Turf Wars 2

I've got a lotta things on my mind that I wanna dissect But I don't know if I should get the knife yet 'Cause if I cut it open it'll be a mess And I can't put back together the rest I've got a lotta things that I wanna get off my chest But it's keeping me warm like a nice blue vest And we'll pay a lot of money for the brand of the vest Instead of dealing with the stress Mmhm Man I've gotta be okay with getting like a million "no"'s before I get one "yes" How many times do I gotta take up the knife and die to myself Before my thoughts DIEgress How many friends are gonna lie that they're "never gonna leave" To decide that I'll leave 'em on "read" How many time do I gotta put that in a rap song For them to come back and say it again (MMM) I could only respect people that'll be the same way with you Wether or not they think that you "big" or not 'Cause if it all fails and you fall down to the bottom They're gonna still think you better than the ones at the top I've got 4 friends in mind who I think care about my mind Who are not in my family line And the only reason why they're still around Is because we're on the same page every single time (Okay...) This is probably a good Segway into talking about being patient And letting God handle things in his own time Even though there's nothing really wrong with acknowledging it... Man let's talk all about it I've gotta problem with the people that'll never give you credit For the work you was doing for them How many times do you spend a lot of time on a project For somebody to never even tag you on the 'gram UH HUH And I don't even care about all the attention that you gettin' So don't ever call me "needy" if you gettin' offended But it's the only way that I could get a little bit of business To pay the bills so I don't go starvin' again The music industry isn't all that it seems Especially in the "Christian scene" I've got an artist that abused me for all of my work And another one that didn't even pay for the thing... Don't ever ask me to make a "big Piece" for you When you need it done in a couple of days or somethin' You don't respect the art And God made a whole planet in six days when he could've made it in ONE If you walking' up to me you better know how to run 'Cause I've got a strap on me And it's loaded with love If we ever had a problem with trust And then you see me come right back You can thank the one up above It's a new season And I am not the same person that I was But I'm still covered up by the blood I know it's been a lot of stuff inside of my mind Now I need to figure out how I could be closin' it up Aye...
