"Talk" lyrics

Ayy
Woah-woah, yee
Woah-woah
Yeah (Yeah)
Woah-woah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Remember the days when I thought I was trapped
Lost all my money, then I got it back
All my potential was really untapped
I had to push all my shit to the max
Now it's a wrap, took off some time to relax
Now I'm feelin' blacker than black
Know they can't tussle with us
If I say it's up, then it's up
I don't give no damn and no fuck

Cruisin' down twenty in the all-black truck (What?)
Tryin' not to push my luck (What?)
God got a nigga on top (What?)
But ain't no tellin' what's up (Hey)
Devil got a funny way of showin' its face
I don't trip, even when I'm untied, I lace
I peeped at these niggas tryna vibe my way
Still on shore, tryna ride my wave

Crazy, I'm gon' make 'em hate me
That music, it saved me, I'm feelin' like Jay Z
'Cause I had a hard time like now a nigga in the spotlight
I bet you a nigga won't try, I promise somebody gon' die today (Woo)
That is not a threat (Woo), we gon' cash a check (Woo)
2023 be the year of the family, dawg (Family, dawg)
I'm only kickin' shit with people that understand me, dawg (Understand me, dawg)
And they do not know what this shit really takes
Since 2016, I ain't take a break
More money you make, the higher the stakes
Slow up the pace, this shit ain't a race

I had to talk to somebody on the outside
Just to tell 'em how a nigga feel inside
(Ooh, wait, wait, talk, ooh, wait, talk, wait, ooh)
I had to talk to somebody on the outside
Gettin' rid of my pride
(Ooh, wait, ooh, wait, wait, ayy, wait, wait, ayy)

I had to get out my own way, yeah, say that (Say that)
Drownin' in thoughts, was stuck in the dark
Finally got my place back (Place back)
I be feelin' too much, do I need a shrink?
Slowin' me up, do I need a drink?
Or I need to think? (Ayy)
Yeah, I need to think (Ayy, yeah)
I can't just rely on the darkest of times (Times)
It's always the problem, it's all in mind (Mind)
I'm gettin' it out and I'm hopin' to find some peace (Peace)
I'm learnin' the lessons in readin' the signs (Signs) at least
If you gotta talk, then this is your time (Time), release (Ayy, yeah)

Cruisin' down twenty in the all-black truck (What?)
Tryin' not to push my luck (What?)
God got a nigga on top (What?)
But ain't no tellin' what's up (Hey)
Devil got a funny way of showin' its face
I don't trip, even on thin ice, I skate
I peeped at these niggas tryna vibe my way
Still on shore, tryna ride my wave

I had to talk to somebody on the outside (Outside)
Just to tell 'em how a nigga feel inside (Inside, inside)
(Ooh, wait, wait, talk, ooh, wait, talk, wait, ooh)
I had to talk to somebody on the outside (Outside)
Gettin' rid of my pride (My pride, my pride, my pride)
(Ooh, wait, ooh, wait, wait, ayy, wait, wait, ayy)
I had to talk to somebody on the outside (Outside)
Just to tell 'em how a nigga feel inside (Inside, inside)
(Ooh, wait, wait, talk, ooh, wait, talk, wait, ooh)
I had to talk to somebody on the outside (Outside)
Gettin' rid of my pride (My pride, my pride, my pride)
(Ooh, wait, ooh, wait, wait, ayy, wait, wait, ayy)

Outside, inside
Yeah

In the moment when it needs to be
You talk about it
Because not everything is meant to be rushed over
Or you know, we gotta take the high road, it's like
In those moments when it really does kinda look deeper like
You know that you don't care, it's like, no, no, no
I can't let this, this one go by, I'm not gonna do that
