When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes I know you're crying, you was dying And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs You couldn't fight it, can't live without it Nah, I don't cry It's sad, but shit happens sometimes What's harder, finding happiness or family ties? In the loop, it be the beauty with the tragic behind Nobody has a clue what we had to do to survive We brothers, so it's nothing when we argue and fight It's us, against the world until the world unite Sometimes, I hear your voice, but ain't no one in sight When you talk, words cut like a knife But nah, I don't cry I can't see 'em falling down my eyes Everybody got a therapist, I'd rather get high When they ask me how I'm doing, I feel guilty inside Niggas dying meanwhile, I'm having the time of my life When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes I know you're crying, you was dying And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs You couldn't fight it, can't live without it You mad I made lucrative ties You in a bind I'm not, so you feelin' tight Exuberant heights, the flight long I'm too busy fried for you and your plight (I'm high) (For real) Stupid advice I piled on you You was frugal in life, spent too many nights booted Lived too many lives Removed from the strife You was in tune when I rised, I rose I suppose what you doin' with your nose in the white, ain't nobody business but your own Whole time I'm livin' by the code Roll tide, crimson spillin' out of my soul 'Cause a fissure in the mold Niggas different that's just how it go When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes I know you're crying, you was dying And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs You couldn't fight it, can't live without it I feel like ain't nobody caring Everybody's scared Is there anybody here? I feel like everybody's staring But they don't see me here Am I really by myself? I feel like ain't nobody caring Everybody's scared Is there anybody here?
