[1st. verse]

Every move I make they got something to say

tell me to grow up then they tell me to stay in my

place

can't even go out with a girl, they sayin' we date

and everyday another camera up in my face

but hey where were they when mama was workin them

triple shifts

just to put some kibbles and bitz in the puppys dish

cause she love me, man, she did it with no money

but we made enough with,baby that's what love

wasn't no afroman we wasn't laughin' then

just me and my mama packed up in a astro van

i caught the music bug and then i has to plan

said i'mma give my fam a few acers of land

i work hard, but all y'all can say about the dog in

your blogs

is i care about my cars and my girls and my money

it seems funny like y'all only gave me love

just so y'all can take it from me

[Chorus: Lil' Eddie]

If you only knew the half sometimes i just wanna throw

up my hands

is it gonna take for me to rest in peace to let me be

then would you love me if you only knew the half

if you only knew the half nobody could judge me for

who i am

is it gonna take for me to rest in peace to let me be

then would you love me if you only knew the half

[2nd. Verse]

they say that i've done that and i did this

then he spit on Chris, i'm with this chick

but then i cheat on her then my beats don't work

why he can headline why he can go first

he a brat, look at how he act

he ain't all of that he don't even write his raps

i keep it comin' doin' numbers for the ones who really

want it

i never fronted cause thats what love

through all the back lash, bad quotes rap magz

bad ass attitude, Bow back with his black ass

lil' jack ass scrap all of that trash i rap cause i

love it

and just happen to stack cash it's a blessin'

but y'all make it so stressin' just to be in this

profession

it's like in every direction i'm turnin' they burnin'

my name

what do i gotta do? i thought i already gave you the

price of fame

[Chorus: Lil' Eddie]

If you only knew the half sometimes i just wanna throw

up my hands

is it gonna take for me to rest in peace to let me be

then would you love me if you only knew the half

if you only knew the half nobody could judge me for

who i am

is it gonna take for me to rest in peace to let me be

then would you love me if you only knew the half

[3rd. Verse]

i only wanted a chance to live my dreams

i never thought i would go through all these things

sometimes i think it would be different if i didn't

have the money

would y'all just allow me to be 21 and make mistakes

and flaws and all but no

since i'm a dog i'mma always be on my paws and Qz

and stand accused through all yall views but still i

push through cause that's what love

look, see my carrer it's like i've been here 7 times

longer

that's just goin' off dog years, yeah, i could break

it down

took you through all the years but did you skip what i

hear

all cause i concierge in the hotel lobby

and those who tells lies about me and lobbyistis

who go against everything Bow Weezy is

i'm just a Columbus kid who tried to make it

i never thought it would take all this... shit

[Chorus: Lil' Eddie]

If you only knew the half sometimes i just wanna throw

up my hands

is it gonna take for me to rest in peace to let me be

then would you love me if you only knew the half

if you only knew the half nobody could judge me for

who i am

is it gonna take for me to rest in peace to let me be

then would you love me if you only knew the half
