Angels

Hmm
Yeah
So I keep hearin' the angels call out my name like
Just know the past is just the past, nigga my best days ahead of me
And that's what the **** I'm walkin' toward
Amen
Ayy, look
Know I ain't perfect but my lil' sister think I'm the shit, nigga (Ha)
So I ain't changin', what you see what you get, nigga
Waitin' for me to give up and stop yeah right you wish, nigga
Mother****ers need to get off my ****, nigga
I was missin' the big picture
Switch my old frame of mind, now I'm open
Shawty I can't afford not to focus, don't wanna go back to the days I was hopeless
I was broke but I still wasn't broken
Still remember what Tushe told me, nigga
Don't let no hard time ever make you softspoken
Thought if ain't nobody got me, he got me
They hit him with a charge and it shocked me
I ain't talkin' Sylvester Stalone
But I felt all alone when this shit had got Rocky
Niggas thought I would drown, guess they ain't know I'm too mother****in' cocky to stop me
Plus I'm good in that water like Lochte
Used to think I can't do it, then watch me
All my life it was rainin', pourin'
Now I'm rockin' the stages, tourin'
Got so used to the pain, it was foreign to smile, now I'm up in the game, I'm scorin'
Never wanted the fame or fortune
Trials and tribulations made it necessity
Tryna not let this life get the best of me
I just feel like God constantly testin' me
Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like
(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you felt some pain
Don't know the sun gon' shine 'less you seen some rain
Maybe I'm goin' insane
Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like
(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you seen some pain
Don't know the sun gon' shine 'less you seen some rain
**** how far we got to go, nigga look how far we done came
Ayy, I got that me versus me tatted as a reminder that this life ain't forever
So every day I'm breathin' I'ma be better
Than before, I ain't never been scared to walk with whoever
Except for that man in the mirror, 'cause I know he know me like the pot know the kettle
Too busy pioneerin' shit for me to settle down
Gotta play the game to beat the game, I'm at a new level now, niggas hatin'
Been underrated so God damn long, I don't care how y'all rate me
Talk to God on the daily, give a **** what y'all niggas sayin'
Hear me loud and clearly
Keep that bullshit off from near me
Bruh, cos 'fore I let you **** up my life, you gon' have to kill me
My life do a 360 five times on a ****in' yearly
Just so people near me, can numb they pain, you gotta feel me
Hol' up
Long as my momma good, I'm good as can be
That lil' bread ain't no dope boy, look like Cuba Gooding to me
Nah I ain't made enough yet to get my boys out the hood
But once I do y'all niggas ain't gon' be able to say nothin' to me
Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like
(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you felt some pain
Don't know the sun don' shine 'less you seen some rain
Maybe I'm goin' insane
Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like
(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you seen some pain
Don't the sun gon' shine 'less you seen some rain
**** how far we got to go, nigga look how far we done came
Angel on my right shoulder the devil sit on my left one
As I walk a mile to change this life, those in my direction
Who needs a mirror to see a reflection, I see myself
Even when the world is dark, and I can't see anything else
I done felt it all
Every emotion, every sensation
(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Been a prisoner in my mind, in a cell of my own creation
I wanna escape it
But then again I don't, because this
Made me everything I am, I just pray I never forget
