CAN'T EVEN KNOW

If it ain't guap I'm not concerned, still I got a lot to learn

Never fail no money, he told me that shit made his pockets burn

Been in jail, still avoiding Hell 'cause there, you gotta burn

Stay patient, can't be skipping blessings if it's not your turn

Remember I would knock the Firm, AZ, Nas and Foxy

Mama cooking gumbo way before he from Brasi

I built an empire like Gazi, watch **** copy

Michelin-starred dinners or grab a sandwich from Haji

Versace, might pocket the Tyson fight in his silk

Pops tried to warn me, stay out of prison, fuck how you feel

I was built, seen blood on the pavement after it spilled

Auntie sent me to the store to get milk, almost got killed

Seen a Buick, it was tinted, **** hanging out the window

Reminded me of Menace, first instinct was to get low

I wasn't the target, but was close enough to see the victim

He hopped out, stood over him, and let Jesus kiss him

Mask on

You couldn't see who did it

I was like twelve, still in my mind, I got this evil picture

I watched him jump back in his car, blow the light, he made a left

And I cherish the air, 'cause **** they take your breath

Homicides left me traumatized

Seen mommas cry, still surprised, they ask how I'm alive

It's time to slide, the way they died, that shit was out of line

Before I run out of this money, I run out of time

No more codeine in my soda, I drink alkaline

I gotta keep the peace like Martin with a Malcolm mind

Shoot a gun with ease, and I can work this scalpel fine

Eyes wide watchin' for Babylon, white girl we call Caroline

Cool with the Nation, couple homies follow Farrakhan

I lost homies, I'll never get back, before I had a song

Before I wrote a record, overstressing my holy blessings

Copped the whole collection, out of service, I got no connection

No self possession, smoke the essence, they quote these lessons

Talk and quote me stretching, dead presidentials like Hova's Lexus

Them homicides left me traumatized

Seen mamas cry, still surprised, asked how I'm alive

It's time to slide, the way they died, that shit was out of line

Before I run out of this money, I run out of time

Before I run out of this money, I run out of time

Before I run out of this money, I run out of time

Bottom line

Left me traumatized

Never be the same

Them homicides left me traumatized, I promise

Never get 'em back
