lyrics
Verse 1 - Player 4
Words falling on deaf ears,
I'm smoking on this weed to help me deal with my fears. (ay)
When im alone, i be screaming so loud but nobody hears me.
Feel like i got nobody,
poppin all these pills
I can't feel my lower body.
But when you buy my fuckin' coffin,
better get that bitch in a bordeaux copy.
Fuck the xan crew, i be poppin other pills.
Making my stomach turn,
Making me ill.
Doing all these drugs takes the pain away,
because I'm the illest motherfucker in the Tampa Bay
Name these beats 'Know No Defeat'
Just a young motherfucker tryna eat.
Smoking backwoods all damn day, to be honest
I dont really know any other way.
Whip the cadillac down the boulevard,
bump that new Player 4, "damn that shit go hard!"
Because i been going hard since '98,
now people fuckin with me from out of state.
Now im out of state off those fuckin tabs, man,
don't forget about the tree, thats that gas, man,
no one fucks with yall cuz all yall got is trash, man
better step ya game up, you'll be in last, man.
Player 4 runs this shit
all your verses diarrhea, talkin' running shit.
I be putting in that work you already know that shit,
imma make it out of Tampa - don't doubt that bitch.
I be witty with these words talkin thesaurus,
at the same time in the kitchen, this all wrist
Just playing, having fun with this shit,
stealing flows from 21 like i was 22, bitch.
Verse 2 - Jah:
I'm covered in gold with no jewelry
At this point ain't a damn thing new to me
My circle is closed if you new to me
I can't name a damn thing good for soothing me
Ain't a thing that's moving me
Don't know what or who is me
Ain't a thing that's ruling me
Don't fuck with the coonery
If you try with fooling me
Then it's either you or me
Feel they all just using me
Tell me what are you to me
Ugh, wait, with my crew as we puff dank
Bump this shit on a rough day
I just need love for fucks sake
These just things that I must say
I ain't claiming no set just to get their respect
Nigga all these hoes pest always trying to impress
Was the one in the class who just slept and got f's
And the one who they slept on no one gave a f
Bring the full effect I ain't doing nothing less
Ain't nothing but net while they shit is such a mess
Can't just be the rest, so I never fucking rest
Follow my own steps
Hundred bands n hundred bands they on the way bruh
Ain't gon let another be the one who made us
If you ain't my brother, then I don't relate bruh
Ton of ones I love who all just gone away bruh
Now my uncle fighting with that fucking cancer
I just think it's sick I know they got the answer
Maybe they would help me if I filled them stands up
But who gon give a fuck I'm just a kid from Tampa
Look and suicide too two of mines
Going through these times is why I do these rhymes
Know each unique verse heard by the universe
It goes you me first until the fucking hearse
