It is what it is, it was what it was

Yeah... Hey...
Confrontation is confirmation
I can't make a decision just based on observation
Cause when your energy's off I need a conversation
But you're too comfortable with strangers for validation
Yeah... I think I'm losing patience
You niggas get too comfortable
But no more Mr. Nice Guy that shit insufferable
I choose violence so fuck being vulnerable
Cause when I chose silence man that shit had me uncomfortable
And if I'm being honest dawg, that shit is not recoverable
Don't go hating yourself tryna be loveable
Don't go catching on feelings, acting untouchable
Don't ignore your gut feeling always being gullible
Cause lately to me it seems like loyalty is adjustable nigga
Yeah... But we move right?
Sad generation, all 'em Twitter Likes don't prove you right
Being alive sucks till you come close to losing life
So choose life
Cause if it doesn't hurt, then it's not love
That shit always comes with the pain nigga, package deal
Gotta keep it moving though baby, otherwise you never heal
One thing consistent is the karma wheel
That's just me, that's how I feel
I never fake a smile I just to uh...
No more complaints about the industry from me
Fuck talent, fuck hardwork nigga just pay the fee
You got kiss the right asses don't be like me
Get your fake smile game up nigga, you wanna eat?
Cause every time you check the line up, it's on repeat
She's gotta sacrifice her ass too, just to get a seat
Ma'fuckers don't understand man, this shit gets deep
That's why niggas get coked up and they can't sleep
Imagine staring at the mirror and you can't see you
Just a brand that you built up to try and feed you
And the brands are watching nigga so you can't speak truth
No fumbling the bag so you can't be you
Then you're the reason why niggas wanna be like you
They figure doing it like you is guaranteed Ws
Then it's You versus self like an Ang Lee flick
And then you realize all that shit don't mean shit

Yeah,
Confrontation is confirmation
I'm not surprised that it ended with no communication
I'm just confused how you made it about remuneration
Then took it personal just to protect your reputation
It's all a simulation,
This whole time I avoided making a speculation
This whole time I've been waiting to have a conversation
But you would rather pay lawyers to make a mediation
Yeah,
Tribulations and trials,
Suddenly you demanding exaggerated amounts
Got me thinking I should've left solo back in the south
You niggas never deserved to step foot in my momma house
Can't believe they switched the narrative around
Everybody said I'm the reason the crew was falling out
When I'm the reason why certain niggas could put an album out
And I'm the reason why everybody's familiar with them now
And everybody would vouch
I did it even though the industry wouldn't allow
I guess I'll only get my flowers when I'm buried in the ground
Unfortunately it's too late to reconcile
Whatever's in the past, I'm leaving it all behind
I took a wrong turn cause I wasn't reading the signs
Took me four years to figure all of it out
It was only holding me back tryna hold you niggas down
I said what I said,
Regretted it over the years
It is what it is,
One bucket and two tears
I did what I did,
That's the reason I'm still here
But like Jimmy Hoffa, they want me to disappear
These young niggas treating my verses like souvenirs
You downplaying my story just because they told you theirs
All I wanted was to make that list,
Until I realised that all that shit don't mean shit
