King Von - Don’t Want to be Me lyrics

Know to let that MAC fly
Just like my nigga Doe (What?)
Von, Von you don't know what the fuck
I been through nigga the fuck I done lost
Huh? What?

You don't wanna be me (Nah)
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me
(Nah, huh?) you don't wanna be me (Nah)
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me (Uh, huh)
It was hard in the streets (It was hard)
Growin' up, it's either him or it's me
(Huh? What?)
It be hard in the streets (It was hard)
Growin' up, it's either him or it's me
(Damn, damn, damn)
You don't wanna be me (Uh, uh)
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me
(Nah, what?) you don't wanna be me (Uh, uh)
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me (Hm, hm)
It was hard in the streets (It be hard)


Growin' up, it's either him or it's me
(Huh? What?)
It be hard in the streets (It was hard)
Growin' up, it's either him or it's me
(Damn, damn, damn)

It was hard just to make it (What?)
Real shit, I ain't saying no fake shit
(Uh, uh)
Grew up 78th, grandma basement (What?)
Then we moved to Parkway, it was gated
(Damn, damn)
I'm like, "Damn, where we stayin'?"
(What? Huh?)
First night, gunshots, they ain't playin'
Had to sleep on the floor
We was on the first floor (Boom, boom, boom)
"Boy, stay away from that window"
(Boom, boom, boom)
See, this where it started (yeah, yeah)
Three floors, eight floors, them apartments
(yeah)
Section 8, baby mommas and toddlers (Huh?)
Killers, rapers and robbers (Damn)
See, I adapt to that shit, though
I had to fight everyday, I was still new
(I was new) they ain't know me
We ain't go to the same school
(Same school)
Prolly mad 'cause I always had on new shoes
(Damn, damn)
See, that's what that crack do (yeah)
Stepdad sellin' drugs in the trap too
(yeah, huh?)
Used to have his own place in the house too
Grandma used to say he was bad news, huh?
(Damn, damn) fuck that, I'm in high school
(I'm in high school)
Hyde Park, food fights in the lunch room
(In them lunch room)
Got jumped on the bus one time too
(What? What?)
Same day, Joey came up to the school too
(Damn, damn)
Then shots got to ringin' (Boom, boom)
Caught Joey in the act, Gucci leaked him
(Boom, boom)
He got hit in the side but he breathin'
(Damn)
Police right there, he was tweakin' (Damn)
But this how it started (yeah)
You don't wanna be me, I'm retarded
Locked up, sixteen for a robbery (What?)
Momma, come see me, I'm sorry, please (yeah)
You don't wanna be me
All the shit I done done in the streets
(Huh?) all the shit I done lost
I done turned myself a boss
Can't believe I lost LilBossTee, damn

You don't wanna be me
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me, nah
You don't wanna be me
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me
It was hard in the streets (It was hard)
Growin' up, it's either him or it's me
It be hard in the streets (It be hard)
Growin' up, it's either him or it's me

Now life got different (Got different)
I done did my time, I'm chillin'
(I'm chillin')
2012 if you wanna be 'pecific (What?)
I lost O' and Patoon, that killed me (Damn)
See, that's change in the plans now
All that shit I said in
Jail ain't the plan now
Gotta get my hands dirty, pull that mask out
Get caught by King Von, boy, you assed out
(Boom, boom)
See, I'm tweakin' again (Huh? What?)
Lost Sheroid, I can't see him again
(Huh?damn) now I'm back out skiin' again
(There he go, "Come here")
I mean slidin'
Ain't no motherfuckin' hiding out
Nines, 40s, extensions (Uh, huh)
Keep it movin' if you not the victim
(Uh, huh)
Mind your business, we don't need no witness
(Uh, huh)
Heard you got you a son, better kiss 'em
(Huh) 'Cause shit'll get crazy (yeah)
He get caught and he say that you made 'em
(Damn)
Bullet holes in his mouth, straight face 'em
(Boom, boom)
All the thoughts in his head, just erase 'em
(Boom, boom) now back to the basics (Uh)
Back booked, eight months, that's crazy
(That's crazy)
45, Glock on me, no safety (No safety)
Police hopped out, then chased me (Damn)
I got caught, I was tweakin' (Damn)
Back in jail with a celly, he stinkin'

"Fuck them hoes" they freakin'
God put you back in here for a reason

You don't wanna be me (Nah)
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me, nah
You don't wanna be me

Run up, hit his chest and his head
(And his head)
Roll 'em up, now we smoking the dead, damn

Ambulance couldn't make it, he cushy, damn
Now I'm back on my dummy

(It ain't funny)
I'm not hungry, you keep your bologna
(You can keep it)
Let me out 'cause they ain't got shit on me
(Huh?) now me and Varney slide (Slide)
Got a bitch in the car, she just drivin'
(She just drivin')
We hopped out, we was blastin' and wildin'
(We be wildin')
Guns so loud we ain't hearin' the sirens
(Boom, boom) but 12'nem was comin' (What?)
We ain't talkin', no time for discussion
Took the case, man, that bitch was one hunnid
Until she fucked on the opp, now she nothin'
Damn

Damn, damn, damn they don't wanna be me
All the shit that I did in these streets
Nigga, I probably can't get no peace
Can't even go to sleep
Catch a nigga put his ass to sleep
Huh? Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me
Lil' nigga, you don't wanna be me
