"Kept My Word" lyrics
It was hard times
Dream of being known right by stop signs
Ain't the type to cry
Seen my homies cry couldn't stop mines
Share the same struggles, same trauma
We done lost guys
Plus we took some losses
It wasn't nothing but the wrong time
Didn't take my pops advice
He wanted me live an unbothered life
I ain't take his word, but I learned to be a father right
Time a cost you everything
So, I'm not into wasting time
A lot of kids get raised up by the streets
But shit I'm raising mine
Pick my kids up out of school
It feel good signing for 'em
23 and 1 neph' asks for pops
We keep on lying to 'em
I pledged allegiance to this flag without the dotted lines
Shit was all peaches until it wasn't
'Til my partner died
Band outs front my mama crib
Instilled tears in my mama's eyes
Jumped in my bitch Civic
Change the plates for I could afford a strike
Can't say I ain't had heart
When I was lacking, I for sure could fight
Trauma in my brain, 'cause it get tainted from this violent life
Please, don't judge me off my actions
Only acted off reactions
Only judge I'm stressing 'bout is that judge who hits the gavel
We take freedom for granted 'til it's "free you", 'til it's backwards
My goal was never make then crash out, that's moving backwards
Ask me what I am
I'm a father 'fore a rapper
If I lose it all
Then I'm robbing or I'm trapping
Ask me what I am
I'm a father 'fore a rapper
If I lose it all
Then I'm robbing or I'm trapping
I got dogs who murk some
Jump in Vs and swerve some
Streets taught me a lesson
It took "L"s for me to learn some
Had to put them Percs down
I can't even feel none
I told ma, "I'm thugging. Don't cry. I been in the field. Huh."
I'm just tryna get rich
Make sure that my kids up
I been tryna get smart
Lately tryna learn some
I got dogs who murk some
Jump in Vs and swerve some
Streets taught me a lesson
It took "L"s for me to learn some
I love my young life
Void inside his eyes
He was lacking affection
Every time that weapon get to busting
Adrenaline rushing
Life was never perfect
Question God when he tossing me blessings
Fell in love with drugs when I was young
Love that feeling of nothing
Free my jail birds
They ain't sang
They was plying that pressure
Grandpa used to whoop me with his buckle
Glad some I remembered
My kids is from the 'burbs
I'm forever indebted
Jump inside that strike
When it was time
I was copping me several
Lost it all and got it back
I'm just a man
That's just part of our presence
If I can't walk in with my weapon
Told my bitch that I'll wait in my Benz
A hundred thousands had to stretch it
Nobody taught me how spend it correctly
If you ain't let your weapon off or take a risk, then it's "Fuck your opinion"
I'm mixing Percys with the Addies
Tryna stay awake or sleep
I see who with me through my darkest times
I peeped who went and leaved
50 for this piece
Another dub to white my teeth
But that shit don't mean none to me
If I can't live in peace or feed
I got dogs who murk some
Jump in Vs and swerve some
Streets taught me a lesson
It took "L"s for me to learn some
Had to put them Percs down
I can't even feel none
I told ma, "I'm thugging. Don't cry. I been in the field. Huh."
I'm just tryna get rich
Make sure that my kids up
I been tryna get smart
Lately tryna learn some
I got dogs who murk some
Jump in Vs and swerve some
Streets taught me a lesson
It took "L"s for me to learn some
Had to put them Percs down
I can't even feel none
