Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Look at what they did to me, they burned me, they turned me

Into an animal, they flips and they burned me

To the first degree, me son, it hurt me

I looked out for the motherfuckers, they burned me

I was good, now I'm bad, see they done turned me

Into a monster, I can't believe they burned me

I showed them love, they showed me hate, they burned me

Now I'm heartless, your pain don't concern me

I got so many enemies, so many memories

So many flashbacks, we used to be friends

Sugar turned to shit, people just change

They keep pushing the nigga till the hammer go bang

You violate I will, let that motherfucker rain

Feels like money came then more money came and

Niggas start foaming out the mouth wrong thangs now

When did I become the savior of the hood?

Little homie you don't know me I wouldn't save you if I could

I sacrificed for suckers and they changed me, I'm angry

They selfish, all they want is what they want so they blame me

Like it's all my fault they ain't kicked up

You're a grown-ass man, damn, when you gon' wake up?

7 to 14, 14 to 28, I owe to 62

Nigga get up your weight, learn how to duck the Jakes

Stack the paper then you're straight

I try to help a nigga eat man it's hard out on the street

'Cause I'm kind they think I'm weak

They see the way I grind and they like the way I shine

They want paper like mine

Man they be on some shit when they're tryna hit a lick

Man a motherfucker flip

You think they won't trip 'cause you helped them from the rip?

They ain't loyal to shit

She called the cops on me

'Cause I don't love her like I used to

Tried to fix what was wrong, guess it hurts 'cause I'm gone

My son, he love me but she tryna poison his mind

Acting like everything they got ain't come from my grind

I say a prayer for her like "God, please change her heart"

All this hatred at one time is tearing me apart

Man I ain't looking for trouble, I'm looking for blessings

But ever since the money came, me I've been stressing

Got my ass kicked for being kind, I can't trust nobody

The closer they get to me, the more they take from me

Man, I'm giving all I got to give

I'm trying to live, they look at me, their eyes got dollar signs

They want the kid to give it all up, fall apart, break down

I ain't got much left, what they want to take now?
