Telling Tales

Heard they tellin, they tellin' them tales, yeah
Heard they tellin, they tellin' them tales, yeah
Why they tellin', they tellin' them tales? Yeah
Why certain ones don't wish me well? (Wish me well)

I know this game comes with valleys and peaks, I keep to myself
Count my blessings, many ain't done what I done, and lived to tell
Got my business up, almost got generational wealth
And the difference, what separates me and everyone else?
And the difference is, won't live no lie (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And the difference is won't block my shine (yeah, yeah, yeah, what?)
All my guys, we traumatized (traumatized)
Stand ten toes, on all my pride (yeah, pride)
Live in hell in the South, all in my cell, hear my mama cry
I gotta clean my heart, clean up my mind, thinkin' 'bout-
Ooh (shh)
I can't say that (what?)
'Cause at my trial, they gonna try to play it back (fuck)
Not into wishin' superstition, always had a plan
We grew the same, but different ways
Woadie play the pots and pans
Quit playin' like the victim, tried to play me for some other man
It's me and twin, we down to sin, I think about the aftermath

Heard they tellin', they tellin' them tales, yeah
Heard they tellin', they tellin' them tales, yeah
Why they tellin', they tellin' them tales? Yeah (why, why?)
Why certain ones don't wish me well? (Wish me well, yeah)

Tellin', tellin', tellin', tellin', tellin', tellin', for what? (For what?)
I got the racks in the Cullinan, to come pick me up
Soon as I touch, callin' my bitch, wanna fuck
Got a 30mg doin' things to me, I'm booted up
Mmm, I'm booted up
I might do a drill in the Arcy Alpha, suit right up (up, up)
Lookin' for some hope, all alone, no one to pick me up (where?)
Why certain ones they check for me, gotta check who I can trust (who can I trust?)
They try to stop the motion, freedom's a must
Took flights across the ocean, they showin' love (yeah)
I brought the Wock' to poland, I'm pourin' up
Had some fans run up, and my dawgy almost done 'em up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
