I've been doin' it on my own, no, I don't need a friend
R.I.P. to my lil' bro, he couldn't see the end
When he died, we still was beefin, couldn't make amends
The type of shit that make you call up one of your distant friends
And everyday I do my best to pray to God
Cause I know if it weren't for him, that I would never beat the odds
Don't plan on ever showin' my hands, and I won't let him pull my card
Don't plan on changin' who I am, I'm bein' cool with who I are
I couldn't tell you how this happened, I don't write it, I just rap it
Spit this shit right from the heart
Believe in God, I don't do magic, I ain't settling for average
So I'm shootin' for the stars
Can't be the only nigga winnin
I give game to all my brothers
I make sure that they don't starve
Crazy how we started out together
But niggas change just like the weather
So I love em' from afar
Please don't take it personal
I was just tryna protect myself, I ain't know that it was hurtin' you
The power of my words, it left some scars that weren't reversible
Now I black on tracks, I rap or sing, they say I'm versatile
I want real money, but I ain't tryna go commercial though
Soon as I peep you fake, I gotta get you out my circle, bro
You's my man, knew you since we was kids, but you still cappin, though
Gotta learn to forget and forgive, I gotta let it go
He was trippin, boy, go get your mans before I get him gone
Well-respected, you come to my hood and you can ask around
Never settle, gotta put in work, I can't just lodge around
Heavy metal, gotta keep a stick for when we move around
I know it's evident, I'm heaven sent
Walk inside the room and they address me like the elephant
Really into music, don't just do it for the hell of it
You should see me when I'm in the booth be in my element
I been doin' it on my own, no, I don't need a friend
R.I.P. to my lil' bro, he couldn't see the end
When he died, we still was beefin, couldn't make amends
The type of shit that make you call up one you're distant friends
And every day, I do my best to pray to God
Cause I know if it weren't for him, that I would never beat the odds
Don't plan on ever showin' my hands, and I won't let him pull my card
Don't plan on changin' who I am, I'm bein' cool with who I are
