Cruel World

(album: Far From Familiar - 2016)

[Sylvan LaCue:]
I pray you never leave me
Don't let this cruel world deceive me
I'm still working my whole life
Still tryna run and they [?]

I pray you never leave me
Don't let this cruel world deceive me
I'm still working my whole life
Still tryna run and they [?]

I pray you never leave me
Don't let this cruel world deceive me
I'm still working my whole life
Still tryna run and they [?]

Money, women, and chaos
Blinded by the allure, promise land of the payoff
Rose gold and victors, little time, the trade off
All for the the radar
Nights in Calabasas, offers from Medusa
Liquor fountains abroad
Lost city of angels, overthrown by the stars
Landscapes and hugs
Handshakes and drugs
Party favors from strangers, no registration for love
When lust heals your soul
Validation from demons, my trust kneels below
How you fuck up the money and still rush the show?
Over stating my messages
Way too many chains to be hung up on this necklace
Hennessy for supper, two ibuprofens for breakfast
These lost nights nice, but the mornings be treacherous
I know I should'a kept it the God way
Bout' to do it again, hate to learn it the hard way
Peace, nigga

I pray you never leave me
Don't let this cruel world deceive me
I'm still working my whole life
Still tryna [?]

I pray you never leave me
Don't let this cruel world deceive me
I'm still working my whole life
Still tryna [?]

I pray you never leave me
Don't let this cruel world deceive me
I'm still working my whole life
Still tryna [?]

Cadence, uh
Flow get to choppin like I'm jaden
Time will only tell if I was ready
Fuck being petty, I could never concentrate on something I don't give a shit about
Rolling through the city with some homies who don't ever think twice
Used be the man, they say
Used to have it all, now you climbing from the bottom
Fickle man, how can I approach this
They love you they hate you, they love you again
Roman with the pen
Ziggler with the execution
Let the story begin
These niggas told me I was scared of being *bleep* (I AIN'T SCARED NIGGA I AIN'T SCARED)
Fuck it, I ain't even judging
Back when I was sidelined
Mouth shut, waves out in public
Now it's me and my squad
Wise till' I die
Fuck about what I said on my last record, stop asking
Tip top fashion, I rose from the ashes
A phoenix could never compare to me
This shit is like air to me
You niggas trying to hard
I barely give effort with it, been praying for my brother
16 in the world where these xan's flooding
Gotta check a nigga
Hate to see my youngn's nodding out before they catch a bigger peak of the world that we lost in
Often I go off in a tangent speaking on this bullshit game
Only rapping so you mothafuckas feel my pain
And what I get? 25 living
Swear to God it's a blessing a black male even made it alive
Still got homies in the grave a surprise
If it wasn't me I, could've probably ended up like B-I-G
Niggas woulda had me rap sheet, T.I
See my reasoning for being in a position I'm in is progress
Beyond cycles niggas following
Ain't enough to suck the dick, muhfuckas is swallowing
Still I say solomon I miss when real nigga prevailed & the weak squandered in minutes theory appolo'ing...

This shit is elementary
I need a bad bitch, chemistry, and some peace of mind over Hennessy
Fuck any enemy, no befriending me
Please, I still get offers
No dickriders man, please get off us
Cops killing kids man, please don't off us
And all we wanna do is set up shops in office
I'm a kill it, I promise that's how I know ya mad
Started treating my city like some shoulder pads
Successful its stressful but best believe I'm the one to bring excitement back
Nonbelievers, no time for that
Why you think a nigga up and left last year
It's looking like the game need more change, and I'mma be the mothafuckin cashier
Like that
