This is what it takes just to feel alive
I'll be acting like I'm 5 'til I'm 99
Me and Mikey on a mission not to fail the mission
Bumps and bruises are expected Jay, so quit the bitchin'
They always show me so much love when I'm out in Richmond
I Come back home and rock a show, and then they treat me different
But that's ok boy, I'm too gifted, I'll still be ambitious.
My love for liquor mixed with women serve as my nutrition
Man, I swear it brings me tears to see my brother good
For him to make it out his struggle man, I know we good
Now I won't say just what it is due to privacy
But if you know, just know I see yo' ass as family
The devil sees me doing well then he pokes his nose
But that's ok, I'll dance around him with tequila toes
I swear I look inside my mirror I see Peter Parker
But my city'd rather treat me like I'm Peter Rose
That's how it goes
But like I said I'm stayin' five like I'm Peter Pan
I know you thinkin' well god damn, how you gon' be the man?
I guess there's only one way for you to understand
When I pull up in my beamer with a hundred grand
All I know is dreamin' big and I won't stop
Pull up on you, hit my dougie with my porkchop, that's my bitch
When she hear me call her that she'll fuck me up
But when she hears the hook, I swear that she won't give a fuck
So when the devil comes around me in disguising clothes
I'll be fine, I'll dance around him with tequila toes
When's depression gonna hit? I swear you'll never know
But you'll be fine, just dance around it with tequila toes
Got people round me pointing fingers mad at who I am
I laugh it up with middle fingers, I don't give a damn
I know it's hard to feel alive, when you're feeling low
But you'll be fine, just dance around it with tequila toes
I know I got a lot of problems and I need to grow up
I just hope that when I leave here that my city knows us
Know one day that I'm a die and my fingers won't clutch
I just pray that when it happens that my city knows us
I know I got a lot of problems and I need to grow up
I just hope that when i leave here that my city knows us
Know one day that I'm a die and my fingers won't clutch
I just pray that when it happens that my city knows us
This is my exit bow
Fallin' and I'm sinkin', don't think I'll make it out
Crushed from all my drinkin'
Listen for one last shout
You'll hear what I been thinkin'
I been turned by grey, lost my way
Dance with pain until I fade away
First shot's for anxiety, second shot's for the self loathing
Third shot's for the bad bitch, on the dance floor, in the pink clothin'
Pussy nigga with a fat cock, hide my heart away behind a padlock
In a cool fridge where it's not hot, cause a warm smile makes the soul rot
I been walkin' 'round like I'm not lost, but I am though
Only friends are the Jack D and the Jim Beam, and the Jose gold handles but
I can't worry bout my struggles, I got life to live
Got drunk with my baby and she told me this
So when the devil comes around me in disguising clothes
I'll be fine, I'll dance around him with tequila toes
When's depression gonna hit? I swear you'll never know
But you'll be fine, just dance around it with tequila toes
Got people 'round me pointing fingers mad at who I am
I laugh it up with middle fingers, I don't give a damn
I know it's hard to feel alive, when you're feeling low
But you'll be fine, just dance around it with tequila toes
I know I got a lot of problems and I need to grow up
I just hope that when I leave here that my city knows us
