Alone / EA6 (Slowed)

I know that but being around, in that atmosphere and seeing how people move You know seeing how, how they make records, you know what kind of record they make I'm just like, I don't want this shit for myself And I don't ever want niggas to try to pull me into that 'Cause I've been tugged a couple times like, "Ayy, do this shit man, do that" But I'm like man, I don't want, I don't want that for me, man And if I keep tellin' y'all I don't want that shit for me And y'all keep, you know, tryna nudge and push I understand y'all got your vision and y'all got your formula But that shit don't work for me, man, I'm not gon' conform Like, I'm not settling for that shit 'Cause if I do it once and it pop, I'ma have to keep doing that shit over and over again You can't build no fanbase like that You, you become, you become, you become a fuckin' song instead of a person That shit, I'm not, I'm not tryna be that, man Mmm, migraines from overthinking, I'm tryna let go Let go of my past, man, that shit been tryna creep up, up Contemplating on if I'm really as strong as I thought, bitch, I might be Quick to pull me down but as much as I've seen, I can't fall, it's unlikely Shit get a little twisted up I put my troubles in a dirty then I mix it up I'm 'bout to change my number like I haven't switched enough This is home and you ain't Zone 6 enough Gone I'm from East Atlanta Zone If you ain't from it, take your ass home I let my heart talk, keep my mental strong Speak the whole truth 'til my money long Half of them don't even know your name I don't want that, I want people to know who the fuck I am I want people to know what I stand for I want people to be personal and know "This is 6LACK, this is what he believe in" What we need to talk about Get gone, get gone, yeah-yeah Got the past whispering in my ear He flaw, she flaw, what's wrong? I got troubles, and they won't leave me alone It seems like e'rybody got something to say E'rybody got a look they tryna get off of their face E'rybody got an opinion and I don't want one Tryna tell me a better way to do some shit you ain't ever done Sips drink in the booth Black down to my shoes Kick shit with my troops Kicking shit, Ryu You not with the shit why you Front for those who don't matter When they not thinking about you? If I learned anything, it would probably be to listen more than I talk And don't brag about what I got, just multiply what I brought I never dwell on a loss Never give a nigga sauce He might run off with it all, he might run off with it all He might run off with, he might run off with it all Get gone get gone, yeah-yeah Got the past whispering in my ear He flaw, she flaw, what's wrong?
