[Intro:]
JTK.
[Chorus:]
Blood, sweat, and tears what I shed, sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining, I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way, now I gotta do this shit for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky and I meant everything that I said
For my family, gotta build a legacy, I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard, I can't slip up, so I'm clutching tight on this lead
Naw, I ain't a killer, but don't push me, I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is, ain't no looking back, don't regret the things that I did, ayy.
[Verse 1:]
System got the hood fucked up, killers, crack fiends, and some Christians
Lil' nigga, all he know is bang, only 16, on a mission, ayy
Drug money, out there serving fiends only time he show his ambition
Kid on the way, mama's bills late, gotta hustle hard, gotta get it
Block was slow so he had to rob just to make 'em smile on Christmas
Caught a case, judge ain't tryna hear all the things influenced my decisions
Hate to follow rules, elementary school all started off with suspensions
If it weren't for rapping, where would I be? I just thank God that I'm gifted
Made it to the top and I stood up, first I had to crawl in them trenches
We got hate in us, tryna murder somethin', runnin' through the field, hoppin' fences
They left blood stains on our corner, gotta spin back with a vengeance
Glock discharge, it's a man down, real gang members handle business.
[Chorus:]
Blood, sweat, and tears what I shed, sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining, I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way, now I gotta do this shit for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky and I meant everything that I said
For my family, gotta build a legacy, I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard, I can't slip up, so I'm clutching tight on this lead
Naw, I ain't a killer, but don't push me, I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is, ain't no looking back, don't regret the things that I did.
[Verse 2:]
We some young niggas, we don't give a fuck, knock a nigga head right off
Bunch of hollow shells on that crime scene, it was DOA, white chalk
I know real killers, no remorse in 'em, proud of the bodies they caught
Went through a lot and I'm only 20, it's a lot of things that I saw
Shit left me cold on the inside, feelin' like I need to unthaw
Was it to fill a void or acceptance? Lookin' at the things that I bought
I still get depressed in my mansion, contemplating, deep in my thoughts
I'm just glad that I'm still standing, it's a lot of demons I fought
Voices in my head and that gun cocked, late night rides in all black
Really come from nothin', I was on that block like the streets all that I got
I done been snaked by my own kind, so who really watchin' my back?
Know they want me gone, one up top, I'm a dead man if I lack.
[Chorus:]
Blood, sweat, and tears what I shed, sleepless nights in my bed
They only love when you shining, I won't let it get to my head
Got a lil' one on the way, now I gotta do this shit for my kid
Havin' conversations with the sky and I meant everything that I said
For my family, gotta build a legacy, I'ma be the man when I'm dead
Worked too hard, I can't slip up, so I'm clutching tight on this lead
Naw, I ain't a killer, but don't push me, I'm too close to the edge
Is what it is, ain't no looking back, don't regret the things that I did, ayy.
