[Verse 1]
Uh!
All this weight holds a tone
When they title you the one
Where I'm from, ain't no love
Just a barrel and a drum
On my son, I ain't done
Shit, my story just begun
Ain't no slipping, sneakers done
When there ain't nowhere to run, call me dumb
Rather wind up in a clip than a bum
Get your gun, n***as rather see you die than you won
In the slum, this is fun
Though it traumatizes some
Here it comes, second guessing and I've only just begun
I lost so many people yet I survived, I'm feeling guilty
Know this work will last a few lifetimеs, they'll never kill mе
Gotta make 'em more with hearts like mine, they did me filthy
If I ain't somewhere in the book with they rank n***as, I will be
Where do we start?
Did all this loathing but somewhere it fell apart
Still buying diamonds, gotta shine, 'cause hell is dark
Friends smile, haters smile, they hard to tell apart
Gotta stay sharp...
[Chorus]
This hell is dark
I know I'm bleeding, can't you tell that I've been shot?
I'm feeling dizzy, someone caught me in the heart
Don't get comfortable, should've taught me from the start
I wouldn't listen, now it's time for me to harp
Choices you gave me laid me right there in the park
Thought it was over, but somewhere I found a spark
Knew you were waiting on the day I fell apart
Broken arrows...
[Verse 2]
Bought an ends, out the door
But I settle for some more
Ain't no u-turns in war
When that peddle hits the floor
And I swore, to get back everything I took out the store, times 4
I caught back up, ain't gotta look up no more
Tied score, I'ma soar
My survival is my allure
I'ma lie, hold my hand on the bible, fuck the law
I adore, the smell of pressure gives me bundles galore
I'm in awe, mixing these words up like I been here before
Some friends will always be worthy, don't introduce them as family
I black in every direction, I know when Judas is near me
Don't think that I'm an exception
The biggest bruises must bare me
I've had my fair share of troubles
Careful couldn't compare me, uh
My gifts are multiplying, it's easy to double often
Too dangerous for your rap list, keep me the fuck up off 'em
You owe me all of mine, copping pleas won't disrupt distortion
Thumbing through this money while I'm talking, n***a
[Chorus]
This hell is dark
I know I'm bleeding, can't you tell that I've been shot?
I'm feeling dizzy, someone caught me in the heart
Don't get comfortable, should've taught me from the start
I wouldn't listen, now it's time for me to harp
Choices you gave me laid me right there in the park
Thought it was over, but somewhere I found a spark
Knew you were waiting on the day I fell apart
Broken arrows...
[Verse 3]
Uh, feel like I'm due for redemption, karma's a horrid stat
Ain't nothing worse than maintaining, if you can call it that
When I create, I don't listen, critics put all the traps
Picture receivers giving orders to the quarter back
Business is across the map
Lions changing the order of the almanac
I ain't an easy victim, wrist comes with a torch attached
Product of the Southside, shining star off the orphan batch
These days the innocent get strays, your organ snatch
Never take our conversation across the street
Can't hear you out, ain't no justification for deceipt
I put some bread away, just in case you were off your feet
But you went AWOL, justification for the weak
If you should fuck up my day it's probation for the week
Stomping my ways through cities, most states, they call for keeps
Yapping will get you killed, they lie when they say talk is cheap
You need a better understanding, take a walk with me
[Chorus]
This hell is dark
I know I'm bleeding, can't you tell that I've been shot?
I'm feeling dizzy, someone caught me in the heart
Don't get comfortable, should've taught me from the start
I wouldn't listen, now it's time for me to harp
Choices you gave me laid me right there in the park
Thought it was over, but somewhere I found a spark
Knew you were waiting on the day I fell apart
[Outro]
Trying to be the best version I can be
But the ghetto made a murder out of me (Made a murder)
Wasn't always the person that you see (Nah)
Just looking for a moment I can breathe (Just tryna breathe, n***a, just tryna breathe)
