If You Want Lyrics

They sayin imma have to go through the pain

I've experienced the struggle and I've walked through the rain

Having to do it alone will drive a nigga insane

I fall to my knees every night kause I've been praying for a change

They say if you want love you, you gotta give some away

I've given all I can but people don't reciprocate

So how the fuck am I supposed to feel

When all I get is fake but everything I give is real

You bitches got me fucked up

I've been all alone so long I don't know who to trust

Lil mama say she love me but I be thinkin it's lust

I've been afraid to let my guard down, so I keep it up

At this rate, I'mma miss out on all my blessings

I thought bout running away, cause I'm exhausted from the stressing

Everything that we experience in life is a lesson

Yet I was contemplating suicide wit that Smith n Wesson

I can't believe I was ready to throw it all away

I ain't the world strongest man, it gets hard to bear the weight

I've starred most of my life so I'm the first to clean my plate

I came from food stamps and crack addiction, most can't relate

They don't see my struggle cause I make this look easy

They don't understand how many mf need me

But what about my needs

It's hard to find a care in a world full of greed

I heard that all I need is faith, the size of a mustard seed

And mountains would be moved for me

I've been on this journey for a minute yet to reach my destination

Had to go through some things, called trials and tribulations

That seemed like forever because I've never had the patience

I was taught that if you want it go get it no time for waiting

I experienced oppression as an adolescent

And replaced it wit Brotherly Love Over Our Depression

Even in a lesson all of the stressin create aggression

So I'm using my verbal weapon to apply pressure

It bursts pipes, but also creates diamonds

Depending on your perspective, but y'all can see that I'm shining

I had to get it out of the mud, nobody gave me a chance

Now I stand on top of the mountain as the motherfuckin man

I had a plan but everything just kept falling apart

I'm not where I wanna be but a long way from my start

See a lot of different people go to struggle, but it's not what happens to a person in there life that determined a legacy

But how he or she responds in the face of adversity

Long with my niece, Toni

Long live, my relative KO

Gone
