[English]

Give me a beat, Jay

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm (ooh-yeah)

Mm-mm (Aus in the spot), yeah

I got money for my wants and needs, but (my wants and my needs)

On this road - get lonely (- get lonely, yeah-yeah)

Am I surrounded by the right folk?

And nah I ain't aight but e'rythin' gon' be aight though (oh)

But it feel like the walls cavin' in (walls cavin' in)

And my heart hurtin' so I'm playin' pretend (playin' pretend)

That - hurt my soul, got me walkin' on a tight rope (tight rope, whoo-whoo)

Nah, I ain't aight (on the gang, gang) but e'rythin' gon' be aight though

That independent - be cool but you be needin' people

Can't judge a book just by the cover, I be readin' people

I'm not the type to clear up rumors, just believe them people

And my existence killin' -, yeah, I breathe illegal

In love a crazy place to be, I don't be tryna go there

And doin' right by a - ain't never got me nowhere (facts)

I walked past the mirror, f- around and seen a GOAT (that's me)

They said they had my back, I turned around and seen a ghost (the f-?)

Damn near start beefin' with your day ones if you tell 'em, "No" (on God)

What about the times that I said, "Yeah", you lil' ungrateful -

Damn (crazy), and that just goes to show

If - ain't genuine, the - is you around me for? (For real)

Kicked down the door and then got in the game like, "Pardon me" (pardon me)

Looked up to the sky, the only star I saw was me (me)

They wish they held me down, now they can't get a hold of me

Ain't tryna come off as too cocky, but that's how it's 'posed to be, on gang

I got money for my wants and needs, but (my wants and my needs)

On this road, - get lonely, yeah (- get lonely, yeah-yeah)

Am I surrounded by the right folk?

And nah I ain't aight but e'rythin' gon' be aight though (oh)

But it feel like the walls cavin' in (walls cavin' in)

And my heart hurtin' so I'm playin' pretend (playin' pretend)

That - hurt my soul, got me walkin' on a tight rope (tight rope)

Nah, I ain't aight but e'rythin' gon' be aight though (whoo)

I looked in the mirror and seen my only competition (haha)

Indeed, couldn't even get a - to fill in my position (nah, for real)

Got no regrets, but I can't lie, I got a couple wishes

For one, I wish I never met you, maggot a- -

It be so painful askin' folks - -, it hurt my pride

And I be fightin' some tough - battles but still be outside

Learned to forgive people even if they don't apologize

And it might come off as weak, but I just wanted peace of mind

Industry - wanna f-, that's it, they ain't on -

Only let two of 'em hit, both of 'em had a -

Damn, - really ain't - (on God)

But they be lookin' so in love on all 'em IG pics (whoo)

No cap, I was a black sheep, thank the Lord, He was my shepherd

She tried to do it like me, gave the - an "E" for effort (she tried)

I just pray one day the bad - would come together

'Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f- records

Me and JT ain't the best of friends, but we ain't beefin'

Know - always havin' ana that they keep a secret (for real)

Forever clappin' for the next -, I ain't competin' (never)

Pop yo' -, - (pop it), turn up on them people (go)

They treat this - like competition, I see it as art

-'ll be platinum in the hood, but it won't see the charts

I'm in a love hate relationship with my damn heart

So I go with my mind right now, I gotta play it smart

Don't follow trends and I don't do the - e'rybody do (facts)

Know I'm the -, I'm the - they compare e'rybody to

Nah, for real, I take this - as a compliment, like I feel like I'm that - fasho

Like they feelin' my campaign, you feel me? (Ya feel me?)

I got money for my wants and needs, but (my wants and my needs)

On this road, - get lonely, yeah (- get lonely, yeah-yeah)

Am I surrounded by the right folk?

And nah I ain't aight but e'rythin' gon' be aight though (oh)

But it feel like the walls cavin' in (walls cavin' in)

And my heart hurtin' so I'm playin' pretend (playin' pretend)

That - hurt my soul, got me walkin' on a tight rope (a tight rope)

Nah, I ain't aight but e'rythin' gon' be aight though
