"Believe Me" lyrics

Yea I need you to believe me
Please forgive if they deceive me
Yea let me talk my

Before you last inside my shoes, you gotta live my life
Before you look death in the eyes, you gotta risk your life
Before you get closer to God, you gotta live your life
Own up to the consequence or pay a different price

When I speak to God, he be like, "I can't lie, this kid is nice."
Just a couple years ago, I was looking at my niggas like
"We gon' make it out the hood, I'm not gon' lie, I did it twice."
Intoxicated, I was putting up with shit I didn't like

Anything to numb myself and make my dumb ass feel alright
If niggas act fly, we gon' put 'em on a different flight

As I walk through the valley, I see shadows in the alley
Glad my grandma in Miami, 'cause I ain't going back to Cali
'Cause I don't wanna lose my life
I know I gamble with it, I'm just tryna do shit right

Don't let niggas in your circle; they just gon' get used to the hype
Everything I do is bulletproof, can't let them shoot me like dice

Fucking 'round, I coulda probably overdosed a couple times
I was tryna put my circle on top like the number nine
Outta every phone number, niggas always seem to remember mine
Yea let me talk my

Where I'm from, the summers cold and the winters hot
Collect heat from the stove, and we cook crack in the dinner pot
I ain't never have to cook it, but my mother did
I made a vow to not tell a soul what my brothers did

You move your mother out the hood, don't tell 'em where your mother live
Once evil creeps up on that soul you told, prepare for other shit
I only show love and give out trust under one condition:
That you hold it down, but nowadays, niggas be snitching

I'm sorry if I treat you different

Yea
But I need you to believe me
Please forgive if they deceive me

I need you to believe me
I need you to believe me
I need you to believe me
I need you to believe me
I need you to believe me
I need you to believe me...
