Can’t Be Us

I want you to feel this shit
It's me
Fivi'
Uh

Look, I stayed at home fightin' my demons alone but prayin'
(Huh, watchin' how the gangstas do it)
I stayed alone, watchin' the woes in my zone, now I'm on
('Cause that's just how the gangstas do it)
Oh, I'm runnin' (uh)
The devil took everything he wanted (uh)
Ten toes down, I been a hunnid, uh
And every bag I get, I'm gon' run it
Look, 'cause I been drippin', and ballin', I can't give up
No I ain't slippin' or fallin', that can't be us (nah)
Nah, that can't be us
Yeah, nah, that can't be us (uh)

God sent signs and I read 'em (uh)
'Cause they can't do nothin' to you unless you let 'em (uh)
You 'posed to give 'em one chancе and then dead 'em (uh)
Shit, I gavе 'em like seven (yeah)
Shit, I thought they were my bredrin (bredrin)
Destined (destined)
They was in my heart but I cured that infection (uh)
I could've lost it all when a nigga got arrested (yeah)
That's why I thank God for these awards and these blessings (yeah)
They wanna rap too 'cause they see how rap changed my life
But lightning never strikes in the same spot twice
Can I live? (can I live?)
They said I couldn't do it, and I did (and I did)
Bitch, I'm the same fivio foreign since a kid (bitch)
Bitch, I'm the same fivio foreign since the crib
I started shinin' and them niggas stopped comin' to my vids
I remember, nigga (I remember, nigga)
Nigga (nigga)
Them niggas know what it is (uh)

I stayed at home fightin' my demons alone but prayin'
(Huh, watchin' how the gangstas do it)
I stayed alone, watchin' the woes in my zone, now I'm on
('Cause that's just how the gangstas do it)
Oh, I'm runnin' (uh)

Let me tell you what's emotional (uh)
That they can only touch you if they close to you (uh)
I'm a million dollar man, nigga
Look at what these vocals do (yeah)
The first time you ever said my name, I was over you (ha)
R.I.P. lakeema, R.I.P. vette
I was raised by angel, I was tought by the best (uh)
And when ping went to war, they almost shot him to death
And he'd leave in my door, on the floor, by the step
It's real, nigga (it's real, nigga)
I thank God for all my real niggas (yeah)
I pray that God give me strength so I can deal with 'em
I don't know who gon' backdoor, so I don't feel niggas
But I done been through so much pain, I start to heal quicker (uh)
I know they mad over the 'gram (yeah)
Nigga, I'm mad that I ever gave you a chance
Yeah, I love this life but I'll choose my family over my fans (any day, nigga)
Nigga, that's what make me a man

I stayed at home fightin' my demons alone but prayin'
(Huh, watchin' how the gangstas do it)
I stayed alone, watchin' the woes in my zone, now I'm on
('Cause that's just how the gangstas do it)
Oh, I'm runnin' (uh)
The devil took everything he wanted (uh)
Ten toes down, I been a hunnid, uh
And every bag I get, I'm gon' run it
Look, 'cause I been drippin', and ballin', I can't give up
No I ain't slippin' or fallin', that can't be us (nah)
Nah, that can't be us
Yeah, nah, that can't be us (uh)

It's like
I can't even express myself to nobody 'cause
I don't know who really care for real or who really just care 'cause I'm me
So I keep my feelings to myself, uh
I do this music, though
Trying to feed my family, that's the most important part
Yeah, I like inspiring others
See, if I did it, you could do it
I came from nothing, uh
I'm the nigga they hated
They hated that I made it
Ain't finna stop this shit, though
Yeah
