Elite - Ville Mentality lyrics

[Hook] How long can I survive with this mentality? How long can I survive with this mentality? Things fall down, but don't stop now Oh, can't stop now Oh, won't stop now [Verse] Trials and tribulations I'm facing In this age of information, I hate this sh** Cause n***as hit my phone when they want some sh** b**hes hit my phone when they want some dick Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear You call it runnin', I call it escapin' Start a new life in a foreign location Similar to my n***as duckin' cases Can't take the possible time that he faces [Hook] How long can I survive with this mentality? How long can I survive with this mentality? Things fall down, but don't stop now Oh, can't stop now Oh, won't stop now [Interlude] My dad, he died—he got shot 'cause his friend set him up. And I didn't go to his funeral—and sometimes when I'm in my room, I get mad at my momma when she mean to me. And she— And she say, "clean up"—I say— [Bridge] n***a play me, never, give up my chain, never Give up my pride, never, show 'em my pain, never Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never n***a play me, never, give up my chain, never Give up my pride, never, show 'em my pain, never Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never [Hook] How long can I survive with this mentality? How long can I survive with this mentality? Things fall down, but don't stop now Oh, can't stop now Oh, won't stop now [Outro] I get mad and I slam my door and go in my room— And then, I get mad and I say, "I wish my dad was here"
