Lyrics
("I know you at the studio right now, I just ain't seen you in a minute and I miss you
Expressing longing and missing someone who is at the studio currently.
Stay safe and remember the streets don't love you. I love you and I'm prayin' for you")
Advising caution in a dangerous environment, expressing love, and praying for safety.
(Yeah)
An exclamation or affirmation in agreement with the preceding statements.
Lately, I been fightin' demons baby I need you to pray for me
Struggling with personal struggles, asking for prayers for support.
I been caught up in these streets where it ain't safe for me
Feeling trapped and endangered in a risky environment.
I know right now I'm gone just promise you gon' wait for me
Despite being away, asking for a promise to wait.
I need some forgiveness but it might be too late
Seeking forgiveness but acknowledging potential difficulties in obtaining it.
Always hurt the ones I love so you might wanna stay away from me
Awareness of causing pain, advising to keep distance due to potential harm.
Stuck up in the trenches I'm just tryna' find a way for me
Feeling stuck in a difficult situation, seeking a way out.
I know you wanna leave but I need you to stay for me
Requesting someone to stay despite the desire to leave.
Or just pray for me
Asking for prayers considering threats to life.
'Cause these niggas tryna' take my life away from me
Expressing the danger of others trying to end the speaker's life.
But I'll be damned if I go
Determined not to succumb to the threat.
Gotta watch my back cause the reaper want my soul
Being cautious due to the constant threat of death.
Death around the corner so I'm creepin' with this pole
Ready to defend oneself due to the dangerous environment.
When you come from the slums that's the only shit you know
Life experiences rooted in difficult circumstances.
She think I'm cheating when I'm gone but I ain't lovin' on no hoe
Addressing a partner's suspicions while emphasizing loyalty.
I been running up the bag and chasing M's with my bro, that's my dawg
Prioritizing financial success and loyalty with a close friend.
Yeah, he was by my side when I was low
Recognition of support during tough times.
And now we ballin' he done watched me go from rookie to a pro
Highlighting personal growth and success with a friend.
She say I'm heartless but I got a heart, there just ain't no love in it
Acknowledging having a heart but lacking love in it.
And please don't pass me that cup if there ain't no mud in it
Declining a drink without the substance desired in it.
Too much pain in my body ain't enough drugs in it
Feeling immense pain but insufficient relief from drugs.
(Yeah, too much pain in my body ain't enough)
Reiterating the overwhelming pain with inadequate remedy.
Sorry if I'm distant I been thuggin' by my lonely
Apologizing for emotional distance due to a solitary lifestyle.
Niggas tryna' off me so I gotta keep it on me
Feeling threatened and needing to protect oneself constantly.
Keep yo head on a swivel even when you with yo homie
Advising vigilance even among friends for safety.
Words from a wise man I won't forget the shit he told me
Recalling and valuing advice received from a wise person.
And lately I been fightin' demons baby I need you to pray for me
Reiterating the need for prayers due to internal struggles.
I been caught up in the streets where it ain't safe for me
Reiterating feeling unsafe in the streets.
I know right now I'm gone just promise you gon' wait for me
Asking for patience despite being away.
I need some forgiveness but it might be too late
Desiring forgiveness but acknowledging difficulties.
Always hurt the ones I love so you might wanna stay away from me
Recognizing the tendency to hurt loved ones, advising caution.
Stuck up in the trenches I'm just tryna' find a way for me
Feeling trapped and seeking a way out of difficult circumstances.
I know you wanna leave but I need you to stay for me
Asking for someone to stay despite their inclination to leave.
Or just pray for me
Reiterating the request for prayers due to threats to life.
'Cause these niggas tryna' take my life away from me
Expressing the danger of others trying to end the speaker's life.
