Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Keep peace with my enemies
Self love for my sanity
Where do I belong in here
Why am I not welcome here

Stay true
Stay true
Stay true
True

Trying to make with no label in my motherland
No love for the money, maybe couple bands
I got some feelings left for ya
And you know where just to find me
Been away for a while still can't find someone like me

She be asking for the paper
Pullin' out clean yeah she suckin' on my vapour
Took a trip trying to runaway from my issues it's out of hand
And I tried to warn you don't get in my way when it's purely business

And I've had a feelin' for ya
You can smell the green on me now
And I'm about to light it up
At least she's still rolling for me now

Keep peace with my enemies
Self love for my sanity
Where do I belong in here
Why am I not welcome here

Stay true
Stay true
Stay true
True

Can you stay with me till the end?
I wanna show you off this, til i die
Look what im doing it's almost banned
I'm not a lying i'm on a skyline

So many hobbies from the music i go
So we are top 3 in like chicago
I'm so sorry I don't know who it is
Nobody like us just curious

Yeah I'm a MF independent
I'm never gonna depend on it
You so afraid of me
Ya already know they'll be feeding me

Keep peace with my enemies
Self love for my sanity
Where do I belong in here
Why am I not welcome here

Stay true
Stay true




Stay true
True
