[Intro: Melvoni]

KimJ with the heat

Ooh

Get 'round from me

What you want from me?

Used to get a lot from me

Yeah


[Chorus: Melvoni]

You can't see the world through my eyes

Man, I'm just a kid in disguise

And I gotta be careful 'cause there's a lot of kids in the sky

Can't afford to see momma cry

So for that I stay with my guys

And keep that thing by my side

And pray that I stay alive


[Post-Chorus: Melvoni]

It won't be long, mama I'm coming home

I gotta stay strong, this is the life I chose

So I gotta stay ten toes down before they make me a ghost

'Cause they want me gone and will decompose


[Verse 1: Melvoni]

I ain't get to have, beliеve me, I tried

And thеy switched apart from me

Pursue and surpass, it's that where we live

I'm tryna survive, homie

They say you get what you give, it is what it is

[?] they lied to me

Had this feeling inside of me

That I could only rely on me

It was me and Marzo in a warzone

Lookin' for opps like Where's Waldo

Ain't need no choppa, we break his jaw bone

Ain't no one-on-one, when one go, we all go

Rest in peace to all the fallen soldiers

Lucky it was no one close to me

Trust me, this ain't how it's 'posed to be

Had to treat niggas [?] holdin' me down

(I'm in the streets, yeah)

(But I'm too deep in now)


[Bridge: Melvoni]

I like blue faces over yellow tape

Been knew that this wasn't a life for me

Something wasn't right for me

But now the music is what it gotta be


[Post-Chorus: Melvoni]

It won't be long, mama I'm coming home

I gotta stay strong, this is the life I chose

So I gotta stay ten toes down before they make me a ghost

'Cause they want me gone and will decompose


[Verse 2: Lil Tjay]

Lotta niggas started changin' on me

Feel the energy and pain on me

Back hurt, 'cause the gang on me

When it's war time, they gon' bang for me

Still walk around with that thing on me

Still in the hood with these chains on me

Bitch tryna line me, don't blame shorty

Honestly, I be watchin' my main shorty

Gun in my pants with the mains on me

Still got them shooters who bang for me

Still got them demons who stain for me

Rappin' been taking my pain from me

Struggle, so I'ma remain hungry

Used to struggle, so I'ma remain hungry

Trauma been tryin' to run games on me

I gotta focus on big bag

Niggas broke on they ass and they big mad

Backwoods, don't fuck with no zig zag

Rolling deadies, we call that shit big gas

.40 cal my pistol gon' click-clack

I can't fuck with no niggas that chit-chat

They bit as a kid, niggas did that

If I'm rappin' 'bout somethin' I lived that


[Chorus: Melvoni]

You can't see the world through my eyes

Man, I'm just a kid in disguise

And I gotta be careful 'cause there's a lot of kids in the sky

Can't afford to see momma cry

So for that I stay with my guys

And keep that thing by my side

And pray that I stay alive


[Post-Chorus: Melvoni]

It won't be long, mama I'm coming home

I gotta stay strong, this is the life I chose

So I gotta stay ten toes down before they make me a ghost

'Cause they want me gone and will decompose
