Oh, oh, oh, ah, ah
Mama told me, “Son, just keep your faith strong”
I’ve been fightin’ demons, they won’t leave me alone
Now it’s cold tryna sleep with this iron by my side
Lost too many real ones, made my heart divide
Money come and go, but the pain still stay
I done bled for this life, still pray everyday
Standin’ in the dark, tryna find that flame
Every time I rise, I’m reminded of the pain
I learned to cry alone, stayed at a necklace ’cause I’ma die alone
Sent a couple kites to the troopers that’s doin’ time alone
Wasn’t no hood hoppin’, adoptions are tryna find a home
‘Cause early on, I knew where I belonged, yeah, I know my partner wrong
Long as he ain’t told, then we could fix it
Your mama like my mama, bitch, we siblings
Left me at my lowest, hate that she ain’t see the vision
Judge you off your D’s, but I appreciate intentions
When it get risky, we risk it
It get ugly, just visit
‘Fore he died, he hit my line, I seen his call, shouldn’t missed it
From getting expelled to suspended, kept disappointin’ my mama
Wait ’til the point we finally popped, ain’t gotta ask me for nada
Mama told me, “Son, just keep your faith strong”
I’ve been fighting demons, they won’t leave me alone
Now it’s cold trying to sleep with this iron by my side
Lost too many real ones, made my heart divide
Keep my faith in the Most High, these niggas playin’ both sides
They feel like my success wouldn’t occur without cosigns
Aladdin paid in full, I just needed three cosigners
If you surpass thirty in these streets, you’re an old timer
When niggas thinkin’ Cali, it’s more than khakis and lowest riders
Thinkin’ ’bout lil’ Gracie and the Derana, was both minors
Can’t go out like Ratorda, I’m a target, I’m totin’ fire
Noochie did a dub his first conviction with no priors, he on the way
Them tears is permanent for gangs, tatted on his face
“I like to utilize my rights” is all he had to say
We went from kickin’ in the neighbor’s doors and crackin’ safes
To havin’ issues clearin’ OTMs while at the bank
I got him righteous just for signin’ when that package came
We bleed the same, long as our rag the same
And CPS would make me have to change
Like fuck these accolades, but made her proud ‘fore Brenda passed away, yeah
Mama told me, “Son, just keep your faith strong”
I’ve been fighting demons, they won’t leave me alone
Now it’s cold trying to sleep with this iron by my side
Lost too many real ones, made my heart divide
Lord, I’ve been strugglin’ in pain
I washed these tears away again
Lord, I’ve been holdin’ my faith
I’m out here where my heart can’t take
