When To Say When Lyrics

Let me talk I got some weight on my chest

They say I'm the best, people keep on sayin' I'm next

I'm feelin' it less, lately been consumed by the stress

Not able to rest, feel the pain deep under my flesh

I'm yearnin' success, ain't watchin' me they turnin' they necks

Don't do it to flex, without music my soul would be a mess

I'm takin' the steps, been drainin' me I'm losin' my breath

Ain't seein' progress, been patient now I wanna break necks ahhh

Ever wonder when to say when

Ever watch that ceiling fall and let it cave in

A lot of weight up on my shoulders never gave in

Wouldn't believe all the weight I slanged out the Days Inn

Trap jumpin' like Double Dutch, plug called me double up

Called my custies fiends while poppin' beans and sippin' double cups

Oh the irony, had the iron on the side of me

Preach peace and positivity but ready to die violently

Stabbed up in that robbery but glad cause' they ain't grab nothin'

Almost died over my pride like that shit meant somethin'

Thought I was being' real when really I was being' dumb

To impress people who at my funeral won't even come

Good to have your pride in tact but die over a couple racks

Momma crying' on that casket, tears will never bring you back

But we don't think of that step on the gas and live fast

Street mentality, we trappin' cause we fuckin' trapped

That clock keep on ticking' even when you in that cell

Time move like a snail when you held without bail

Weight heavy like a whale, walk past your cell with no mail

Eatin' cold meals, is this how hell feels

Damn, in the end it's never worth it

Under your surface you got a bigger purpose

Gotta break the cycle I realize why you nervous

We fear the unknown but what we know is what hurts us

Ever wonder when to say when

Ever watch that ceiling fall and let it cave in, damn

Ever wonder when to say when

A lot of weight up on my shoulders never gave in, damn

Uh, when to say when

Man what the fuck

Ay, when to say when

I come from a place where they don't wanna see you win

Crabs in a barrel shit welcome to Maryland

Home of the Terrapins, oh and the heroin

You either sellin' dope or usin' it like something's in the air here

Crack heads yellin' WOO, alley sound like Ric Flair

Sometimes I miss the game I use to be a big player

When they was down bad I'm the one who did the favors

Love I put into this world I never saw it later

I put losers in positions to win

Received bruises from some dude who I considered my kin

A lot of women like Medusa they a snake in the end

They don't love me like the use to in the Beamer or Benz

How you tell me that you love me and you proud of me

Same breath you turn around and talk down on me

I see through them fake smiles when they frown on me

Shoulda knew I was the one bitch put a crown on me, yeah

Ever wonder when to say when

Ever watch that ceiling fall and let it cave in, damn

Ever wonder when to say when

A lot of weight up on my shoulders never gave in, damn

Uh, when to say when

Man what the fuck

Ay, when to say when
