No Hope

I've been there when you needed me the most
Had yo' back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family
And I say damn, where would you be without me? Without me

I'm fuckin' tired of playin' God when you in need
The choices you made are on you completely, what's it got to do with me?
You mobbin' through the streets, clueless, but it's not like you could see
You know I'm cool, so you take it like it's an opportunity

To get some free money, damn you ain't got no shame
You been livin' off of my dough, bitch, I'm not yo' bank
You be askin' to borrow knowin' that you not gon' pay
Abusin' the privilege my nigga, that is not okay

Why don't you get it? I shouldn't have to explain it
Our foundation should be on some real shit, not you askin' for payments
So create a dream, then get off yo' ass and then chase it
I'm mad and frustrated dealin' with this shit, I'm lackin' the patience

You the homie, I don't mind you comin' around, dawg
But I should not have to pay for yo' downfall
Choose yo' faith, but still even if yo' day seem great
Just know I got yo' fuckin' back either way, you already know

I've been there when you needed me the most
Had yo' back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family
And I say damn, where would you be without me? Without me

Now my own family trippin', I ain't think I would get this shit from siblings
The money I'm makin' is yours, right? It's a given
Let me tell y'all why I get a different feelin'
Y'all was livin' good watchin' me and my mama struggle once we get the bills in

I don't recall any help or sympathies
Since 15 I been payin' rent, you know what that did to me?
Coulda been here, had this rap shit poppin' off, if y'all had lent the hand
But y'all wasn't worried 'bout helpin' us, you had a different plan

Focused on yourself, and now you holdin' on for help
You were self-centered, and that was just an open door to hell
Oh, you need some money now, yeah, of course I know the deal
You want the benefits without playin' the courses on the field

You ain't even doin' yo' best or tryin'
Don't ask me for shit unless you dyin', this is me testifyin'
Just know that when yo' bright days goin' straight
I couldn't have yo' back without feelin' strange, but you already know

I've been there when you needed me the most
Had yo' back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family
And I say damn, where would you be without me? Without me

Money can leave you isolated 'cause people are shady
So why debate it? They love cash and fantasize to make it
To get it, we'll fight and break shit, develop unrighteous ways
Even takin' the side with Satan, thankfully I've awaken

Foes who abused the privilege by havin' those who were gifted
Around them close and they vision, stop corrodin' yo' friendships
Don't be havin' yo' hands out, smilin', hopin' to get shit
Moochin' off of a man's treasure is bogus and it's just

Not the way you should function with brothers when you're amongst 'em
That is what we call punk shit, and it can leave you stuck in
A boat that's already sunken, this can happen to anyone
Sisters, brothers and cousins, they disrespectin', then fuck 'em

That's the way that the fountain leaks, keep on pushin' yo' boundaries
In due time, I am bound to see all the snakes that surrounded me
I know that if my brightest days turn gray
You wouldn't have my back unless there was pay, it ain't no secret

I've been there when you needed me the most
Had yo' back when you were broke
I've shown you love when there's no hope
You were my friend, like blood
Like brothers, like family
And I say damn, where would you be without me? Without me
