A little bit of pain lately

I been feeling it all

But I don't want you to see me cry

Am I too young to die

Well you tell me lil baby cause lately I don't know

And I'm outside right now cause I'm gon let it show
Being open and expressive about one's current state and emotions.
I'm outside right now cause I'm gon let it blow

-I'm outside right now with all these problems baby
Admitting to ongoing problems while being present and engaged.
But I'm still poured up tonight I brought these bottles baby
Indulging in coping mechanisms, like alcohol, to deal with problems.
And that's on my familia

Cuz I won't let these niggas play with my dignity
