When To Say When

Let me talk I got some weight on my chest They say I'm the best, people keep on sayin' I'm next I'm feelin' it less, lately been consumed by the stress Not able to rest, feel the pain deep under my flesh I'm yearnin' success, ain't watchin' me they turnin' they necks Don't do it to flex, without music my soul would be a mess I'm takin' the steps, been drainin' me I'm losin' my breath Ain't seein' progress, been patient now I wanna break necks ahhh Ever wonder when to say when Ever watch that ceiling fall and let it cave in A lot of weight up on my shoulders never gave in Wouldn't believe all the weight I slanged out the Days Inn Trap jumpin' like Double Dutch, plug called me double up Called my custies fiends while poppin' beans and sippin' double cups Oh the irony, had the iron on the side of me Preach peace and positivity but ready to die violently Stabbed up in that robbery but glad cause' they ain't grab nothin' Almost died over my pride like that shit meant somethin' Thought I was being' real when really I was being' dumb To impress people who at my funeral won't even come Good to have your pride in tact but die over a couple racks Momma crying' on that casket, tears will never bring you back But we don't think of that step on the gas and live fast Street mentality, we trappin' cause we fuckin' trapped That clock keep on ticking' even when you in that cell Time move like a snail when you held without bail Weight heavy like a whale, walk past your cell with no mail Eatin' cold meals, is this how hell feels Damn, in the end it's never worth it Under your surface you got a bigger purpose Gotta break the cycle I realize why you nervous We fear the unknown but what we know is what hurts us Ever wonder when to say when Ever watch that ceiling fall and let it cave in, damn Ever wonder when to say when A lot of weight up on my shoulders never gave in, damn Uh, when to say when Man what the fuck Ay, when to say when I come from a place where they don't wanna see you win Crabs in a barrel shit welcome to Maryland Home of the Terrapins, oh and the heroin You either sellin' dope or usin' it like something's in the air here Crack heads yellin' WOO, alley sound like Ric Flair Sometimes I miss the game I use to be a big player When they was down bad I'm the one who did the favors Love I put into this world I never saw it later I put losers in positions to win Received bruises from some dude who I considered my kin A lot of women like Medusa they a snake in the end They don't love me like the use to in the Beamer or Benz How you tell me that you love me and you proud of me Same breath you turn around and talk down on me I see through them fake smiles when they frown on me Shoulda knew I was the one bitch put a crown on me, yeah Ever wonder when to say when Ever watch that ceiling fall and let it cave in, damn Ever wonder when to say when A lot of weight up on my shoulders never gave in, damn Uh, when to say when Man what the fuck Ay, when to say when
