[Intro: A-Reece]
“So say goodnight to the bad guy”
Turn it up in the headphones
Yeah, this shit gon’ be the death of me, huh
This shit gon’ be the death of me
Couldn’t see the Lord was blessin’ me
This shit gon’ be the-, yeah
[Verse 1: A-Reece]
Givin’ more than what I get, that shit gon’ be the death of me
Loyalty, respect, I swear this shit gon’ be the death of me
Well it better me
Lately though I got a trust deficiency
It’s like some of my friends mirror my еnemies
When I would show you lovе, the more it had you thinkin’ less of me
This big heart inside my chest, that shit gon’ be the death of me
Shawty said “If you don’t rest, that shit gon’ be the death of me”
Told her “If you got me then I got it, leave the rest to me”
Made sure we all ate
I would always say grace but niggas had their eyes opened, starrin’ at my plate, yeah
Contact number changed, moved to a bigger place
Every night, their is somethin’ to celebrate
The better version of myself, that’s what I hope I get to be
I gave this music shit my all, I give you what is left of me, yeah
Swear this shit gon’ be the death of me
Only when I’m gon’, they’ll understand just what it meant to me
[Verse 2: Quentin Miller]
Ayy
I used to try to hide from my problems
Out here livin’ a lie, no Rihanna
In this life without a guide, had no one to follow
Sacrificed all my ‘todays’, focused on tomorrow
I was just tryna find a way to come up off the bottle
Tryna make a transformation like my name was Optimus
Look how far this rap could take you
Look at how far it’s gotten us
But I ain’t tryna settle for this ’cause it’s not enough
‘Cause I ain’t come in one deep, it’s a lot of us
So I can’t say I’m up ’til me and my partners up
Nowadays it takes a lil’ bit of skill, a lot of luck
Less ’bout what you poppin’, more ’bout where you poppin’ up
It ain’t too many options for us, no it’s not enough
But life remembers those who made a way, no matter what
So I’ma go and make a way, no matter what
They used to laugh ’till they seen us rackin’ up
I ain’t goin’ back for nun’
