[Verse 1]

Uh, you say you got me

I don't trust that, I know the love is fake

I close the backdoor when I walk in

I can't test my fate

Sip on codeine when I get low

No, I can't shake this feelin'

I cut my grass

You grew too long and I can't fuck with snakes

I 'member back then they ain't know me

Now, they wanna show me love

I remember back then bitches curved me

Now, they wanna have my babies

Stay down 'til I 'came a hustler til the sun

I'm on the road day to daily

Post-traumatic stress, being in the field

Boy, that shit will drivе you crazy

Don't just say you love me

You gotta show me, that'll hеlp me heal

Never switched on no one

Always stayed hundred, always kept it real

Always kept it real


[Chorus]

On them cold nights I was alone

Just me and my shadows

Spent too many days all alone

Fighting these battles

I ain't never fold once

Never let it break me

Keep my head up, we were in the trenches

Ballin' in the league, I was shootin' 3's

Never sittin' on the benches


[Verse 2]

My mind on these millions, what I'm chasin'

I ain't goin' for none

All this resentment and this envy gonna crush my gun

Demons in my head, nothing could be said

I still played my part

Never turned snake, never turned faux

Kept it real from the start

Devil be on my shoulders

Heart heavy like a boulder

I be goin' real fast to the money

Boy, I could damn near smell it

I be gettin' cheese, stay away from mans

I know what them folks will tell ya

Lookin' for the clout

Tryna get my soul, I know that they gone sell it

Don't just say you love me

People gotta show me, that'll help me heal

Never switched on no one

Always stayed hundred, always kept it real

Always kept it real


[Chorus]

On them cold nights I was alone

Just me and my shadows

Spent too many days all alone

Fighting these battles

I ain't never fold once

Never let it break me

Keep my head up, we were in the trenches

Ballin' in the league, I was shootin' 3's

Never sittin' on the benches (Benches, benches, benches)
