They thought I was gone, back from the grave Mind of a master, blood of a slave Heart of a king, stuck in between The devil and the angel on my shoulder when I speak Lost in the streets, found on the beat Still kept a clip, asked and got it for cheap Now I'm in a world where they pray for the weak Stand up niggas, take shots to the knees Lord have mercy, pray for me Need to calm down so pass me the weed Got me stressed out, situations look bleak Time's running out, how my days turn to weeks? Up all night, toss and turn when I sleep Pacing around, drowning sorrows in my drink Can't even think, got my mind wrapped up But I still bite down, clench my teeth, knuckle up I'ma keep going, you cannot blame us Never look back, I would never change up Never look back, I would never change up Never look back, I would never change up I'ma keep going, you cannot blame us Never look back, I would never change up Never look back, I would never change up Never look back, I would never Every other day, always some shit I'm the underdog but I'm never over it Gotta keep a grip when the rent due Niggas tryna get you for every last cent Ain't no pretend, ain't tryna make ammends Just tryna keep my legacy on legend in the end So never try to sin, 'cause you could get bent 'Cause I protect from beginning to the end Lord have mercy, pray for me Distanced from my friends, enemies close to me Gotta stay alert, things change in a blink Gotta stay woke, they all in a deep sleep Up all night, toss and turn when I sleep Pacing around, drowning sorrows in a drink Can't even think, got my mind wrapped up But I still bite down, clench my teeth, knuckle up
