I keep to myself I'm looking for answers, got too many problems
I've been laying low and no I ain't talking, no I ain't no loudmouth
Tried being elusive got lost in the process, don't know where the time went
It's moving too fast my city forgot me, my city forgot me
I'm stuck in a rut my sis never woke up, I feel like I'm dreaming
Old lady done left me but I can't be heartbroke, I gave her a reason
Gave her my heart but ain't give her no time
All of this time I was chasing my dreams
Doing my thing out on the road, I'm just a playa I wanna play
Stuck in the love of this game
They just in love with the fame
But love is it real is it fake
In love with a dancer but I should've listened to Pain
Caught up in similar ways like my pops was
Shout out to the homies that's locked up
Shout out to the homies that came up
You the inspiration that we use when we down so keep the game up
It seems like the world's moving on without me
I've been on my own trying to find my peace
Though I've seen better days, I'll find my way
So just hold it down for your boy (Uh-oh)
Keep the love around for your bou (Woah-oh)
And I'll never change, I'll stay the same
They'll never bring me down
Well now I barely feel connected to my spirit sometimes
Like I'm running on my last fumes strange years of my life
Highs, mids and the lows, flip lows, mids and the highs
Guys who's engineering this and is he mixing it right
Driven by different visions within my decisions that I choose
Mixing that with fading luck so is it really up to you
I can't complain I'm blessed I'm sane I'm dressed
But I'm strained and stressed like the rest in the west-ern
Hemisphere when it's clear I may veer off
When it's challenging balance beam then I steer on - track
We react to what life throws but I froze
Unthawed and rethought that we got the right tools
No love lost, what it cost I paid dues
Break the rules, fuck the dumb, do the fool
From Oakland we gone dumb we been smart
Full of heart, hella art tell my part, player
There we're where were supposed to be, yeah
It seems like the world's moving on without me
I've been on my own trying to find my peace
Though I've seen better days, I'll find my way
So just hold it down for your boy (Uh-oh)
Keep the love around for your bou (Woah-oh)
And I'll never change, I'll stay the same
They'll never bring me down
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way
They'll never break me down
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way
They'll never break me down
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way
They'll never break me down
No way
