this is a tale of two men
have you ever had a war with your mind? its like i'm two men
tryna' juggle college and money but this is useless
cause either way one of them suffers because of music
telling jussy on the phone
bailiffs climbing windows
tryna' run up in my home and take everything i own
them girls will never know
all the nights that i pray got aired to the road that i chose
making phones calls for dough
but you couldn't buy my attention
you ever spoken to the devil? you'll lose the fear in god
he doesn't come round here
how a-judge can give a life and take a life
that's why you don't get involved when they play with knifes
but let me tell you about my life
i came from a family of 5
if i try to tell my story 'swear down you would cry
but all you need to know is i've lost every single man inside my life
it's like who do you follow when your time feels borrowed
and your idols gonna' stray? my words carry weight
it's like who do you follow when your time feels borrowed
and your idols gonna' stray? and so i put my heart in my friends
i was trying to be the hardest on endz'
and then we split half of the endz'
a few altercations in a week
we lost half of our friends
and back then all the girls in the school were busy giving corn
this is for the brudda's in life that weren't rated
started thinking way beyond my age when i hit 17
i had a smile of a child but a mind like i'm 23
around a bunch of man i didn't feel like sherleys guy
and now these clowns couldn't sit with me
i stand on my own like sicily
i've never been known for wifing hoes and twitter beef
i'm tryna' turn green and white to red like italy
i don't need to chat shit my family is active
i've seen death like sign language
i don't want wanna die so young
real talk i don't like this pressure
man are still beefing over endz
we don't own this land and we don't like this weather
man are still beefing over money and you're all broke
outside your endz there's a life that better
outside your endz there's a life that real
with a job and a wife that's real
leaving your kids that's fake
i shouldn't need to say what's real
this is common sense for the man who got their head set straight
i have to state the obvious
trust me these bars are for them mans sake
now its like dave man you have to blow
cause i've seen pain like nagato
you ain't never spent a day inside my camera roll
and this message that i'm giving is so easily miss written
leave the beef alone and chase the figures
leave the beef alone and chase the figues
but it's never been that simple
when you get em hold the dippers
all them little nigga's on that trap wave
jump of it's not gonna run
i don't care about how many doors you got on your car
no one cares about how much corn you got on your gun
man they wanna hear your story
and word to jamal my time soon comes shortly
if your my right hand then my beef is your beef
my vid' is your vid'- the scene can't ignore me
i wasn't cutting cake in a party
i was online hitting sales like e-bay
like why you lying to the jakes?
then set fire to the rain
i still wonder why we had burners from young
they're beefing with these low lifes
i'm tryna' make music my whole life
i can't do it on my own fam i won't lie
so if you're on your own grind and you don't know a bag of man
you can be my santan danielle or my halli tam
if you're on your own grind and you don't know a bag of man
have you ever had a war with your mind? its like i'm two men
this is a tale of two men this is jekyll and hyde
have you ever had a war with your mind? its like i'm two men
