Yeah

She ain't leave when I was broke

I used to sit at the trap all day and wait for a phone call

She ain't leave when I was broke

Juugin and finessin'

She ain't leave when I was broke

Yeah

I had to climb out the sewers

Know you looked down but I know where I'm goin'

Hold me down

Don't ruin my confidence, don't you do it

Sometimes I try to be there for you

And my plan, it don't go like I want it

Watch me roll this dope, watch me

Hit the trap and load this gun, watch me

She ain't leave when I was broke

She ain't leave when I was broke

(She ain't leave when I was broke)

One thing that she didn't do

She ain't leave when I was broke

(She ain't leave)

I don't ever tell her what I go through

But how she act, I know she won't

I can see you was givin' up

And that's what killed me the most

Came out the sewer, it's stankin'

Go in the booth and I'm blankin'

Slept with my tool on the blanket

Like I'm the son of Michael

All of these haters, they're gettin' spiteful

They see my heart has been damaged

You see the whip Panoramic

You see I made it, you witnessed progression

I was talkin' like I knew I was destined

I'm a boss and I won't ever regret it

Whether you like it, you gotta admit it

Then I change up your location

Then I pull up in that Wraith

Have I fulfilled all your dreams?

I gave you checks

So you're checkin' it off on your wish list

You get Ferraris right now

We doin' Cali right now

I had to do it

I had to climb out the sewers

Know you looked down but I know where I'm goin'

Hold me down

Don't ruin my confidence, don't you do it

Sometimes I try to be there for you

And my plan, it don't go like I want it

Watch me roll this dope, watch me

Hit the trap and load this gun, watch me

She ain't leave when I was broke

She ain't leave when I was broke

(She ain't leave when I was broke)

One thing that she didn't do

She ain't leave when I was broke

(She ain't leave)

I don't ever tell her what I go through

But how she act, I know she won't

I can see you was givin' up

And that's what killed me the most

We goin' shoppin' right now

I see they're coppin' right now

I see they're watchin' right now

They didn't know I was just plottin' right now

I've been executin' the play for a while

Witnessed trappin', baby walk down the aisle

I got a few rings on me now

Had to change my team and my style

You can't intervene on my craft

You better turn your back right now

Ain't no turnin' back right now

I can't let you cramp my style

If you ain't blink then you lookin' like an owl

Starin' right back 'cause you lookin' like cow

You gettin' no sniff, sleepin' with the flowers

She understand everything I go through

Gutta nigga always

I had to climb out the sewers

Know you looked down but I know where I'm goin'

Hold me down

Don't ruin my confidence, don't you do it

Sometimes I try to be there for you

And my plan, it don't go like I want it

Watch me roll this dope, watch me

Hit the trap and load this gun, watch me

She ain't leave when I was broke

She ain't leave when I was broke

(She ain't leave when I was broke)

One thing that she didn't do

She ain't leave when I was broke

(She ain't leave)

I don't ever tell her what I go through

But how she act, I know she won't

I can see you was givin' up

And that's what killed me the most

One thing that she didn't do

She ain't leave when I was broke

She ain't leave when I was broke

She ain't leave when I was broke

One thing that she didn't do

She ain't leave when I was broke
