Exhale
Trae tha Truth Lyrics

Everything fucked up
Everything is going wrong in my life

Stress got me under pressure
Feeling overwhelmed and anxious due to stress

Still feel like I'm blessed when all / My life I was ducking stretchers
Despite the hardships I've faced and evading dangerous situations, I still feel fortunate

Never see me folding
I will never give up or back down

I'd be damned if I ever let ya
I would be strongly opposed to allowing that to happen

Everything they try to throw / I fade it and play the catcher
I handle and overcome every challenge and obstacle they throw at me

They see us in the, nigga, fuck it / Who wants the drama?
They notice us, but we don't care about their opinions or conflicts

The truth of definition of pressure / That's on my mama
I know firsthand what true pressure feels like, and I swear it's true

Got a attitude like who out here / Trippin'? Back on my BS
I have a defiant attitude towards those causing trouble or provoking me, returning to my old self

Had me oull up in that black / Black mask like this Wakanda
I had to show up wearing a black mask, just like the fictional land of Wakanda

Still banned worldwide / The radio got me blocked been a battle
I'm still facing restrictions and being censored globally, it's been a constant struggle

I been fightin' for ten and wouldn't stop / Couple niggas I was cool, we cool / How I was knocked
I've been fighting tirelessly for a decade and won't give up, even though some people I used to be friends with turned against me

Now I went up on my stock and / My partner is what they next
Now that my value has increased, everyone wants to be associated with me

Everybody turn to clowns for clout / You on some shit
People are willing to do ridiculous things for fame and attention, but I'm not interested in that

Sick of people out here selling / They soul to get attention with this nigga
I'm tired of people compromising their values just to gain popularity by collaborating with me

Catch a shot to the face behind a mention / Should have listened now they know it / Was tension with no extensions
They will face consequences and receive criticism after trying to provoke me verbally without thinking, now they realize there was tension without any further actions

Social media, they tough / But in person them niggas weak
People act tough and bold on social media, but in reality, they are weak and powerless

You ain't in it for the problem? Then / Why the fuck would you speak
If you're not involved in the situation or willing to confront it, why would you even bother saying anything?

Gon' be tracked the way I / Ball up on my first, run in your cheek
You'll witness and remember how I confidently confront and dominate any challenge, leaving a mark on your face from my first hit

Make me pull up to your spot / I been watchin' it 'bout a week
I'll come to your location, I've been observing and monitoring it for about a week

Yeah, I was in a foreign whip summer / Backseat in the recliner
Yeah, I was cruising in an exotic car during the summer, sitting comfortably in the backseat

Lights lookin' like a crip / Tip told me not to snip
The lights on the car resemble the color associated with a gang, but I was advised not to draw unnecessary attention

Cool but I ain't gon' slip / Can't nobody ride the wave / Try and I'ma sink your ship
I may seem calm, but I won't make a mistake. No one can ride the success I've achieved, and if they try, I will make sure they fail

Swear you niggas make me sick (Make me sick) / Hustle 'til I make it rich
I swear you guys disgust me. I will continue working hard until I become wealthy

Real niggas never switch / That was word to your bitch
Genuine individuals never change their loyalty. I'm stating this as a fact, and even your girlfriend knows it

City on my back, when I'm needed / They know I got it
When the city needs me, I carry the responsibility and they trust that I can handle it

Go to running at your mouth / I'ma check it wit' no deposit
If you start talking disrespectfully, I will confront you without hesitation or any requirement for a guarantee

No matter what it is, I can cross you / I get you dotted
Regardless of the situation, I have the ability to defeat or surpass you. I can leave you marked or defeated

Go to playing' how I play it / Green light it and get you spotted
I will act according to my own rules. If I give you permission to proceed, you will attract attention and be noticed

Haters wanna reach for the crown / Tell 'em "Relax" everybody got opinions
Those who envy me try to claim the title I hold. I tell them to calm down because everyone has their own opinions

Ain't nothin' about it facts any problem / I address it and kill it like it's a track
There's nothing factual about the issue at hand. I handle and eliminate it just like I would with a music track

If you nowhere on my level, hit youngin / Tell him "Attack"
If you're not even close to my level, contact a young person and tell them to come and confront me

Lived to the test, nigga, I'm solid / You better knew it this ain't for the weak
I've proven myself in challenging situations, I'm reliable and strong. You better understand that this is not something weak individuals can handle

If you're gangster, you better show it / Everything you love will get took / Before you know it
If you claim to be tough, you better prove it. Everything you hold dear will be taken away from you before you realize it

All you got is you and your word / Don't ever blow it (Aahhhh)
The only thing you truly have is your integrity and reputation. Don't ever ruin it
