Blood in the Water

They never promise you that you’ll never fall
I can see theres blood in the water
And i ain’t keeping track but you never call
Save me a plate, cause boah I’m starvin
Runnin up… standards
Ain’t no way the boy ain’t plan it
Ain’t no way the boy ain’t plan it.
I can see its done damage
Elendil wit da kingship
Aragorn wit da swordplay
Frodo Baggins wit da ring tho
Otis Redding wit da soul, aye
I’m from indiana, came up saying «straight thang»
But i took it to another level that you never been on so get outta my face,
mayne
46th and college to the rest of the world and on and on
A young bull from behind the fairgrounds destined to be a phenomenon
He’s on a run, so quiet when his song is on
If i ever land a deal, the first thing ima do is call my mom
My heart beats for this, why they tryna play me raw?
I promise y’all I’m raw, please tell me what you take me for
But how do i see myself? i ask this question too
Sometimes you forget who you are when too many people question you
Off and on you wish that you could go back to when no one was messing with you
But never regretting or taking for granted the plenty of lessons that you…
Learned. along the way, you took the path.
That no one traveled but got lost along the way in fact.
I made a mess, i made a name, i may have made some cash
But that would never take me back and those shoes won’t help me run from my past
They never promise you that you’ll never fall
I can see theres blood in the water
And i ain’t keeping track but you never call
Save me a plate, cause boah I’m starvin
Runnin up… standards
Ain’t no way the boy ain’t plan it
Ain’t no way the boy ain’t plan it.
I can see its done damage
Elendil wit da kingship
Aragorn wit da swordplay
Frodo Baggins wit da ring tho
Otis Redding wit da soul, aye
In 7th grade, i was bumping Luchi and hitting the jiggalate
At 21, I’m hungry as ever and constantly lookin for bigger plates
I went away. and ever since i been feeling a weighed on mind
After i left the neighborhood couple years after the day that Lil Bango died
But local celebrities keep rising and falling like like on a new day
I was never the social anecdote, or party animal, or sipping on dusse
I haven’t been active enough. i been depressed and i been acting up
Remember acting tough when i was just a little boy in middle school my homies
talking bout gats and stuff
Those were the good ol' days in my mind, i guess time flies
When youre writing rhymes and fighting time but it feels like somewhere down
the line.
Everything was lost for me. i went a different way
And the only thing i got out of it all is that I’m gettin paid
Cause home base is lately feeling like its no place for me to stay.
thats why i got up and walked away
I love my city, i guess i just never got it back
So here i go, into the fray
And maybe one day ill be back
They never promise you that you’ll never fall
I can see theres blood in the water
And i ain’t keeping track but you never call
Save me a plate, cause boah I’m starvin
Runnin up… standards
Ain’t no way the boy ain’t plan it
Ain’t no way the boy ain’t plan it.
I can see its done damage
Elendil wit da kingship
Aragorn wit da swordplay
