| Washing out cigarettes in the bathroom
|
| Should probably only give my opinion when I’m asked to
|
| I’m really good at telling the half truth but usually only when I have to
|
| The money doesn’t work, the chain doesn’t work
|
| Something broken in my brain, got me praying in the dirt
|
| Got me stranded in my bed like I’m laying in the hearse
|
| And the grass is always greener when you play on astroturf
|
| Wonder why my generation poppin' pills and poppin' percs
|
| And got some weed and got some purp
|
| And got some bars and got some syurp
|
| And got some Jordan’s on my feet, I went and matched them with my shirt
|
| And I just instagrammed them both to show you that I got them first
|
| Got a Louis duffel bag, I got my girl a purse
|
| I’m tryna find God through a purchase, I’m not tryna go to church
|
| Amen, satan told me not to serve, I only think about myself, I only think about
|
| my work
|
| I only think about my come-up, capitalism
|
| Look at where we come from, we are what we run from
|
| We are why we smoke some, so numb, so numb, so numb
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to know
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to hear
|
| Cause the truth would be too much
|
| Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to know
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to hear
|
| Cause the truth would be too much
|
| Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
|
| I cry when she smile with her eyes closed
|
| I’m already afraid to tight clothes
|
| I want all her best friends to be white folks
|
| I scratched out this line so many times, I can’t forget it
|
| It’s fucked up, I almost say it every time that I edit
|
| I swear rapping make it easy to lie
|
| But secrets don’t make it easy to write
|
| I met the devil in Manhattan, quickly ended discussion
|
| I don’t need a thing, he warned of repercussions
|
| But I know he come in all forms, that won’t be his last visit
|
| Time is moving fast and I’m running with a pair of scissors
|
| Looking in the mirror like, «Damn that ain’t my dad, is it?»
|
| He handed the torch but he ain’t hold my hand did it?
|
| I spent a plenty penny on microphones, many midis
|
| Any of those cities, I put the indie in Windy City
|
| Indian giver, Black father, White liar
|
| Right next to Yeezy like Mike Myers
|
| Stare at the cue cards, take out the juke parts
|
| Take out the God references, just leave the cool parts
|
| I remember opening for Ben, wasn’t no liquor at the show
|
| And now the white girls call me nigga at my show
|
| I wish that I could open twice, sit down at the open mic
|
| Go back to the day before I became famous over night
|
| I wish that I could open twice, sit down at the open mic
|
| Go back to the day before I became famous over night
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to know
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to hear
|
| Cause the truth would be too much
|
| Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to know
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to hear
|
| Cause the truth would be too much
|
| Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to know
|
| I’m a tell you what you need to hear
|
| Cause the truth would be too much
|
| Yeah the truth would be, yeah the truth would be… okay |
