You know what it is, and what it ain't
I know it's been a while since we got a vibe
Stressed out all the fuckin' time
Wanna hit you up to tell you that I'm fine
But you know how many times
I still been smoking to get high
Tell the truth, you on my mind
Yeah (Firzt back like he left or somethin')
Look
Baby, you know what it is, and you know what it's not
You was around a nigga still when niggas wasn't hot
They know I paid them dividends to get they brother dropped
And never sold my soul, I might fuck 'round, be another 'Pac
Or fuck 'round, be another me
The only thing I'd change about the past is my big brother G
Everything you see in these walls and glass was earned, it wasn't free
I'd give all the leases they last turn, 2023
I'm done trying
Yeah, take one to shine to try
Yeah, every nigga life I took, that bitch-ass nigga was tryna die, you hear me?
I don't leave shit in the trunk, every time I go in, it's fire inside
Scary-ass nigga gon' ride, then ride
Bitch-ass nigga gon' run, then run
And if you gon' stay in, then hide, then hide, go
My life done always been all kind of crazy
Now my momma poppin' and drive a Mercedes
And I'll go from here to Dubai if they pay me
If I wanna gamble, I'll fly out to Vegas
If I want some water, I'll fly out to Florida
Wherever I go, I'ma go with a gun
If you know what it is, then you know I'm the one
Believe that
(You know what it is, and what it ain't)
You know what it is (I know it's been a while since we got a vibe)
Been a while (stressed out all the fuckin' time)
Yeah (wanna hit you up to tell you that I'm fine)
(But you know how many times)
You know a nigga tired (I still been smoking to get high)
Yeah (tell the truth, you on my mind)
(Need to change pace, baby, oh my God)
Baby, you know what it is, and you know what it's not
You was around a nigga still when niggas wasn't hot
They know I paid them dividends to get they brother dropped
And never sold my soul, I might fuck 'round, be another 'Pac
Or fuck 'round, be another me
The only thing I'd change about the past is my big brother G
Everything you see in these walls and glass was earned, it wasn't free
I'd give all the leases they last turn, 2023
I'm done trying
Yeah, after collectin' all them plaques and all them awards
After I mastered somethin' and get bored
I know I was askin' for it, but Lord
The things that come with fame don't really align with me
And I know you know what I mean because you took your time with me
Them rides I took when I thought it was me, they ain't know you was right there ridin' with me
The shit I survived, it'll be hard to believe
Admit it that they don't go harder than me
I don't gotta start up the car with a key
I don't gotta give her the money to fuck
You know what it is, this ain't what you want
If I ain't with my kids, I'm facin' a blunt, nigga
'Cause I'm tired, nigga
(You know what it is, and what it ain't)
But at the same time, I'm up, nigga
And ready for whatever, completely alert (I know it's been a while since we got a vibe)
Hold myself a thousand percent accountable for me and mine (stressed out all the fuckin' time)
(Wanna hit you up to tell you that I'm fine)
(But you know how many times)
(I still been smoking to get high) yeah
(Tell the truth, you on my mind)
(Need to change pace, baby, oh my God)
Baby, you know what it is, and you know what it's not
You was around a nigga still when niggas wasn't hot
They know I paid them dividends to get they brother dropped
And never sold my soul, I might fuck 'round, be another 'Pac
Or fuck 'round, be another me
The only thing I'd change about the past is my big brother G
Everything you see in these walls and glass was earned, it wasn't free
I'd give all the leases they last turn, 2023
I'm done trying
(But you decide)
(You decide)
(Mm-mm, oh-oh)
(Decide-cide)
(Decide)
