde
I said that's ironic I wanted a Bonnie
But it's D.T.B I don't trust nobody, only the money
And everyone throwing shots I wouldn't bet on em
Everyone said I won't get it I got it
Everyone said that they spinning I doubt it
You better not run if you tripping you falling
I turned my dreams to reality
Now everybody say they mad at me
How you gonna turn your back on me
But when you need me call me family
We started out with a bag of weed
Can't make a wife out battry
Know he ain't got the audacity
To bring up something from the past to me
I know he won't bring up the past me
Before we could ride in the front had to ride in the backseat
I been tryna make it for so many years
And the pillow felt so many tears
And his age ain't even 20 years
But he serving 20 something years
What you know about having a panic attack, while you're looking yourself in the mirror
And there's snot running down your nose, hoping to yourself that nobody hears
And you telling yourself that you're tired, and gotta be rich by the end of the year
I just want you to know that I feel you
I know you just need someone to hear you
But just know that the money won't heal you
Aim for the top we gon aim for the bonnet
And it's D.T.B n**** for life cause these bitches ain't honest
And you can't even try to trust now no one's about it
Said she was done she not claiming nobody
She cheating on me now she saying I'm sorry
Put in the work man I didn't get lucky
How is you talking and getting no money
Everything they said I couldn't I done it
Man even my lowest moments is above em
Really I don't gotta prove what I done
I lost more times than I won
I be outside on my ones
You live by the gun you die by the gun
Aim for the top we gon aim for the bonnet
But it's D.T.B I don't trust nobody, only the money
And you can't even try to trust now no one's about it
Said she was done she not claiming nobody
She cheating on me now she saying I'm sorry
Wanted a Clyde and I wanted a Bonnie
And it's D.T.B n**** for life cause these bitches ain't honest
And everyone throwing shots I wouldn't bet on em

Everyone said I won't get it I got it
You better not run if you tripping you falling
