checking on me

(album: Fashion Helps Depression - 2023)

Aye yo, flex you're wilding

I did my dirt, paid my dues to prove myself
Had to climb up that dope hole, I ain't need no help
A lot of gun fire, lot a nigga died, I said fuck 'em oh, well

I did my dirt, paid my dues to prove myself
Had to climb up that dope hole, I ain't need no help
A lot of gun fire, lot a nigga died, I said fuck 'em oh, well
When it go down ain't nobody round watch all of 'em bail

Ooh, nah, nah, nah I made a way
I separated, got some money, I played it safe
Ooh, nah, nah, nah I made a way
They weren't checking on me, they were flexing on me

Run around in the skeet, yeah I'm a concrete baby
Everybody dipped on a nigga switched on me
I can't wait until I make it, they ain't getting shit from me
Used to shit on me, my own partner went and snaked me
He wrote it all in a statement
Vow to keep it real, never change
Vow to keep it real, never switch

I was just down on my dick, I ain't even ask for a thing
I was just bagging up nicks
I'll do it all for the win, I'll bet it all myself
Give me the drop and I'ma spin, Ion need help, I'ma step

I'll go step alone, I'm a black sheep
I don't feel attached, I ain't got a happy home
Ever had to watch the words you say talking on the jail phone
I'm full of pain, they killed my nigga, I gotta catch a dome
But I'm still holding on

I did my dirt, paid my dues to prove myself
Had to climb up that dope hole, I ain't need no help
A lot of gun fire, lot a nigga died, I said fuck 'em oh, well
When it goes down ain't nobody round watch all of 'em bail

Ooh, nah, nah, nah, I made a way
I separated, got some money, I played it safe
Ooh, nah, nah, nah, I made a way
They weren't checking on me, they were flexing on me

I had a brother he was lost off in the drug game
Started snitching on me, should have left him there with a blood stain
And the years go by, and I never said another word to him
Called him a snake when I'd refer to him
Wish I had the words confused
'Cause it hurts to lose, been dead for a month before I even heard the news

Now I can't let nobody close, I keep a switch off to the side
'Cause some of the 'em switch sides
Fuck it, I earned my respect
'Cause I paid my dues

Fucked around and made the news
Tryna prove myself, ain't nothing for me in that cell uh
Only hope comes in an envelope, I am afraid to say
It's time to make a way
It's time to make a way

I did my dirt, paid my dues to prove myself
Had to climb up that dope hole, I ain't need no help
A lot of gun fire, lot a nigga died, I said fuck 'em oh, well
When it go down ain't nobody round watch all of 'em bail

Ooh, nah, nah, nah, I made a way
I separated, got some money, I played it safe
Ooh, nah, nah, nah, I made a way
They weren't checking on me, they were flexing on me
