Next time your thinking heist better be precise
I know in the back of your mind your conjuring ways to hen me
You only know what you see
Though I can't see past the girls greed to call her wife
Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God
(I see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold)
Y'all dont even know every day I'm livin' with stress
You only know what you see
Anything y'all pour to the ground next time throw it up
(And now that I've arrived)
Hate a nigga, like that fagot, get your own
We'll lose two lives, yours and mines
I see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold)
(I see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold)
Leave my friends in a circle pouring out Henny
He never even met that he don't even know and shit?
Spiritually through the portal now my words as a mortal
Hear the hate in my voice, right? I hate that you noticed
Swear to everything when I leave this earth
I'm trapped the whole worlds against me in fact
Dont grieve for me my art remains
Lucky me
Niggas wanna strip to the bone for shit you own
You know the shit don't stop 'til the Crist don't pop
For Jesus is Heaven bound so how I'm gon' receive
Hate that I can't roam the street without the clip and chrome
And I ain't trying to be hard but I'm guilty as charged
(Since I was 4 years old, I been told, everything that glitters ain't gold)
(And now that I've arrived
You only know what you see
(I been told, since I was 4 years old, everything that glitters ain't gold)
And ain't nothing changed so even in my afterlife, I show it up
Steady looking for flaws through us
You don't understand what it takes to be me
You only know what you see
I have no regrets even though I wanna see grow
You don't understand what it takes to be me
You don't understand what it takes to be me
Got up out the streets you think a nigga could rest
Can I live without y'all niggas saying I floss too much?
Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless
You get a lawsuit for shit like that, I feel trapped
Told the judge didn't budge it was him or me
Hate the price of fame 'cause it cost too much
It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
It ain't no turning back, bring it on
How can a motherfucker go round and hate a nigga
My godsons Boogie, Sonny and Rimo
Knowing one day Im'a have to flip, c'mon
I think this rap shit is all beef
At the funeral parlor drippin' tears on my sleeve
'Cause I'm fully prepared, one of us is gon' leave here
You only know what you see
I hate all girls with ulterior motives
Plan to leave without a fight I plant a seed I give life
Nigga see you in the street, pretend to be friendly
like a dart from the speaker to your heart
(And now that I've arrived)
You don't understand what it takes to be me
You could try me fucker but when I squeeze it hurts, fine
Lucky me
But I know any type of success breeds envy
(You know?)
Gimme any amount of time don't let Ms. Carter grieve
You don't understand what it takes to be me
Hate putting my life in the hands of fake promoters
Hate the way you make this hate flow all through us
I'm on the dance floor, hot ass vest
You think I'm freakin' these chicks, right?
That's why I'm twenty plus years old, no sons no daughters
You only know what you see
And pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars
You only know what you see
You only know what you see
I'll try not to brush against they chest
You don't understand what it takes to be me
And you have to kill a nigga and your wrist don't lock
(Since I was 4 years old, I been told, everything that glitters ain't gold)
You don't understand what it takes to be me
