[English]

[music]

[singing]

>> Yeah. Yeah.

Say, it's been a while, man.

Long days, long nights.

>> [music]

>> We're still here.

>> Mikey Joe made this.

>> Look.

>> [music]

>> I keep on pouring out my pain to the

world. I'm at war with myself. I need

help, I need [music] wealth. And my Call

me crazy cuz I talk to myself. When I

put everyone before me, should've

thought of myself. I got a story [music]

to tell. Cuz it's painful it sells, man.

I'm just trying to pay for these bills.

I ain't got no tears for no milk if it

spills. Baby, it's real in these fields.

Had to destroy and rebuild. They know

I'm ill with my skills. I probably hurt

a hundred chicks for [music] every chick

that hurt me. Except my baby mama for

trying to me. You lost your daughter in

the process. [singing] Was it really

worth it?

>> [music]

>> I watch her blossom every day. I guess

you don't deserve it.

Met this new chick and she portray she

perfect.

Would it be worth [music] it if you

don't make me earn it? If I

straight away, then I'm more likely

swerving. Only when I walk across the

bridge, I got a tenner [music] burning.

I'm just shaking off rust. All my

critics, man, I hope they all by a bus.

[music] And then I hope the bus just

ride back over you. You know. I know

that when I'm dead and buried, they're

going to kick up a fuss. This is hard

work and talent. I ain't having any

luck. I'm 15 years in and still I carry

my buzz. [music] I see rappers come and

go. At least they made a few bucks. You

know that they don't really love you.

They just fooled you with lust. [music]

Expectations always lead to

disappointment. It's probably why we

always disappointed. I live with my bad

traits. It's in my head that got some

voices here picking all my pleasures.

Most of time I just display them.

Looking in the [music] mirror like

What's a blogger ever done for you?

Every time [singing] you speak, these

mother always come for you. Ugly truth.

Clearly they ain't got no love for you.

[music]

But luckily for you, you don't love

them, too. Counting my blessings only

takes me a second. They think that

filming good [singing and music] deeds

is going to take them to heaven.

King of the peasants after risky

endeavors. And if I don't like the vibe,

you know the ties getting severed.

[music]

Me [singing] and Causey, that's like of

a feather flocking together never did we

crack under pressure whatever weather

[music] rainy days sharing umbrellas but

at least I kept my word when I said

times will get better mister keeping my

head up mister [music] carry my weight

you know mister always find a way to

keep the food on my plate you know she

ain't got no body but [music] she's put

days okay jobs while I'm driving till I

come face back before I gather I go

hunting for prey

you know how it is sometimes we hunting

for days

>> [music]

>> I told them fortune only favor the brave

it's forever about the money this was

never for fame never [music] I do

for never done it with shame never my

tummy dirty we was never the same never

my boy tried to help me but he done it

[music] in vain I told him seeing is

believing don't believe what they claim

>> [singing]

>> in the darkness it's just me and my

brain [music]

shackles and chains no escaping this

pain for every time I went off track I

made it back [music] in my lane before

he made me strong he nearly sent me

insane

they gave my brother life and he just

laughed [music] it off

when they used to go to cutting just to

and I there wasn't loud but I still

passed it off you know the ones I

started getting now I can't be stopped

pay the cost [music] to be the boss

sometimes you take a loss

lost my whole stack and had to shake it

off

life [music] hits you in the face it's

going to wake you up wake up I would

rather that you hate me than be fake in

love okay okay okay

show is over

goodbye

>> [music]

>> bow bow

>> [music]
