I grew up, nicotine clouds and breathing in that second hand
My cousins let me take swigs from unfamiliar cans
Giving me advice like I don’t gotta keep my dick in my pants
That’s just some shit you gotta do to be a man
Maybe this is why I’m stuck in my ways
Stranger to change
Learning how to fly is limited to the height of my cage
Am I a busted pipe or a diamond, let’s check the pressure gauge
It’s hard to tell my story when I only got a title page
My woman couldn’t read me
Decided she didn’t need me
I tried but she ain’t believe me
I really thought she would free me
I’m bonded, what would you call it
I choose death over dishonor
I’m black, I’m big, I’m a monster
I’m faking, I’m an imposter
I’m diving deep in my bottle
And disappointing my father
I pray I don’t have a daughter
This not what I want her watching
Yo daddy messed up as fuck
And he pray you never grow up
And see he done drowned in his cup
And when you call he don’t wake up
And when you scream he don’t wake up
And when you cry he don’t wake up
And when you pray he don’t wake up
I just hope I loved you enough
Man I got issues
Damn I’m tearing up where’s the tissue
You left me a while ago and to this day I still miss you
I could try until I die but it’s no way I could forget you
But I’m a man we not allowed to feel what we done been through
I was taught to be the one my folks can depend on
Everybody looking at me like we’re at a prom send off
One apple on the tree get cut we all get our blend on
You pulled with your crew and seen us, and now your men gone
They told me that I had to fight to know the way
They told me that I better not ever cry or I was gay
When you learn that type of shit it don’t just up and walk away
You mad that I can’t open up but that’s how I was raised x3
I’m tryna brake the cycles x4
Freedom is just an illusion that’s my conclusion if you feel different then prove it
Just try me that sounds amusing but Imma dissect diffusions real precisely
The cyclical patterns are just recycling
They’re probably finna be the reason that I get indicted
Will you write me
Or will you find a better man walking down a better path scheming on a better plan
I was making crumbs, he got bread and bacon sizzling in the pan
I got out and heard the news now she’s a bitch, a slut, a tramp
And I cannot forgive her, not never ever
Even after all the times I cheated on her it was several
She always took me back, she was my peace, she made me better
She always tried to fix me but I’m stubborn I ain’t let her
Rather listen to my cousin nem
Learn from my uncle nem
Mimic my brother nem
We all condemned
Born into malicious patterns it feels like it never ends
I’m searching for something strong enough to relinquish toxic trends
Maybe I could try to use the tenacity of my sins they threw me in and said it’s up to me whether I sink or swim
I’m living fast but karmas in the race and she gone always win
I’m trying to break the cycles for my son so where do I begin
Ya diggg
