[Intro]

Jwestbeats

Ayy, Elaye countin' up

Ayy, Foreiign


[Pre-Chorus]

My heart, it love, so why the fuck would I hate?

They try to tell me open up, but I don't have what it take

Them doctors try to save my brother but the shit was too late

My birthday August 22nd, bitch, we ain't get no cake

They try to tell me that I'm stupid, bitch, I'm stuck in my ways

Them teachers kick me outta school because I couldn't behave

Ayy, nine-to-five I'm steady working, bitch, I feel like a slave

Can't tell me shit, don't know my pain, ayy, that's my blood in them cages


[Chorus]

I say thеm folks don't understand me, ain't walked a milе in my shoes

You ain't even seen the shit I did and you don't what I know

Don't understand me, ayy, this the struggle for real

My momma in there fucking stressing because she late on the bills


[Verse]

But you go step like you don't care, bitch, you showed me the truth

I speak my pain to these tracks now talk yo shit in the booth

If we ain't never had shit, bitch, we always had a roof

I see new people come around, now put yourself up to use

They criticize me talking down, but these folks don't know shit

I'm out them projects out that gutta out the 4 block them bricks

You stole some money, hoe, you tweaking, what, you thought you was slick?

Move to the A 2015, bitch, we was bummed with shit

My eyes is hurting, bitch, it's bleeding from the things I done seen

I'm seventeen taking these drugs I mix that Sprite with some lean

I went to school, them bitches laughing I got two pair of jeans

2011 lost my cousin, left her dead on the scene


[Bridge]

In this pain, it never go

I'm down on my last, I'm feeling low

They don't even know what they did to me

Life is just a game to me


[Pre-Chorus]

My heart, it love, so why the fuck would I hate?

They try to tell me open up, but I don't have what it take

Them doctors try to save my brother but the shit was too late

My birthday August 22nd, bitch, we ain't get no cake

They try to tell me that I'm stupid, bitch, I'm stuck in my ways

Them teachers kick me outta school because I couldn't behave

Ayy, nine-to-five I'm steady working, bitch, I feel like a slave

Can't tell me shit, don't know my pain, ayy, that's my blood in them cages


[Chorus]

I say them folks don't understand me, ain't walked a mile in my shoes

You ain't even seen the shit I did and you don't what I know

Don't understand me, ayy, this the struggle for real

My momma in there fucking stressing because she late on the bills
