Pigeonman

I keep my head on a swivel for the 'digm shift
 These niggas hungry, so is we
 Ink next to the x, I know that nothing really free
 Get it how I live, and nigga, that's just how it be
 Said nigga, that's just how it go
 Need my fix to feed my soul
 Yeah, that's just how it go
 
 I thought I knew but I ain't know
 (I thought I knew but I ain't know)
 Yeah, uh, yeah
 Your flag red
 You not shooting or blood
 That shoulda stopped me in my tracks but it ain't
 End of the day all what we craving is love
 Traded my sanity for validation, needed a hug
 I'm slipping, falling, pick me up, I'm coming back, you the plug
 No wonder Mari saying love is a drug
 I ain't believe him
 Now I'm trapped in a cell
 Tryna figure how to maneuver this hell
 I love it and I fucking hate it but I'm tryna prevail
 See I only wake for money to chase
 They call me veil it bring a smile to my face
 I know my efforts really working well
 But every time you come around you got some shit to say
 Reached the point I need my space, asking God to cut me loose
 Yeah, let me fly, let me breathe, on this Pigeonman shit
 I'm with the doves they're what I need
 I'm gone I'm out the way that's what they pleaded
 Read that 5500 on the dash
 Bitch I'm speeding out the motherfucking mix
 That's to where I've always been
 You attracting all that negativity,
 I let you in, past my better judgment
 And I can't even begin to forget
 I hate the fact that you still live in my head
 I still remember that that version is dead
 And I try to cope, I'll just leave you on read
 I brag and boast that I'm still getting this bread
 Cause anything to replace the feeling you never gave
 Percussion sticks on wide metal rims is helping me ease the pain
 If I ain't never had this outlet niggas would just see my brain
 And my blood on the walls cause it's all the same
 I missed your call I heard them calling my name
 Cause one got praise and one need someone to blame
 You get the picture, nigga fuck the frame
 It's about success, my nigga fuck the fame
 'Cause I could go to the grave hustling, long as niggas knew my pain
 'Cause we all hungry, bro, it's all the same
 This life a gamble, we gon' play the game
 Ya dig? Yeah
 I keep my head on a swivel for the 'digm shift
 These niggas hungry, so is we
 Ink next to the x, I know that nothing really free
 Get it how I live, and nigga, that's just how it be
 Said nigga, that's just how it go
 Need my fix to feed my soul
 Yeah, that's just how it go
 I thought I knew but I ain't know
 (I thought I knew but I ain't know)
