No fair, it ain't fair how The murder rate Fermanate Ferguson out to Fairground sh** made me wanna Sell my soul through the music Put the streams on water Ancestors on my head My uncle my barber Blood s**as want my bread So I ordered the garlic Hustled too hard, these blessings ain't yours So when I Pull up and park it, my front seat a toilet sh** of Course I'm a target, they hope I get martyred Lose ya Corpse in a corporation Ten years of cooperation Been wanting to throw bows at Becky Been wanting to throw jabs at Jason Gotdamn need a long vacation Bong rip and a bad b**h Thick fine with them dimples on it Love how it shake when it's that thick Lil' seminar on the simmer down Feel a lil' more ambitious now Never doubt what you dream about Never fear what you feelin' now [Chorus: Via Rosa] Even when you knew my truths Even when you knew my mistakes Said you loved me anyway Said you loved me anyway Oh Lord, gimme a sign Show me a way I been alone I been afraid And you were s'posed to be there for me in the Long run What have you done?
