Truth is If you don't see me around no more I've been linking with CEOs Told you my time is rest assured Until I seen me some cheques and Os Step on foes when the service close These the things that I juxtapose Please don't ask what tomorrow holds Came to see the bad bitches vogue Whoa, like Dave say I walk in, tell the jeweller, "wow me" That stone better not look cloudy Everything set or the man get rowdy Man, I don't know what makes them doubt me Trust me, I still keep my flow gnarly I'm from Ghana, from the eastside It's chaley, and not Charlie And it's always the ones with no motion Or devotion tryna poke and clown me But I told 'em before and I'll say it again They better not cross that boundary Man, I used to look up to OGs But the OGs hate man low key So I do my time plus OT Don't ask me where I been this whole week I cut all the acting like a film director who hates the whole scene I cut all the false pretence when they post up like they really know me I told you when I dropped "Roadman" that they all be cappin' OD Sold me out but made no killing Hi there, dummy, how're you feeling? They stay sinning and grinning, don't get caught out slipping These days I'm so willing, to do things I'm not spilling They want my light dimming, it's just the beginning Y'all better get comfy cuz it's gonna be a long ride soon when I start top billing Shawty want a top boy with no limits We left in about four minutes If you don't see me around no more I've been sliding with freaky hoes Told you my time is rest assured Until I seen me some cheques and Os Step on foes when the service close These the things that I juxtapose Please don't ask what tomorrow holds Came to see the bad bitches vogue Whoa, like Dave say I walk in, tell the jeweller, "wow me" That stone better not look cloudy Everything set or the man get rowdy Man, I don't know what makes them doubt me Trust me, I still keep my flow gnarly I'm from Ghana, from the eastside It's chaley, and not Charlie Truth is, I've been on a high note Call it ego, what do I know But one question for those in the back Why you love me when I start to spiral Why you love me more when I'm not so sure Of myself and I need validation Need meditation, fiend medication Why you love me when I'm speeding and chasing Only see love when I'm feeling small I see more love when I'm feeling poor Only see love when my mental's gone I see more love when I'm not so strong You leave when I climb back up You leave when the line's backed up Cuz I get more love outta town than I do back home You hate this zone You hate that I smile through the casting stones Maybe you never been loved when it's up Only got loved when it's stuck Ran through the muck, loved in the mud Hated on too when ran you a buck I've been tryna let go Call it new growth, what do I know Pray to God I don't hit your hood And everything is all good, so If you don't see me around no more I've been sitting my ass at home Told you my time is rest assured Until I seen me some cheques and Os Step on foes when the service close These the things that I juxtapose Please don't ask what tomorrow holds Came to see the bad bitches vogue Whoa, like Dave say I walk in, tell the jeweller, "wow me" That stone better not look cloudy Everything set or the man get rowdy Man, I don't know what makes them doubt me Trust me, I still keep my flow gnarly I'm from Ghana, from the eastside It's chaley, and not Charlie
