The more that I want, the more that I grind
03:17
The more that I shine, the more that I stride
03:19
The more that I stunt, the more that I cheat
03:20
The more that she leaves, the more that she cry
03:22
The harder to trust, the more that I lie
03:23
The more that she died, the more I realize
03:25
The more that I, the more that I
03:26
(Yeah, yeah)
03:29
The more that I try, the more that I want
03:29
The more that I grind, the more that I shine
03:30
The more that I stride, the more that I stunt
03:31
The more that I cheat, the more that she leaves
03:33
The more that she cry, the harder to trust
03:34
The more that I lie, the more that she dies
03:36
Somehow I realize I'm harder to love
03:37
I'm harder to-
03:39
I'm harder to teach, my heart is a beat
03:40
And I am a drum, I'm harder to keep
03:41
But harder to sleep
03:45
I'm scared of the dark, I'm not gonna run
03:45
I'm harder to break, but harder to make
03:47
You get in my way, I'm drawing my gun
03:48
I'm not gonna play, I'm not for the games
03:51
I'm not gonna change, put that on my son
03:53
Put that on my mom, put that on my sis
03:53
Put that on my bitch and all of my hoes
03:54
Put that on my team, put that on my G's
03:55
I say what I mean, you already know
03:56
Put that on my city, put that on my Bentley
03:58
I got me a Beamer, I wanted a Rolls
04:00
Sip on some Henny and ride with the semi
04:01
All my niggas with me, I'm calling a toast
04:03
(Blah, blah, blah)
04:05
Callin' the plug, you callin' the cops
04:06
I call you a snitch, you holdin' a grudge
04:07
You callin' the judge, you say you a thug
04:08
I call you a bitch, I call you a hoe
04:10
Don't call me your bro, don't call me no more
04:11
I call you a trick, I'm tired of the hate
04:13
I'm tired of the snakes, I'm tired of your face
04:14
You all on my dick
04:16
I wanted the fame, I wanted the name
04:17
I wanted a break, I wanted to love
04:18
I wanted the cake, I wanna be great
04:20
I wanted to change and all the above
04:21
You want me to fall, you want me to crawl
04:23
You want me to stall, they want me on drugs
04:24
You want me to fail, they want me in jail
04:26
They wantin' my soul, they wantin' my blood
04:27
I'm out for revenge, I'm out for the ends
04:29
I'm out for respect, I'm out for the crown
04:31
I'm out for the reign, they startin' to aim
04:32
I hopped in the plane, I'm not going down
04:33
I'm dodging the flames, they callin' my name
04:35
I wanna be saved but I don't know how
04:36
I thought I was saved, but I got a plan
04:38
Let's hold up the chopper and ride it around, woo
04:39
I roll up on 'em while you sleep (Ho), you gon' see
04:41
It's a fuckin' murder spree (Brrat, brrat), you gon' see
04:44
Won't nobody say a peep (Bah, bah), you gon' see
04:47
Don't you turn your back on me (Brrat, bah), you gon' see
04:50
Roll up on 'em while you sleep (Bah), catch a nigga slippin'
04:53
I might hit him with the (Bah, bah, bah), they gon' miss him
04:56
'Cause revenge feels sweet (Woo), you gon' see
04:59
Won't nobody say a peep (Bah, bah), you gon' see
05:02
Give me a pen, I don't even drink
05:05
But fuck it, I need some Henny and gin
05:07
Plenty of sins
05:08
I broke my bitch's heart, she'll never forgive me again
05:09
Where have you been?
05:11
I had to go find myself, I killed and buried my friends
05:13
I never could swim
05:14
I used to push some weight with niggas who been in the gym
05:15
Come step in my Timbs
05:17
You could not walk in my path, I never caught no cabs, I had to walk
05:18
Niggas was lost and sad, I never would call my dad
05:20
Fuck that nigga
05:23
I was depressed as fuck, mentally torn in half
05:25
Feelin' stuck
05:27
When it was to laugh, the music was all I had
05:28
Wish I could be out
05:29
I never got any doubt, what's all the plottin' about?
05:31
They drownin' me out
05:33
Everyone callin' me out, nobody try to reach out
05:34
You proud of me now
05:35
Niggas will flip the script, I cannot live to quit
05:37
I don't wanna chill, I don't wanna get no flicks
05:39
Don't wanna rekindle shit
05:41
It's N-O-T, don't you flex on me
05:42
I do not get no sleep
05:43
I'm barely up, hope you ante up
05:45
Word to M.O.P, you don't know me
05:46
I need my revenge, it ain't no more peace
05:48
I'm rollin' deep and finna turn your block up into World War 3
05:51
I roll up on 'em while you sleep (Ho), you gon' see
05:54
It's a fuckin' murder spree (Brrat, brrat), you gon' see
05:57
Won't nobody say a peep (Bah, bah), you gon' see
06:00
Don't you turn your back on me (Brrat, bah), you gon' see
06:03
Roll up on 'em while you sleep (Bah), catch a nigga slippin'

06:12
Won't nobody say a peep (Bah, bah), you gon' see
06:15
The older the berry, the sweeter the juice
06:18
Knew I could do it, I needed the proof
06:20
In order to lose, I needed to win
06:21
In order to win, I needed to choose
06:23
I needed to fall, I needed to move
06:24
I couldn't be safe, I couldn't be you
06:26
I'm coming for everything they said I couldn't
06:27
Including your plate and all of your food
06:29
I don't wanna do no E
06:31
Don't wanna drink, I don't wanna do no lean
06:32
I don't wanna move no keys
06:33
How you like me now? I'm too OG
06:35
I feel like Kool Moe Dee
06:36
Ain't gon' be no slatt, my whole team'll crack
06:38
I see no flat, never see no smacks
06:40
They left me the straps
06:42
I Tebow'd that, think I'm cursed again
06:43
Went to church, they sayin' I did a lot
06:45
Mama quit her job, she won't work again
06:46
I've been on top, got a mental block
06:49
And it hurts but then I bid and shop
06:50
And my bitch is fly, she a perfect ten
06:53
That's M-O-B, don't you flex on me
06:55
I do not get no sleep
06:57
I'm problematic and I gotta have it
06:58
Word to Ed OG, you don't know me
07:00
I need my revenge, no more peace
07:02
I'm rollin' deep and finna turn your block up into World War 3

[English]
The more that I want, the more that I grindThe more that I shine, the more that I stride
The more that I stunt, the more that I cheat
The more that she leaves, the more that she cry
The harder to trust, the more that I lie
The more that she died, the more I realize
The more that I, the more that I
(Yeah, yeah)
The more that I try, the more that I want
The more that I grind, the more that I shine
The more that I stride, the more that I stunt
The more that I cheat, the more that she leaves
The more that she cry, the harder to trust
The more that I lie, the more that she dies
Somehow I realize I'm harder to love
I'm harder to-
I'm harder to teach, my heart is a beat
