Lyrics for Never Will Know

What ya say to me? What ya say to me? What ya say to me? What ya say to me? Lil' nigga, what ya say to me? What ya say to me? What ya say to me? Hey, what ya say to me? What ya say to me? Lil' nigga, what ya say to me? Riding so low Never know when I'll get home 2 AM, riding alone Got no time for my phone I don't play games on the go Way too busy being stoned Couple hits from the bowl Too bad I got busted for dope Guess I don't know how to cope Everytime I'm awoke I have fantasies of a rope Leaving me strangled and choked, got me gasping for hope Now I'm back copping some more Cause it keeps me away from the metal Daily, a dance with the devil Anxieties, trying me Wire me, into a pedal Pressing me, wishing it would let go In search of a level of peace that I'd never reach Convinced I won't get there until I'm deceased Weaving my grief up inside instrumentals In case you were wondering, dawg I been over, just floating through time Taking L's for my friends Look my homie in the eyes, "Dawg, I love you I promise you'll never go homeless again" Thats my word, that's on God And if God get in the way I'mma have to put God to an end Give a fuck what you say Too many times I done prayed with no answer Ends up as a trend, riding so low Never know it Never wanted anything to do with it Thrown in it Had to live through it I was high, zooted off the notion that dude in the sky was judging me Thats why I'm through with it Bible verses bout as loud as bullets Spilling out the clip, it's like 'blaow', I feel it Got some niggas still up in that gang That claiming that the way I'm livings like a mental illness Fuck it all, fuck it up Suck it up, Suck it all What is all this commotion about? Cause I didn't care when the ocean was out I was only concerned when the tide had returned Stretching for lessons that I'd never learn That I was one of them yearly, nearly, dearly departed niggas Who burn for something more real Feel me dog? Thoughts revolve round beautiful, frilly, soft, angelic Heavenly cries that I despised I'll just stay laying in wait 'til I decide to do Something financially viable with my life I rap smooth, look good, talk good Whether academic or hood But thats just robotics, and now I'm apathetic And I haven't forgotten what I should Damn Fuck that shit, man, jump on a plane And get as far away as you possibly can Tryna find folks that are one in the same But now I'm starting to think that I'm alone in this game I don't know Was brought up to reach for the kingdom But shit is something that some nigga thought of For all of my loved ones I wish I could unteach what somebody taught em Phantoms on phantoms on phantoms on phantoms But really it's not what you thank All my homies either dead Or they ass is on the brink It's easy for your whole neighborhood to just go up and extinct When the meteor aiming for ya world Got artillery from the local precinct We yelling that gang, gang, gang, gang, gang Hope these words pierce you They torn through his fleece And rang all through his brain Recently this angers seemed to increase This flame gone catch his mane Lion rule jungle but man kills the beasts Broke his wings light frame Sorry, phone anyone but the police Excalibur, but hand not heavy enough to pull the shit out What we do now Neither's my nigga's nigga's So we get a mischievous nigga to figure it out Stick them feather tips right into your back Isn't the same, pathetically flap Keep that shit up, you really might crack The skyline, and nigga don't ever look back I'm the one, I'm the one, I'm the one Love you daughter, sorry son And if I make it out, I'll send a note Instructing you, detailing how to reach the sun He took a step, he crouched and leapt And as he fell, he muttered words His last breath, he said I never wanted to be bigger than god, my nigga For real, I just wanted to outrun my death And make it out of here
