[Verse]

Here I go as I indirectly build my loneliness, wondering if we still friends can we kill this phoniness

There's always two sides to the story would you listen to this

Correct me if I'm wrong out of past tense

To the presents uh

Straight out the womb of a single mother, making room

Overtime with stress

Pops caught by muthafuckers he wouldn't rest

Even with the two twins before me heard attempts to split that

Now let me reopen my mind if I can remember these precious moments with the fam little gracious memories my lord hot dam, what's wrong with these fronting adults

They ruin everything with they pride, greed and lust

Why must we young bleed for such

It's just too much to the head

Momma I try to rest it but its heck-ed can you pat my back

Cause the weight of the world unnecessarily stressing that

Life is simple and sweet yet there's some who make it complex and bitter young one can you be honest and creep for me and tell me things really what you believe or what you been told

Now come back when you old

These fulfillments in dormant nothing being cured just treated that's an insult on my intelligence

Trust I'm relevant

Socially hell bent

Mentally heaven sent corrupted by man's punishment

This banishment from pleas meant and joy

Heed me lil boy we stay enjoyed

But our mentality is raw be easy lil souljah

[Bridge]

Think before you moved cause a dawg that got nothing to lose got somethings to gain but tell me what game you trying pull this mentality is raw

[Hook]

They say keep your head high

Make your will crack the sky

Never bow to no man or swifty you die

All we trying to do is live

But that's a bunch of bull cause of what you got to give

And give into some say it's just the way of life

Well you lucky if you don't got to fight

But the rest of us out here thugging day and night

So don't you cry you ain't been branded with this mentality is raw

[Verse]

In these time's these days its best to wise and strive

Or your find yourself being blind and wild

Getting into this getting into that boy you fried-

I never lie to you, best advice I can give a mutherfucka is what?

Be young at heart but wise by mind and tough by body

Self-checked by emotion

Bruh you got notion- this notice is high

Cause you about to step in the field it could be eye for an eye

Speak only what you know and never bite your tongue or pocket your fist'

Life could be a bitch

Depending on how you approach her, this just some shit

I think about cause raw is the mentality and I'm a rol dawg always looking at reality

Cause big boys done fold y'all off of something stupid we mustn't lose it

You got's to prove it

Play this game like chess and monopoly and beat it

[Hook]

They say keep your head high

Make your will crack the sky

Never bow to no man or swifty you die

All we trying to do is live

But that's a bunch of bull cause of what you got to give

And give into some say it's just the way of life

Well you lucky if you don't got to fight

But the rest of us out here thugging day and night

So don't you cry you ain't been branded with this mentality is raw
