Free (Interlude) - Trouble

Oh man not again, I lost another one of my friends

They say back in the pen, was I trying to make some dividends

He got a family to take care of, so I understand he was eager

Just wishin' I had a better position to hold down my people

That reefer I been dying to hit, had to quit in April

Fucked around and failed the piss test, knowin' that I’m still on papers

Got five years left Mama cryin' as I tell her over the phone

Thinkin' that I’m finna get sent back to prison and she gon' be all alone

Now it’s this that God sent me, that message it was a blessing

Could’ve spared me, just put me in classes, lookin' out for my ass

And they police who I been hatin' for my whole life, I know right

They told me it was my destiny to get the whole mob right

Now, hate is what I tell 'em, but I still be on the bullshit in time

Spendin' my time in clubs, fuckin' dimes trying to shine

I dropped «Bussin'», niggas knew what it was before I did it

But admittin' on some trill shit, life kinda blinded me, wasn’t no findin me

I wasn’t hittin' the studio, even thinkin', just drinkin'

Shootin' pool with the dudes, I called school for rules that I’d be livin' by

It’s your balls, it’s your word

If you can’t hold 'em, put your brains on the curb

And I told Ricky I would hold him down, and Black the same thing

So since I been slackin', wonderin' if I should let my brains hang low

It’s what I tell myself, just get your shit together

told me if I knew better, then I’d do better

I wrote out my whole crew letters

Let 'em know I love 'em in a text message expressin' my pain

Saying that I would kill the game

And I’mma stay the same though, that ain’t a question

Just like it ain’t a question about the dudes I named in questions

431 days free, I’m givin' you all of me

Niggas count up the time they did in the pen but not free on the streets

Last time I seen Bigga Rankin, dog, I was on the run

In a 650 with a semi-gun

And a stash bitch, you don’t want none

Edgewood where I come from, 10 million dollar lickin' on 8

What I can’t get cause I fucked around and got spent

But I took mine when I did time, came home even stronger (stronger!)

DTE for life and after we don’t breed characters

Yeah, Yeah

DTE for life and after we don’t breed characters

Yeah, Yay

DTE for life and after we don’t breed characters

May God bless the tape (the tape, the tape)
