"Can't Be Us" lyrics
I want you to feel this shit
It's me
Fivi
I stayed at home fightin' my demons alone, but prayin'
Watchin' how the gangsters do it
I stood alone watchin' the walls in my zone, now I'm on
'Cause that's just how the gangsters do it
Or I'm runnin', the devil took everything he wanted
Ten toes down, I've been a hunnid
And every bag I get, I'm goin' runnin'
Look, 'cause I've been drippin' and ballin', I can't give up
No, I ain't slippin' or fallin', that can't be us (Nah)
That can't be us
That can't be us
God sent signs and I read 'em
'Cause they can't do nothin' to you unless you let em
Supposed to give them one chance and then dead em
Shit, I gave em like seven
Shit, I thought they were my brethren, that's then
They was in my heart, but I cured that infection
I could've lost it all when a nigga got arrested
That's why I thank God for these awards and these blessings
They wanna rap too 'cause they see how rap changed my life
But lightnin' never strike in the same spot twice
Can I live? They said I couldn't do it and I did
Bitch, I'm the same Fivi Foreign since a kid
Bitch, I'm the same Fivi Foreign since the crib
I started shinin' and them niggas stopped comin' to my vids
I remember, nigga, nigga, them niggas know what it is
I stayed at home fightin' my demons alone, but prayin'
Watchin' how the gangsters do it
I stood alone watchin' the walls in my zone, now I'm on
'Cause that's just how the gangsters do it
Or I'm runnin', the devil took everything he wanted
Ten toes down, I've been a hunnid
And every bag I get, I'm goin' runnin'
Look, 'cause I've been drippin' and ballin', I can't give up
No, I ain't slippin' or fallin', that can't be us
That can't be us
That can't be us
Let me tell you what's emotional
That they can only touch you if they close to you
I'm a million dollar man, nigga, look at what these vocals do
The first time you ever said my name I was over you
RIP Lakimah, RIP Yvette
I was raised by a angel, I was taught by the best
And when gang went to war, they almost shot him to death
And he laid in my door, on the floor by the steps
This is real nigga, I thank God for all my real niggas
I pray that God give me strength so I can deal with them
I don't know who gon' back door, so I don't feel niggas
But I done been through so much pain, I start to heal quicker
I know they mad over the 'Gram
Nigga, I'm mad that I ever gave you a chance
Yeah, I love this life, but I choose my family over my fans (Any day)
Nigga, that's what make me a man
I stayed at home fightin' my demons alone, but prayin'
Watchin' how the gangsters do it
I stood alone watchin' the walls in my zone, now I'm on
'Cause that's just how the gangsters do it
Or I'm runnin', the devil took everything he wanted
Ten toes down, I've been a hunnid
And every bag I get, I'm goin' runnin'
Look, 'cause I've been drippin' and ballin', I can't give up
No, I ain't slippin' or fallin', that can't be us
That can't be us
That can't be us
It's me
