I′m just letting that shit flow out
fuck it, I bet go ahead, go
Know what I'm saying? Fuck it
Ay, ay, I′m done crying
Ay, ay, ay, ay (I put my people on my back)

(Oh yeah, Hydro) I'm trying to tell
myself the same old shit (same old shit)
Stopped giving them my all
when they giving they ass a kiss (kiss)
All I hear is excuses, excuses, excuses
How y'all want me to win when y′all the reason I′m losing?
I showed my dawg
still don't get it still (still, don′t get it still)
'Cause we′re in the same predicament that we was just in

Baby, I'm trying to chase a billion
you still keep complaining
Keyanta, how you know you love me?
Bae, I′m tired of explaining
Just might cancel off my job
when I'm telling them it's entertaining
Everybody using me to get on
that′s why I′m tired of being famous
I'm moving along without my heart
because love just too dangerous for me

How we in this shit together, nobody in the ring with me?
I need kids, I still don′t know how to be a father
It's been killing me, telling myself I need to go harder
And my memory′s starting to fade away, I'm so heartless
While I′m climbing to the top
you know I'm gonna fall down regardless

Trying to learn my brother again
he just got outta prison (he got outta prison)
You been goin' away too long
this shit been different (shit been different, man)
I been tryna stay on a straight path
but I been drifting (I′ve been drifting)
Hard time, got these niggas changing
it′s ridiculous (it's ridiculous)
Scotty just sent me a kite from jail
it caught me by surprise

He said what he felt inside that box
it brought tears straight to my eyes
Nigga I was on the side of you, forever I ride
Nigga, don′t ever second question me, for you, I'd die
When I fought, yet I ain′t fall back
nigga, I went straight in
When we was drowning on the deep end
I taught us how to swim (watch this)

When everybody lost faith I brought hope to us nigga
When they all counted us out, we ran up numbers on niggas
I ain't bought no chain since
boy got locked in the chain gang
I ain′t stopped grinding, since I been winning
I've been on the same thing
I shared the bits to get y'all out
so we all could be at the top

Been tryna get Trae home for seven years
and I still ain′t never stopped
I ain′t putting family over everything
this brothers shit forever
When the guys need a lawyer
we supposed to split it down the middle
But I, when I'm stressing about this shit, nobody crying
But I, couldn′t even call nobody for
help to wipe the tears from my eyes, hey

I got scars from this war, put that stick on old boy
And my brothers died for my choices
And from the day they spent back, I done doubled to get back
Inside my head, I heard voices
Shed a light to the dark, only time I'm close to the star
When I′m back, I'm back in the Royces

I put my people on my back and now we riding, riding
(I came from far) only the strong survive (I came from far)
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
You gotta stand ten toes on the shit, ten toes, you hear me?
′Cause only the strong survive
