I've been tryna keep my head on straight
They tried to tell who I am before I showed you who I am
If I open up my hands, another blessing out the wind, let me in
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold me down
Hold me down, hold me down, hold me down, hold—
You can't relate to the process, look up, I got this
Options, reached into the pot, left it spotless
God sent a son when I was stressing 'bout my pockets
Good luck tryna make a living talkin' 'bout—
Can't keep my mind silent
Managed to escape, still dealing wit' the trauma
I've been tryna keep my head on straight
Every time I hear that record play
I've been tryna keep my head on straight
Every time I hear that record play
Baptized in blood, flesh of my flesh
Born with grace, so I stick out my chest
Razor blade under the tongue since I was a young
Thug life tatted across my belly of the beast, tempted to explode
Used be a fan of Nelly, now we all old news
TV got me seeing views I can't explain
**** it, another candy man in the rain
Rain man, same plan, change hands, Jordan '91
See what you see, but no matter what you get
Very calm like a bomb, no vision with a threat, uh
Live life to the fullest, and reminder, just remember
I've been tryna keep my head on straight
Every time I hear that record play
I've been tryna keep my head on straight
Every time I hear that record play
