Angels

Hmm

Yeah

So I keep hearin' the angels call out my name like

Just know the past is just the past, nigga my best days ahead of me

And that's what the **** I'm walkin' toward

Amen

Ayy, look

Know I ain't perfect but my lil' sister think I'm the shit, nigga (Ha)

So I ain't changin', what you see what you get, nigga

Waitin' for me to give up and stop yeah right you wish, nigga

Mother****ers need to get off my ****, nigga

I was missin' the big picture

Switch my old frame of mind, now I'm open

Shawty I can't afford not to focus, don't wanna go back to the days I was hopeless

I was broke but I still wasn't broken

Still remember what Tushe told me, nigga

Don't let no hard time ever make you softspoken

Thought if ain't nobody got me, he got me

They hit him with a charge and it shocked me

I ain't talkin' Sylvester Stalone

But I felt all alone when this shit had got Rocky

Niggas thought I would drown, guess they ain't know I'm too mother****in' cocky to stop me

Plus I'm good in that water like Lochte

Used to think I can't do it, then watch me

All my life it was rainin', pourin'

Now I'm rockin' the stages, tourin'

Got so used to the pain, it was foreign to smile, now I'm up in the game, I'm scorin'

Never wanted the fame or fortune

Trials and tribulations made it necessity

Tryna not let this life get the best of me

I just feel like God constantly testin' me

Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like

(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)

Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you felt some pain

Don't know the sun gon' shine 'less you seen some rain

Maybe I'm goin' insane

Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like

(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)

Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you seen some pain

Don't know the sun gon' shine 'less you seen some rain

**** how far we got to go, nigga look how far we done came

Ayy, I got that me versus me tatted as a reminder that this life ain't forever

So every day I'm breathin' I'ma be better

Than before, I ain't never been scared to walk with whoever

Except for that man in the mirror, 'cause I know he know me like the pot know the kettle

Too busy pioneerin' shit for me to settle down

Gotta play the game to beat the game, I'm at a new level now, niggas hatin'

Been underrated so God damn long, I don't care how y'all rate me

Talk to God on the daily, give a **** what y'all niggas sayin'

Hear me loud and clearly

Keep that bullshit off from near me

Bruh, cos 'fore I let you **** up my life, you gon' have to kill me

My life do a 360 five times on a ****in' yearly

Just so people near me, can numb they pain, you gotta feel me

Hol' up

Long as my momma good, I'm good as can be

That lil' bread ain't no dope boy, look like Cuba Gooding to me

Nah I ain't made enough yet to get my boys out the hood

But once I do y'all niggas ain't gon' be able to say nothin' to me

Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like

(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)

Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you felt some pain

Don't know the sun don' shine 'less you seen some rain

Maybe I'm goin' insane

Swear I keep hearin' them angels callin' my name like

(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)

Yeah, can't know what joy feels like 'less you seen some pain

Don't the sun gon' shine 'less you seen some rain

**** how far we got to go, nigga look how far we done came

Angel on my right shoulder the devil sit on my left one

As I walk a mile to change this life, those in my direction

Who needs a mirror to see a reflection, I see myself

Even when the world is dark, and I can't see anything else

I done felt it all

Every emotion, every sensation

(Ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)

Been a prisoner in my mind, in a cell of my own creation

I wanna escape it

But then again I don't, because this

Made me everything I am, I just pray I never forget
