I′m just letting that shit flow out

fuck it, I bet go ahead, go

Know what I'm saying? Fuck it

Ay, ay, I′m done crying

Ay, ay, ay, ay (I put my people on my back)

(Oh yeah, Hydro) I'm trying to tell

myself the same old shit (same old shit)

Stopped giving them my all

when they giving they ass a kiss (kiss)

All I hear is excuses, excuses, excuses

How y'all want me to win when y′all the reason I′m losing?

I showed my dawg

still don't get it still (still, don′t get it still)

'Cause we′re in the same predicament that we was just in

Baby, I'm trying to chase a billion

you still keep complaining

Keyanta, how you know you love me?

Bae, I′m tired of explaining

Just might cancel off my job

when I'm telling them it's entertaining

Everybody using me to get on

that′s why I′m tired of being famous

I'm moving along without my heart

because love just too dangerous for me

How we in this shit together, nobody in the ring with me?

I need kids, I still don′t know how to be a father

It's been killing me, telling myself I need to go harder

And my memory′s starting to fade away, I'm so heartless

While I′m climbing to the top

you know I'm gonna fall down regardless

Trying to learn my brother again

he just got outta prison (he got outta prison)

You been goin' away too long

this shit been different (shit been different, man)

I been tryna stay on a straight path

but I been drifting (I′ve been drifting)

Hard time, got these niggas changing

it′s ridiculous (it's ridiculous)

Scotty just sent me a kite from jail

it caught me by surprise

He said what he felt inside that box

it brought tears straight to my eyes

Nigga I was on the side of you, forever I ride

Nigga, don′t ever second question me, for you, I'd die

When I fought, yet I ain′t fall back

nigga, I went straight in

When we was drowning on the deep end

I taught us how to swim (watch this)

When everybody lost faith I brought hope to us nigga

When they all counted us out, we ran up numbers on niggas

I ain't bought no chain since

boy got locked in the chain gang

I ain′t stopped grinding, since I been winning

I've been on the same thing

I shared the bits to get y'all out

so we all could be at the top

Been tryna get Trae home for seven years

and I still ain′t never stopped

I ain′t putting family over everything

this brothers shit forever

When the guys need a lawyer

we supposed to split it down the middle

But I, when I'm stressing about this shit, nobody crying

But I, couldn′t even call nobody for

help to wipe the tears from my eyes, hey

I got scars from this war, put that stick on old boy

And my brothers died for my choices

And from the day they spent back, I done doubled to get back

Inside my head, I heard voices

Shed a light to the dark, only time I'm close to the star

When I′m back, I'm back in the Royces

I put my people on my back and now we riding, riding

(I came from far) only the strong survive (I came from far)

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

Only the strong survive

You gotta stand ten toes on the shit, ten toes, you hear me?

′Cause only the strong survive
