Don't Believe The Hype

(album: THE GOAT - 2020)

Niggas saying they the goat, but I can't buy into the hype
I dig deep into my spirit when I spit into the mic
All them sit-downs in that county made me think about my life
Went through some tragedies, I made it out to make it right
I was doing drugs just to get me through the night
They weren't with me through my struggle, all this shit I sacrifice
I climbed out the darkness, now my Patek shining bright
I been balling just for you, I put y'all faces in my ice

I got a problem, it's no problem, my lil' brother gon' get him
Before he hopped up off that porch, we always knew it was in him
Don't give no fuck, the twins gone, anywhere, she was with him
He said them niggas ain't been sliding and this crowd don't fit him
He want all them niggas there, it's sad to say but I feel him
If I ain't had so much to lose, I'd be risking there with him
Always rap about the gas 'cause I genuinely miss him
Five years later, thousand tears later, still feel like the day when they hit him
Make sure I always say y'all name so ain't no way they forget him
Gon' always feel like fuck the opps 'cause nigga, I can't forgive 'em
I got that up off the mud, I spend 10k on my Demins
Snakes in disguise, they try to love you with a heart full of feelings

Niggas saying they the goat, but I can't buy into the hype
I dig deep into my spirit when I spit into the mic
All them sit-downs in that county made me think about my life
Went through some tragedies, I made it out to make it right
I was doing drugs just to get me through the night
They weren't with me through my struggle, all this shit I sacrifice
I climbed out the darkness, now my Patek shining bright
I been balling just for you, I put y'all faces in my ice

We pop out taper shit, like who need a trail?
And here a hater got me wondering can we forgive?
Everybody got they input on how we should live
Oh, life on the road, I barely see the crib
FaceTime the fam, my son smiln' there, I took my call
Back then, I slipped up, I got artwork up on them county walls
I sign a contract like Carmelo, I'm just tryna ball
Not the time, before we blessed him, he been tryna stall
Got smoke for hopping in this shit, he shouldn't have got involved
Them R.I.P.s put him to sleep like he off Tylenol
How he gon' tweak them boys crazy? They ain't got it all
You know my pain and you my brother, I'm gon' ride for y'all

Niggas saying they the goat, but I can't buy into the hype
I dig deep into my spirit when I spit into the mic
All them sit-downs in that county made me think about my life
Went through some tragedies, I made it out to make it right
I was doing drugs just to get me through the night
They weren't with me through my struggle, all this shit I sacrifice
I climbed out the darkness, now my Patek shining bright
I been balling just for you, I put y'all faces in my ice, oh
