[Intro]
I've been thinkin' 'bout it lately
Like I cried but I never let it break me
Do it make me? Do it make me?
If I never let it break me
[Verse 1]
I'm prolly just a product of this neighborhood I'm raised in
Out here we was young inside that trap like we was caged in
Said you was a statistic back then I ain't know what they meant
Mama tried to keep us out the streets and on the pavement
She tried to stop us, we in and out the beef, no how we made men
Addicted to the violence, want no diamonds, getting praised then
Lost Bird, I ain't gonna lie, I might have changed my ways then
I might have lost my way, I was tryn' not knock off niggas' waves then
I'm surprised I still rap, I was trying to make them feel that pain
The type of shit make you take a handful of pills back
Miss me with the diss rap, give gift wrap, shit real rap
Brodie got his wrist slapped, he bailed out, he still strapped
Yeah I know you feel that, sometimes I want the thrills back
Shit ain't even real pack, wish we could take the drill back
Miss my niggas locked up, wish I could take the time back
Wish we could just rewind back, we barely been in contact
[Chorus]
And do it make me?
If I never let it break me
If I never let it, never let it break me
And I don't read it and I don't never let it faze me
And I ain't never let it faze me
I've been thinking about it lately, deep inside
But I never let it change me
Like do it, do it, do it make me
If I don't let it break me
[Verse 2]
My mama said if it don't kill me it just make me stronger
Thinkin' 'bout nights when I would starve and it just gave me hunger
I did so much shit in the trenches, I might have got crazy karma
Plus I don't fuck with y'all rap niggas, this shit might take me longer
They told me it might take some time, shit I'm here now
And the sheep ain't comfortable around wolf shit, I'm aware now
We put your homie in the woods, guess he a bear now
You fuck with us, it's up, it's stuck, he in the air now
I ain't never let the beef break me, I been pushin' through it
Too many pictures, the same location, I'ma look into it
You and gang was on the same page, and now they lookin' through it
Swear to God I felt the same pain, I gotta put him through it
Fuck they forgot how I climbed up from the bottom?
Made these ceilings even higher, from the niggas from my side, I changed the plot
Callowhill, my opp ties, we made a knot
Whether shit was going bad or good, we mades a lot
[Chorus]
And do it make me?
If I never let it break me
If I never let it, never let it break me
And I don't read it and I don't never let it faze me
And I ain't never let it faze me
I've been thinking about it lately, deep inside
But I never let it change me
I promise I ain't never let it change me
Mama I got it, so I won't ever let it break me
