In the dark days, I told you it was tough
In the dark days, I told you it was hard
What ya did, nigga, you left me

Yeah, in the dark days, I told you it was tough
In the dark days, I told you it was hard
What ya did, nigga, you left me
What ya did, nigga, you left me
Now I'm back on my feet, get the money legit
Remember used to trap Selling all that shit down for that G
Got me running from the police like I got me a fee
I pray the Lord forgive me for everything that I did on G
Prolly got too many hoes, I wish my heart was free
Amazed by the life that I live, Amazed by the shit that I did
Got me thinking why we live to die
It got me thinking why we live to die
Hoping we gon make it out, knowing if we play right
We gon have our way now Going through the downtown
Got me thinking why we live to die
You got me thinking why we live to die
In the dark days, I told you it was tough
In the dark days, I told you it was hard
What ya did, nigga, you left me
What ya did, nigga, you left me
Yeah, in the dark days, I told you it was tough
In the dark days, I told you it was hard
What ya did, nigga, you left me
What ya did, nigga, you left me
Yeah, I been going through the pain alone
Knowing that the money gon' get long
I don't wanna feel among
I just want my peace, And make sure that my momma strong
But this shit got my mental it got them going off
Like a soccer Field you know I'm still gon' Kick off
Trapping like my nigga until I'mma see God
Get my money, you know I been going way up
Going extra hard hoping that a nigga don't flop
Cause I'm up and we up then
Dark days, I told you it was tough
In the dark days, I told you it was hard
What ya did, nigga, you left me
What ya did, nigga, you left me
Yeah, in the dark days, I told you it was tough
In the dark days, I told you it was hard
What ya did, nigga, you left me
What ya did, nigga, you left me

Lyrics:
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more I'm somebody's reward
Yeah, I gave a good vibes
Oh, you had a good run
I'm far from a regular person
All my cars parked in my garage
I give them six thousand, they have a ball
My wrist freaky like in that waterfall
I'm preaching to you so listen up
Only real ones with me, no mirage
She use her brain like curriculum
Money keep calling, I'm picking up
I'm in Manhattan, going up
I'm 'bout to give her the wicked love
I'm at the top, at the pinnacle
Only you haters get ridiculed
I'm at the gold Fendi shoot
Been 'bout that paper since middle school
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Yeah, I gave off good vibes
Oh, you had a good run
I'm far from a regular person
All my cars parked inside my garage
You know I would never leave you guessing
You know I could never have you stressing
You don't even ever have to question
I'm invested so I put my best in, ah
Baby, my love unconditional
It's about more than material
Don't leave me hanging out in the cold
Some things I don't need to know but
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward

Oh, you had a good run
I'm far from a regular person
All my cars parked inside my garage
