lyrics

[VERSE]
everybody actin' so stanky
they tired and they cranky
no time for the hanky panky
guards is diligent but there always be that one thinkin'
squad is deep, where can I flank it
they don't know me, just a black male figure
suspect somethin-other
we supposed to get along with one another
see me as a monkey in a bubble
too scrawny to squabble
not much different in the city I come from
All the sudden I got people running up, they dissenting
this whole ordeal just seemed lengthy
They tryna tempt me
the more I express, the more they reject me
Even threw dirty diapers at me
Oh-my-my-my

No way out, I'm surrounded, I'm in it
I'm not attempting to offend, so please don't write a ticket
a whole world of civilians, split by cruel dominions
I never witnessed no bed bugs or drug dealins
10 years in, my music still droppin
When they told me to hit the road, that I sucked, I told 'em no and kept trying my best like Rocky
I tried to make something good, before the world watched me
oh yeah, I tried to rap like Pac
but I failed, I was just a tike
Those my own words, yes I short myself every chance at life
but Artis Calloway always gave the greatest advice
let's try it now, with old bullies, I've reconciled
Can't blame nobody now, especially not right now
Certain point when we reach that percentile

give back, give back, but no love in they heart so they abusive
spew hate to levels without a blowback, man bro, heck is with that?
they made diss songs, then hit me up like yeah I did that
And now on my page like where you been at
always on some shit like can I get a favor
Or where my song at, like I'm about to tell you where it's been at
In terms of Careers, I had a mishap
they ain't sorry and I ain't sorry, it's too late for sorry
Red, White and Blue on my body cause I'm American homie
All we do is play dumb and go to them parties
when we complain, we break the mold and we blow up the party
this world needs more authors like Baldassare

Look what the bullies started
I'm a mad writer, shout out to Gnarles Barkley
I got a lot to lose cause in every situation
get my temper sharper, always gotta play it smarter
Y'all look up, some vape and some hooka
insults flying every time I show up
That's why I mutter under my breath, when I say shut the fuck up
name-brand power is sky high
They be like, "Carter, will you please try to be a nice guy"
Dude, what the fuck, Trump is Prez, Hell.. why try?
Got my Rose pink tinted lenses, it's a good day
hitman planning the getaway, we coming for vengeance
Yeah, we coming for vengeance

we never forget, we dwell on that old shit
And you still never quite get it
Meantime I'm over here, tryna write a hit
to Make you wanna dance to this, yeah.. make you wanna dance to this
I rode yellow cab, to the airport, boardingpasses jet rider
Sunshinin', TSA smiling
See Katy Perry, I wink twice and wave
while I daydream blowing my nut right in her face
gun on my bed when I sleep, but I'm awake
For that one night the klan tries to hang me while I lay

Don't push me cause I'm way too unagreeable nowadays
the world is so hateful and evil nowadays
I tell you my life and y'all don't believe me when I say it
Save my tales for down the line, too advanced and way ahead of my time
reverse this song, see what you find
You T-H-O-T
you is weak and I'm always always on your mind
