Yeah
(I'm workin' on dyin')
I'm upset
50 thousand on my head, it's disrespect
So offended that I had to double-check
I'ma always take the money over -
That's why they need me out the way, what you expect?
Got a lot of blood and it's cold
They keep tryna get me for my soul
Thankful for the women that I know
Can't go 50-50 with no -
Every month
I'm supposed to pay her bills and get her what she want
I still got like seven years of doin' what I want
My dad still got child support from 1991
Outta town, people love to pop a lot of - then come around
Word to Flacko Jodye, he done seen us put it down
- askin' if I'm cool
I'm upset ('set, 'set, 'set)
Hundred thousand on my head, it's disrespect (disrespect)
So offended that I had to double-check
You tryna check?
This is real life, think we playin' chess
So what's next?
Jump up out the bed like I'm possessed
I go out on tour and I say I'm drinkin' less
End up gettin' loose and gettin' pictures from my ex (ex, ex, ex, ex)
SMS, triple X
That's the only time I ever shoot below the neck (skrr)
Why you keep on - if you know that - dead? (Skrr)
That's the only kind of - that gets you some respect
Got a lot of blood and it's cold
They keep tryna get me for my soul (for my soul)
Thankful for the women that I know
Can't go 50-50 with no - (ay, ay)
Every month
She don't even love me, she just puttin' on a front (front)
She gon' try and settle outta court and make a run
Then gon' ask me how I'm doin'
I'm upset ('set, 'set, 'set)
Half a million on my head I can accept, yeah
'Least it makes me feel like someone tried their best, yeah
Want to waste a half a million, be my guest
Made me wanna buy a vest and a - (skrr)
But I'm blessed, I just checked (checked, checked)
Hate me, never met me in the flesh (flesh)
Say she's got some things she gotta come here and collect
That - is in a box to the left, to the left (left, left, left)
For my soul
And I know
