Can I see that lighter? Thank you, um

For this shit, man, I was struggling for so long
Pray every day, protect myself, and tote that fucking pole
I mind my business, I'm not like these niggas or these hoes
Been deceived, I know No Name'll throw them B's
I tell lil' shorty come be on the winning team, please
I told that bitch she best believe
I told that boy it's 4K Trey, I tote that beam
Oh, how the fuck you do me wrong?
Left me for a nigga that wasn't worth it like me
I put in work to be with you, he ain't deserve it like me
I was low-key in a coupe, they put the word out on me

I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me (I was blind)

One thing I ain't never do was get in my feelings
Most of these niggas never been in no trenches
None of these hoes, don't put in my business

I don't trust y'all niggas far as I can see
Most y'all hoes fuckin' more than me
Can't fuck with everybody what I learned in these streets
Niggas only show up when it's time to eat
Jump in that water, better hope you can swim
'Cause I'm tellin' you, lil' nigga, I'm playing for keeps
Master you broke hoes who ain't got shit
Want me to fuck, gotta pay for this dick
Only love I'm showing is to my fam
Tryna stay rich, give a fuck 'bout no 'Gram

Want me to save you, ho? I ain't the one

We carry Dracos that chop trees (yeah)
I get that bag and I put it up 'cause I know ain't shit free (Nah)
We was in love, I came and pulled up, I know she miss me
She ride that dick like a ten-speed
I'm with the gang, I can't switch teams
No more handcuffs, I wear APs
Take off my watch, let my wrist breathe
We been gettin' money and we been thuggin' since we was young boys
Now look at me, I just bought a foreign, the same one as YoungBoy
Go to my shows when I'm drunk, boy
My youngins, they shoot-out for fun
A convicted felon, I'm keeping my gun
It's just how we livin', we come from the slums
Now when the police pull up, we don't run
Young rich nigga, do what we want
Private jet so I'm sittin' in the front, yeah
How could you cross me? How could you cross me?
How could you cross me? How could you cross me?
How could you cross me? How could you cross me?
How could you cross me? How could you cross me?

I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me
I was blind when they crossed me (I was blind)
I was blind when they crossed me (yeah)




I was blind when they crossed me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I was blind when they crossed me (when they crossed me)
