Death Of Me

Pocket full of boarding passes

I don't know what city I was in last

But I'm out here tryna make a impact

Same time keep myself intact

They say, Take it, take it easy A like it's gym class

Tell me how I could?

There's slaves in the world, before I die, tryna see us end that

So I move fast, Ramadan

Move fast, Autobahn

Who cares if I ever get a Grammy nom

If my soul take L's, phenomenon

Still can't believe I get paid for this

As a kid, all I did was pray for this

Now I'm livin' out my dream, craziest

Got me really feelin' like I was made for this

At the same time never knew how dangerous

It could be when lives start getting changed to this

When somebody say you they favorite

Guess it carry some weight to it

You know, cause uh

That's power and that's influence

The temptation is to use it for myself and serve somebody else

I'm sittin' here buggin' just rememberin' what them rappers showed me

How to bag a honey, stack the money

They said I was a mac by the number of shorties that I could smash

Now I'm waitin' on that matrimony

Cause I've been changed up

Lil' homie came up

It's depressin', kickin' it with dudes I used to look up to

They still on that same stuff, what!?

I ain't have no role models, now I gotta be one

I bought the lie hip-hop sold me, man I want a refund

I feel like it's the real me, feel me?

Yeah, I been changed, but I'm still me

What I am now, not what I will be

I'm tryna give life

But this could be the death of me

The death of me

This could be the death of me

(Just trying to give life, what I do for a living could kill me)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The death of me

This could be the death of me

(Just trying to give life, what I do for a living could kill me)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Look, mama feel like she losin' me

To this lifestyle that's consumin' me

I travel every weekend even when I'm weak man

You know what that to do to me?

Back pain, back pain

Sleepin' on planes, I'm feelin' like Bruce Wayne

Blackout at night on that stage

Man I need a batcave just to get away

Jesus retreated, woo!

To speak with his Father, I know that I need it

My career been growin'

But tell me where I'm goin' if my time with God is depleted

God I'm sorry, I mean it

All I want to do is walk with you, but

My priorities wrong, I talk about you more than I talk with you

One of my mentors taught me whenever things get foggy

If you wanna grow in God it's not complicated it's just costly

Gotta spend that time, currency

Overtime guess I learned to be

Strong enough to admit I'm weak

To meet with God all I need is me

2014 'bout to be different

I think my favorite word'll be no

Opportunities come and they go

But none of them is worth my soul

That's somethin' that you can't afford

And got me thinkin' what's most important

I get kicks, watchin' grown men in line for some Jordans

Nowadays time is fortune

But chasin' fortune is all consumin'

I feel like God's callin' dudes

They just wanna play Call of Duty

This that Peter Pan, at the dinner table out in Never Land

Eatin', can't nobody see it but me and my boys

That's the way I wanna keep it

I lost a couple friends to this new season

Jealousy and hate for a few reasons

Used to be down, now what's up?

Guess everybody around when the fun's up, yup

Got me feelin' isolated

Women wanna holla, I just tell em' that I'm taken

Even if I wasn't I'd be slow for the taking

I'll know if they love me or the money I'm making

Ain't no way to really tell

Where somebody heart truly at

Bad girls comin' at me looking good

Showin' off they body that's a booby trap

Beard low, but I never let my guard down

Buddy, I ain't crazy

You ain't bout' to catch me slippin'

Pull a Million Dollar Baby!

Me and Dre trying to eat good

Cuttin' out the nonsense

On the road trying to give life

But I might lose mine in the process

I ain't have no role models, now I gotta be one

I bought the lie hip-hop sold me, man I want a refund

I feel like it's the real me, feel me?

Yeah I been changed, but I'm still me

What I am now, not what I will be

I'm tryna give life

But this could be the death of me

The death of me

This could be the death of me, uh

(Just trying to give life, what I do for a living could kill me)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

The death of me

This could be the death of me

(Just trying to give life, what I do for a living could kill me)

Yeah, yeah, yeah
