Lyrics
How long can I survive with this mentality?
How long can I survive with this mentality?
Trials and tribulations I'm facing
In this age of information, I hate this shit
'Cause niggas hit my phone when they want some shit
Bitches hit my phone when they want some dick
Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear
Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear
Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear
Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear
You call it runnin', I call it escapin'
Start a new life in a foreign location
Similar to my niggas duckin' cases
Can't take the possible time that he faces
How long can I survive with this mentality?
How long can I survive with this mentality?
My dad, he died, he got shot 'cause his friend set him up
And I didn't go to his funeral
And sometimes when I'm in my room
I get mad at my momma when she been mean to me
When she say, when she say, "Clean up", I say
Nigga play me, never, give up my chain, never
Give up my pride, never, show 'em my pain, never
Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never
Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never
Nigga play me, never, give up my chain, never
Give up my pride, never, show 'em my pain, never
Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never
Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never
How long can I survive with this mentality?
How long can I survive with this mentality?
I get mad, I slam my door and go in my room
And then, I get mad and I say, "I wish my dad was here"
