[Intro]

Aww man

You know I should've threw this on the tape

I still might throw it on the tape

Maybe a bonus track, I don't know, we'll see

[Verse]

I never tried to be a "real nigga", whatever that means

But I'm honest and sincere man, whenever I speak

I see it doesn't go both ways apparently

And y'all just ain't the "real niggas" that y'all claim to be

Taking on a new persona dawg, whenever you tweet

Painting pictures of perfection, I'm guessing eventually

Whether that's days, months, or years, your biggest fear

Will be revealed, and that is that we'll finally see

Your real character, but let you niggas tell it

Ain't nobody loyal, ain't nobody ever give you credit

Everybody hating, no one wanna see you go and get it

Everybody wanna stop you from getting all your blessings

While you supporting everyone, in return it's never done

You always giving your out your last, they never give you credit for

Putting everybody first, and when it's all said and done

Since you've been hurt, now the motto's fuck everyone

Nigga please, you don't think that I can read

Right through your tendencies of making everybody seem

Like they the enemy, and you was always on they team

And trust me now I see all the shots you sent for me

And that's all you niggas, and yes it's plural

And this ain't dissing, it's just love lost for you

Couldn't see at first, now the vision is thorough

So we'll avoid trouble, separate ways in this hustle

Fucking up my judgement, thought I was good at that shit

I thought I knew who I was trusting, now I gotta admit

That I was clueless, I was foolish

No excuses, therapeutic

When I'm writing to this music straight from my nigga Junior

And you niggas be plotting on the low

No longer oblivious, just tryna see how far it goes

And you niggas take it far, now fuck the nice guy shit

And I'm broke now, imagine when I get rich

I felt violated, and at times I wouldn't speak

I let it get to me all because I'm tryna keep the peace

It's immaturity by me that I can't even talk about it

'Cause deep down inside I really wanna hurt somebody

So I keep it to myself, all the feelings bottled in

Admit it bothers me, I thought you niggas was my friends

And this just started happening, I guess it's 'cause I'm older

Now I'm constantly having to look over my shoulder, hold up

Since it's time that I grow up, I'll admit I ain't perfect

Hurt some people I know it, but I ain't do it on purpose

I just allowed us to lose that connection

So much time without talking, I was sending out a message

That I wasn't caring but just know that ain't true

I was in a new setting but that ain't no excuse

But I learned my lesson just as someone should do

That you can't be forgetting who's really for you

But to someone I was once crazy about

Girl what happened? You changed to the greatest amount

And with all those damn one-sided stories you been telling

Soon they'll see right through you and just figure it out

But oh, silly me, they your friends, they on your side

So I go by knowing it's time I give up

And don't you ever fix your motherfucking lips to call me selfish

'Cause my whole life, I ain't been selfish enough

Never told myself, "dawg you been helping enough"

Never set a maximum of what I thought was too much

And you probably think the only way to help is monetary

What about things like support, time, and love?

Trust me when I say I ain't ever turning back

Don't be tryna run around, then act like here is where it's at

And I'm no longer affected, baby live your life

But don't be tryna block attempts for me to go live mine

But off that, I know this music shit is a blessing

My dream profession, but sometimes I'm second guessing

At an industry event, just tryna ask a simple question

And she rolling her eyes cause I'm asking for directions

Calm down baby, I ain't tryna get your number

Just don't wanna be late to see Nick Grant performing

It was just a reminder that now I'm a nobody

But when I come up, suddenly I'm so godly

And that same girl might hit my listening party

Rolling eyes at another nigga lost in the lobby

Some of you niggas like it, we do this for different reasons

You can have 'em, them groupie chicks don't excite me

But you, you girl, you got my attention

I write these songs hoping one day that you'll listen

And hoping that you like 'em, only truth that I'm writing

I ain't like these other rappers, girl I'm really trying

Niggas thought slowing down was gon' fuck the flow up

Woke up, showed up, in no time I rose up

They so stuck, notice, while I stay focused

Time to blow up, make the whole world know us

Niggas claim they listen but what's your real motive

So insincere, man you fronting so much

No fucking fire emoji all on my pictures

If that's gon be the only time you ever listen

What you really like about it? The bars or the flow?

The beat? The concept? What's a bar you would quote?

And if I ain't have to ask, then that's how I would know

The difference between one click and a download

And for all y'all supporting, we on the same team

The mixtape is No Previews, album is Same Dreams

Same Dreams
