[Verse 1]

Sometimes, I feel like the wall's closing in

Must be the greaze, I'm masking pain

Through the hard times, I walk with a grin

But late nights, battling thoughts in my mind

I don't even know what I feel inside

Look in my eyes, you can see no feeling

Too many dramas, I can't find a reason

Let alone tryna sit down with a meaning

Sleep in the hood, always tryna get out

Bare man fire like there's only one exit

Know how I feel but I don't wanna talk

So I put it in a song, I was born with a blessing

Money started out as a thought

Now it's got the whole world stressing

Me, I touched down with the torch

Now I've got the whole ends finessing

Don't wanna reach, you got too much pride

When there's no one around but you're feeling alone

Sometimes, you've gotta just say how you feel

To the right person, it's like more than gold

I've had low ones myself

Too much stress ain't good for your health

Kinda felt like I came back from the dead

Cuh all I saw was red on bare things I read

Now I feel like I came back for the throne

Walk in the game like "honey, I'm home"

Man, I sit, think about the world that I live

Where knowledge ain't worth half the price of a brick

Yeah, I don't owe you shit

Hearing my bars, you can know that it's real

Some man move in the game like a crackhead

Everything you do, you're tryna find you a deal

[Chorus]

Know about stress, know about pain

Know about a friend and I know about snakes

Know about rap and I know about grime

Know about patience, know about time

Know about H•A•M and I know about rest

Know about life and I know about tests

Know about beef and I know about war

Know about mine, I don't know about yours

[Verse 2]

Life is good but as human beings

The one negative that will get your attention

Too many times, I was on the wrong road

Then I came back for redemption

Brain going round like a tornado

Me, I come through like a loaded shotty

Nuttin' but silence before they blow

Diamond flow like a rolling stone's

Rockstar life like a Rolling Stone

Can't tell man twice, gotta know who's home

Me, I stay low when the police roam

Can't get me nicked, I gotta drop that life

I say it all the time but I'm still in the cut

Cuh life be a bitch and I've been in a rut

If I don't die from a natural cause

I pray it ain't shells that's filling my gut

Cause I've been on the grind tryna double up Ps

Look outside and the sky's still grey

I was on the road tryna live that life

But I'm tryna show man I've been here from day

I came back out, put pressure on the game

If you wanna come against me, I'll fight for the name

That I've built, came back from the hills

Pshh, that's another MC killed

Yeah, no time like the present

New tune, I've got the timeline a present

I smoke an MC twice

That's the weed and the resin

Too many tunes stacked up in the file

Stand it up and that's taller than Nico

We all chase money, get paid in full

Don't snitch like Rico

[Chorus]

Know about stress, know about pain

Know about a friend and I know about snakes

Know about rap and I know about grime

Know about patience, know about time

Know about H•A•M and I know about rest

Know about life and I know about tests

Know about beef and I know about war

Know about mine, I don't know about yours

[Chorus]

Know about stress, know about pain

Know about a friend and I know about snakes

Know about rap and I know about grime

Know about patience, know about time

Know about H•A•M and I know about rest

Know about life and I know about tests

Know about beef and I know about war

Know about mine, I don't know about yours

[Chorus]

Know about stress, know about pain

Know about a friend and I know about snakes

Know about rap and I know about grime

Know about patience, know about time

Know about H•A•M and I know about rest

Know about life and I know about tests

Know about beef and I know about war

Know about mine, I don't know about yours
