Scary times
Please, hold me close in these scary times
Don't say you love me and then change your mind
I need someone who understands
I'm just a man, just a man
Chopper by the bed, glizzy by the door
How you think I'm supposed to live when only thing I see is war?
Yesterday, was on the 'Gram, I seen a baby on the floor
They said they hit him with a bomb, and that kid ain't with his mom
And I'm used to seein' death 'cause I'm from Philly where niggas die
Where the blacks kill the blacks and I can't even tell you why
I know niggas stuck in beef and they can't even tell you how
If you strapped, you go to jail, but if you ain't, you gon' die
(Scary times)
And yeah, I cried on the news when I had change that law
And niggas still talkin' 'bout me, shit got changed for y'all (Please, hold me close in these scary times)
I been famous since eighteen, I ain't really changed at all
(Don't say you love me and then change your mind)
Niggas gettin' in your head, that shit might change your dawg
I change my drawers, then put on my Glock when I wake up
(I need someone who understands)
Crazy part, that shit just made my block really break up
I'm the motivation I made, niggas get their cake up
(I'm just a man, just a man)
Court niggas with their face down, and I made 'em put their face up
I been tryin' since Christina have had them Jacobs
Now it's Richard Millie when she see me fix her makeup
Flyin' twelve hours, I be in Ghana when I wake up
Ain't no real niggas believe that lyin' shit they made up (Scary times)
I stand on everything I said, well, I'ma stay up (Please, hold me close in these scary times)
Tryna take my homie out the country 'cause he cased up
My other brother, life inside a cell, they got him caged up (Don't say you love me and then change your mind)
Eighteen years and ain't seen him since, they tryna break us
I'm ridin' through the trenches, two hundred shots, they tryna take us
I gotta make a [?] to lil poppy, he got an A plus
I'm so poppin', they done propaganda, you better wake up (I'm just a man, just a man)
I'm just a—
How you gon' tell me you love me and change your mind
I'm readin' everything, wrote a book about all your lies
I'm peepin' everything, so who crooked that's in the squad
My homie lyin' to me, why he lookin' me in my eyes, and shit (Change your mind)
It kinda hurt me, but really wasn't surprised (I need someone who understands)
When the blind lead the blind, it can really **** your mind
And the time need the time, you forty without a dime (I'm just a man, just a man)
And the only thing you own is a .40 and a little .9
So if he kill son, that's the only way he gon' shine
I got a Richie, he gets a sixty years, we both doin' real time
Only difference is, I made it rappin', puttin' in real time
I still be talkin' pain, shit, my people still dyin', still cryin'
It was crab in the [?], still climb
Niggas tried to put me down, when I got out, still throw a line
Doin' too much for these people, gettin' tough, ain't gon' lie
Like a [?] out the city, flyin' private real time (Scary times)
I had niggas at the clearport that never been to the airport (Please, hold me close in these scary times)
Actin' like they got an attitude, **** is you here for?
Go back to the hood and bite my back, what you there for?
(Don't say you love me and then change your mind)
Broke boys hatin' on the king, why would you care for? I'm here for
Everybody that was with me when I had a bad storm (I need someone who understands)
Everybody actin' like they with me, hold this glass on
5 A.M. in Phily, ridin' 'round, I got my mask on (I'm just a man, just a man)
This time's y'all pass on
Hatin' on your brother like, that's a bad joint
I ain't seen my son in nights, that's a bad joint
My homie in another life, that's a bad joint
5 A.M. in Phily, ridin' 'round, I got my mask on
Scary times
Please, hold me closely in these scary times
Don't tell me you love me and then try to change your mind
I need someone who understands
I'm just a man, I'm just a man
