[Verse 1]

And I ain't grow up no different (Nah)

Couldn’t leave the table til my dinner was finished

Weekends if I ain't go out my controller was clickin'

I used to go and break the law to get control for a minute (I know)

And that bar is just how most of us living

The same cycles got us close to the ending

My people broken, diminishing

Bad times got me older in spirit

I’m a part time rapper but I'm close to a chemist

I been going through the motions trynna learn more

Doing all these sides quests I've been trynna earn more (Forreal)

Rеad between the lines and rеally starts to hurt more

Look at how this life move, Look up at the birds soar

Everything got meaning, what you think we on this earth for?

What this fire burns for, what these people yearn for

Everything got meaning, what you think we on this earth for?

What this fire burns for, what these people yearn for forreal

[Hook]

If you chase it it's gon' run from you

Babygirl I know it hurts it ain't no love for you love for you

When you was broken no one comfort you

Gotta get up no one come for you get it no one come for you

If you chase it it's gon' run from you

Babyboy I know it hurts it ain’t no love for you love for you

When you was broken no one comfort you

Gotta get up no one come for you, get it no one come for you

[Verse 2]

Go and check the toe tag, wanna know the cause for it

Was it from my heart, high horse did I fall from it?

Maybe it was demons or the monsters in my wall done it

Life flash before me school yard we was all running

BMX with hard breaks, looking back on heartbreaks

Wish that I could tell myself to breathe cause we was all straight (Forreal)

Looking back on times when I would smile in my dawg face

Knowing that I’m hurting and I'm going through a dark place forreal

Used to love my action figures and my trading card games

Innocence was snatched just we did wit phones in broad day

Struggled with anxiety and had to learn the hard way

Couldn’t even talk to what's-her-name up in the hallway

My last breath leaving me, as a baby I was reading frequencies

Put that on my momma she can speak for me

My gut never lies even if my eyes deceiving me

I just pray I'm pure enough for God when he receiving me

[Hook]

If you chase it it's gon’ run from you

Babygirl I know it hurts it ain't no love for you love for you

When you was broken no one comfort you

Gotta get up no one come for you get it no one come for you

If you chase it it's gon' run from you

Babyboy I know it hurts it ain't no love for you love for you

When you was broken no one comfort you

Gotta get up no one come for you, get it no one come for you

[Outro]

Man, people be forgetting that death is a part of life

One of the biggest parts of it man

Nobody leave's their crib thinking it's 'boutta be their last day on Earth

Nobody closes their eyes thinking that either

So you know, I stay prayed up stay dangerous all that

So I be living every day like it's my last

'Cause it can be my last any day
