Kevin Gates - Sober State of Mind lyrics

Structure, pick up pieces to the puzzle
And I don't have a problem
Following the right instruction
Sober state of mind
Everybody 'round me druggin'
Had to go and grind
Everybody 'round me hustlin'
See I wanna shine
But they shit on me for nothin'
I was broke, but in front the hoes
Shit on me in public talk about me foul
It was sickening to my stomach
Make me wanna draw down, you know, jump out
Go to bustin'
It's gon' take a while, this big bitch
It hold a hundred
Nick Cannon with percussion, with two sticks
I go to drummin' a lot of niggas I know
Fucked the bitch that I was lovin'
Utterly rejected
Made me feel like I was nothin'
I'm the butt of the Joke
They had me feeling like a sucker
And when I come around
They look at each other and chuckle
Following my heart, I got my mind made up
It's nowhere else from here but
Run the money way up

I've been dying inside for a long time now
Crying out loud, but I'm all cried out
Striving to survive, I took the wrong way out
But they'll say I'm the greatest
When it all play out
Dying inside, tryna turn the game around
You don't know what I done been through
Please don't throw your weight around
All my life it been a struggle, I let
Everyone down, and felt like giving up
When I was all prayed out

Tryna leave the game alone
Get along with my life
I'm tryna marry something fresh here
No longer my height
I did some wrongs and some rights
I'm in the Rover all night
Up and focused on types
New three-fifty on ice
May peace be with the fallen soldiers
Pouring lean over ice
Pointing fingers all day
Different stereotypes
Took a brick and broke it down
Sell it straight to an importer
I'm tryna find out what
I'm getting, I'm respected, i'm important
I'm connected, giving orders
I can stretch it when I'm chargin'
I just pull up in a foreign, say a lot
I just was walkin' nigga, fuck you, you just
Talkin', we get stronger, moving sharper
Now I'm smarter, moving cautious
With the tint on the window say you love me
Hold it down and don't pretend on a nigga
I protected you for real
That mean I'm really your nigga
Blessed you with two-fifty
Bitch get back in the building
Get the strap, take twenty flat
You better not rat on a nigga

I've been dying inside for a long time now
Crying out loud, but I'm all cried out
Striving to survive, I took the wrong way out
But they'll say I'm the greatest
When it all play out
Dying inside, tryna turn the game around
You don't know what I done been through
Please don't throw your weight around
All my life it been a struggle, I let
Everyone down, and felt like giving up
When I was all prayed out
