[English]

I'm destroyed on the inside

I'm dying inside

Say I'm hard to love, but I love hard

Casualties I lost in war, I suffer without cause

My children needed me, the system won't accept they calls

Supposed to be tourin' out the country, I'm behind a wall

Every man must search his own soul, but God for us all

Ran it back to M's right in front of him when I lost it all

Eulogy and funeral came out of nowhere, still I hold it down

Jail wouldn't even let me leave to see him put her in the ground

Tellin' Jay it don't even make sense to even come in town

Private jets and Lear strips to pull up, cash deposit out

My partner say they tryna give him life, but he gon' ride it out

Pick your best 12, your skin not white, you got to fight it out

My mother's health decreasing, we barely speakin', tryna build a bond

Vision depletin', difficult to see her oldest son

Pray the Lord blessed me every season with a holy run

I'll check off, swingin', maybe this'll be a hole-in-one

Million dollar stream next week, I'm thinkin', "Hole-in-one"

Say you love me, yeah, know I'm not the only one

We hit ATL, buyin' candy while I purchase flowers

Mucho and Mozzy grave, I pray we sit and talk for hours

Showin' off all of my diamonds and my latest watches

Reminiscin' 'bout the times when you was right on side me

Keep that other business tucked, I know you know I got it

Got all the cake been baked, I dressed it with the nicest icing

Soon as I get that business clear, I lay it right on side you

Bulletproof vest, two dead fishes, silly Luca Brasi

Ferrari yellow Bumblebee, get AMG coupe, I'm ridin'

Clean my image up, they know that I'm still out my body

Got away from everybody, tryna renew my peace

Ninety days and countin', me and big brother still ain't speakin'

Dealin' with a lot, afraid to let 'em see me weaken

No surrender, no retreat

But I'm dying inside

Accepted every win same as I did defeat

On the internet complainin', why you playin' with me?

Not on social media, not entertainin' beef

Parked 'em with the pop out on feet and put that bitch to sleep

Exercised discretion, movin' real discreet

These niggas pure pussy, tell 'em how they keep it P

Who I love, I don't discuss, prefer to keep it G

I'm dying inside

Nobody's perfect, I've been healin', I've been through some things

Learnin' how to fly again, I regrew my wings

Actin' out of self-love, learnin' how to do for me

Two-point-two million purple diamond pinky ring

Eleven-point-twenty-eight carats diamond on the other ring

Genuine, when I used to pray to God, sayin', "You for me?"

Now I'm a new creature, everything ain't how it used to be

I reciprocate the energy that you produce for me

Learned how to take it on the chin and view it as a lesson

Heaven made my heart too big, and I think it's the fact prayin'

Praying God, "Please set it back to the factory settings"

I don't want love again

'Cause I'm dying inside

Please set it back to the factory settings

I don't want love again

'Cause I'm dying inside

Don't be mad at me, bro, I'm just healin', boy, you heard me?

I'm just healin', boy

I deal with a lot

I'm dying inside

Please set it back to the factory settings
