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
