If Only

If only you knew
 I got flesh wounds bigger than you
 Funny how they all wanna watch my steps
 But they couldn't run a mile in my shoes
 If only you knew
 Exactly what a brother been through
 Make you really wanna roll up, get high
 Sip until the bottle see through
 If only you knew
 How much they pay for your silence?
 How much of all that money you save
 To put on your brother consignment?
 How did you sleep through the violence?
 You just get used to the sirens
 You just got stuck in the cycle now
 They look at you like it's my fault
 May not have been in the place to save you
 All I can offer is guidance
 Nights we were racking up milage
 You used to whip with no licence
 Can't ride around with that regular regular
 What we were serving was science
 Clearer than water or diamonds
 We had the wave like Poseidon
 Fuck up the re up on ego
 I know the industry evil
 I know a couple of devils in Prada tuxedos
 I know they see us like negros
 Until we came through with that black and white
 Seeing numbers like I'm Neo
 Doing numbers like casino
 But all that loving a placebo
 Energy switch up
 Phone don't pick up
 Subs on twitter
 Blood came thicker
 Must be the dope
 That made you slow
 Even with the chains you were still my nigga
 Me on the throne
 You see me calling, you see me shining
 You didn't like it
 Must be a pride ting
 If only you knew
 I got flesh wounds bigger than you
 Funny how they all wanna watch my steps
 But they couldn't run a mile in my shoes
 If only you knew
 Exactly what a brother been through
 Make you really wanna roll up, get high
 Sip until the bottle see through
 If only you knew
 Everybody talk, everybody chat
 Everybody shook, everybody relax
 Stand up straight, don't watch face
 You don't wanna see another brother relapse
 Count my steps, clock my pace
 Jump my grave but I don't need that
 I just want the crown and world off my back
 I just need riz and fountain of jack
 Yeah Yeah I heard you, cool
 Didn't need them in first place, cool
 Didn't see them on my worst day, cool
 No we ain't cool, no we ain't dunce
 No I ain't done
 Man wanna try take kindness for fool
 Married to the game, prenup the divorce
 Can't be friends man it's not by force
 Can't be them man, they look forced
 Nasty
 Phone book is looking ghastly
 Please don't ever put it past me
 You don't want the truth then why you ask me
 Belly Empty think I'm fasting
 Turn the heat up think it's bali'
 Let my hair down think I'm Marley Wailing
 Here forever ever
 If only you knew
 I got flesh wounds bigger than you
 Funny how they all wanna watch my steps
 But they couldn't run a mile in my shoes
 If only you knew
 Exactly what a brother been through
 Make you really wanna roll up, get high
 Sip until the bottle see through
 If only you knew
 Tell them to keep the same energy
 Can't pillow talk with the enemy
 That's how Adam discovered his jealousy Cautious
 Can't lend an ear to the talkers
 Me and my niggas do walk ups
 Leave or they fall like it's autumn then
 Stay on your mind like a chorus
 Fed up of underachieving
 You buy what they selling your dreaming
 Can't learn from hunger by eating
 You get left behind if you sleeping
 How much you gave to the preacher
 Racking up base with a visa
 Forgot we got rich of amnesia
 Just to get by like Felicia
 Energy switch up
 Phone don't pick up
 Subs on twitter
 Blood came thicker
 Must be the dope
 That made you slow
 Even with the chains you were still my nigga
 Me on the throne
 You see me calling, you see me shining
 You didn't like it
 Must be a pride ting
 If only you knew
 I got flesh wounds bigger than you
 Funny how they all wanna watch my steps
 But they couldn't run a mile in my shoes
 If only you knew
 Exactly what a brother been through
 Make you really wanna roll up, get high
 Sip until the bottle see through
 If only you knew
