Honest

(album: Hardaway - 2019)

You ain't my friend you my brother my nigga we tied in
Never run from beef my niggas was caught in
I was caught up in the streets no time for college
Know these hoes ain't shit if we just being honest
Everything don't last like a broken promise
You ain't never been to jail you don't know what time is
Had my back against the wall you know I was boxed in
I'm the voice of the streets ain't promoting violence

Understand where I come, gotta understand my life
I got demons on the left of me and angels on the right
Illegal search I beat the case you gotta stand up on your rights
You bitch niggas acting hard you remind me of some dykes
Cuz you streets don't love you
Hoes ain't for you
Never had no big homies
They'll lil boi you
Moment that you make you make it they be acting like they made you
Thank the judge for that time that's the only thing that saved you
I'm just trying bring the hope in the city where I come from
Even in the night young niggas wanna come up
Play the block overtime with the sticks till the sun up
It's getting hot bodies dropping in the middle of the summer

You ain't my friend you my brother my nigga we tied in
Never run from beef my niggas was caught in
I was caught up in the streets no time for college
Know these hoes ain't shit if we just being honest
Everything don't last like a broken promise
You ain't never been to jail you don't know what time is
Had my back against the wall you know I was boxed in
I'm the voice of the streets ain't promoting violence

You know I'm lying we applying pressure nigga on the opps
Mask down walk ups ain't gone let a nigga tell
Seen a nigga sit for 5 years and came home great
Stitch lip keep it solid they didn't even have a case
Indictments fed RICOS getting scary
Young nigga in the mirror I was screaming Bloody Mary
Shit embedded in my mind
Against the [?] like I'm [?]
Divorced the nigga for his Ms that's why these hoes I never marry
Gotta practice what you preach
Keep the metal in my reach
When you take a soul nigga it be hard for you to sleep
Got the drop right now we gone sit on it for weeks
Bouncing out of work vans like we bouta clean the streets
The same niggas that you was winning with they ain't never seen shit
Only got yo kids and yo mama and a visit
No support when the trial came time for the [?]
Life fucked up made decisions that I'm living with

You ain't my friend you my brother my nigga we tied in
Never run from beef my niggas was caught in
I was caught up in the streets no time for college
Know these hoes ain't shit if we just being honest
Everything don't last like a broken promise
You ain't never been to jail you don't know what time is
Had my back against the wall you know I was boxed in
I'm the voice of the streets ain't promoting violence
