Black Clouds
[Intro]
(Go Grizz)
I'm in the studio, bruh, but I'ma hit you in a lil' second
Alright
A'ight, bruh (Winners Circle)

[Chorus]
They say a man not supposed to cry
Tell me why these tears keep fallin'
We die to live, but we live to die
I could feel my heartbeat often
I live a Bread Winner lifestyle
Forever, I'ma keep on ballin'
Told me it was over, it was lights out
Tell me why my thoughts keep callin', ooh
Free Lil Maine, my city want me dead
My mama say I got a black cloud over my head
No surrender, no retreat, that's how we play
I promise you, I won't back down until I'm dеad

[Verse 1]
Where the lovе at?
Fell in love, they don't love back (Damn)
Sadly mistaken, guess it never was that
Thought we had the same dream back when we was rug rats
In a grudge match over somethin' petty, what was that?
I deleted old things, I changed my contacts
Prayin' every night and day this pain don't come back
Back when we was in the game, stacked change off drug packs
Swervin' lane to lane, sipped drank with gun strapped
That switch a bitch, that cross a motherfucker
Weather every storm that's comin', all I know is hustle
Emotional turmoil had my heart in trouble
Relationships, got burned from, but I'll forever love 'em
[Bridge]
That's a misconception
Being able to show vulnerability is what makes you strong
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Love is a battlefield, willing to kill for yours
How do you heal from scars when you not built for war?

[Chorus]
They say a man not supposed to cry
Tell me why these tears keep fallin'
We die to live, but we live to die
I could feel my heartbeat often
I live a Bread Winner lifestyle
Forever, I'ma keep on ballin'
Told me it was over, it was lights out
Tell me why my thoughts keep callin', ooh
Feel like my city want me dead
My mama say I got a black cloud over my head
No surrender, no retreat, that's how we play
I promise I won't never back down until I'm dead

[Verse 2]
Where the love at? Fell in love, they don't love back
Used to pull your hair from the back, give you love taps
We was upstairs on the carpet with no rugs there
Diamonds glistenin', gettin' it in the mirror, know you love that
Now tell me again (Yeah, Bread Winner lifestyle)
Can we be lovers and friends? (I'm to the ceiling with it right now)
Lovers and friends, could we be lovers and friends?
All my feelings been conflicted, I'ma take it as a loss
Sometimes I don't wanna see you, ain't no thoughts of you at all
I don't go look at your pictures, act like we was not involved
I got a bitch from Michoacán and I got Mexico involved
I got bricks of that perico, I'm a Puerto Rico don
Stacked the Lion's mane and niacin and then went took a walk
Couple sets of calisthenics, then I finish with a jog
Clique up with my engineer and then check in, I'm on the job
I'm starting to not believe, God, please answer my prayers
Take what little heart I have, it don't need to be repaired
I don't wanna love nobody, I don't wanna love nobody
I don't wanna love nobody, I don't wanna love nobody
[Chorus]
They say a man not supposed to cry
Tell me why these tears keep fallin'
We die to live, but we live to die
I could feel my heartbeat often
I live a Bread Winner lifestyle
Forever, I'ma keep on ballin'
Told me it was over, it was lights out
Tell me why my thoughts keep callin', ooh
