[Pre-Chorus]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy-ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
[Chorus]
Use the music as therapy to exorcise how I feel
Tell me, is it fake love or is it real?
She tell me every time I talk, I give her chills
Bought my dad a 911, three hundred thousand on his body
[Verse]
Gotta watch out for these snitches, gotta watch out for these b*tches
Gotta whisper to you ni**as 'cause all the hatin' ni**as might just hear me
Especially if you came from the trenches, you can't fall in love with no b*tches
Gotta stay on your ten toes and keep your senses, ooh
I know sometimes she wanna trip, I know sometimes I had to dip
I ain't got no pride, I pour up a fifth all of the times I pull up in VIP
Walk in a room and I know they watchin' me
She wanna fu*k just 'cause they got my songs on repeat, ayy
Took some time off and now they think they got me beat
But the whole damn time, you ni**as been heatin' up my seats
The tour life got me in light so I can see
ni**a, I ain't never choose this sh*t, it came to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy-ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
[Chorus]
Use the music as therapy to exorcise how I feel
Tell me, is it fake love or is it real?
She tell me every time I talk, I give her chills
Bought my dad a 911, three hundred thousand on his body
[Post-Chorus]
Let you ni**as know it's my city, I had to go crash the party
Took a Puerto Rican freak out Delilah, she call me papi
I can't pick none of your hoes 'cause they talk too much
That's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
[Outro]
I was walkin' through Compton one night at like— ahem
Like two a.m. in the morning
I just left my girl house, I found out she was on some bullsh*t
You know what I'm sayin', and
I walked past the 91, I was walkin' all the way down Central
Past the graveyard and sh*t
I had made a l— a right on Alondra, um
Walked up by the side of the airport
And I passed the hood, you know what I'm sayin', and
And I went all the way to The Cedars
I had pulled up on my DJ at the time and
He was just tellin' me keep my head up and sh*t like that
sh*t was crazy, you know?
I felt like I wanted to die, I felt like I ain't even wanna be here no more 'cause
I just— I ain't have sh*t at the time, you know what I'm sayin'?
And music was all I really had, so
You know just from goin' to jail and
fu*king around in the streets, I knew it wasn't sh*t
So I had to just, keep my head up, keep goin', get focused
Grind that sh*t out, you know what I'm sayin'?
