[Intro]
Hope you gon' ride
If I take a little of your time
And talk to you for a second
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't be a fool, you can crash here, boy
[Verse 1]
I know it's hard, lil' n***a, but just keep goin', lil' n***a
Get a game, everything, put your all in, n***a
From the start, lil' n***a, keep faith in God, lil' n***a
You gon' take some L's, but learn from your losses, n***a
Stay real with yourself and trust no one
Same n***as that you love'll kill you, make a GoFund
Do everything out of love, never let 'em owe nothin'
12 get to askin' questions, tell 'em you don't know nothin'
To be a boss is gon' cost you, n***a
Just remember when you sittin' behind that wall, lil' n***a
You by yourself, ain't nobody take them charges with you
But don't forget the ones that picked up when you called them, n***a
Derez De'Shon
[Chorus]
Hope you don't mind if I take a little of your time to talk to you for a second, yeah
Woke up this mornin', Sun shinin', cover my eyes, stomach rumblin', ain't no breakfast
No Dr. Seuss, ain't no green eggs and ham here, boy
It's like a zoo, I ain't lyin' if you last here, boy
You livin' proof, lost so many of mine last year, boy
Don't be no fool, you can crash here, boy
[Verse 2]
Talk to myself before I wreck (Before I wreck)
Can't believe I'm here, I had to check (I had to check)
And my heart still beatin' in my chest (In my chest)
'Cause before this year, I was screamin' in distress
Like help me, I ain't holdin' my breath, but it felt like I can't breathe (Can't breathe)
Second-guessin' myself and my success like that ain't me (Like that ain't me)
"Hardaway" done went platinum, "Fed Up" goin', it can't be (Still can't believe)
Real, that's what them n***as said, but they ain't me, yeah
Them n***as ain't believe, yeah
Talkin' to God, on my knees, yeah
Thankin' the Lord for savin' me, yeah
Like thank you, thank you, Father
[Chorus]
Hope you don't mind if I take a little of your time to talk to you for a second, yeah
Woke up this mornin', Sun shinin', cover my eyes, stomach rumblin', ain't no breakfast
No Dr. Seuss, ain't no green eggs and ham here, boy
It's like a zoo, I ain't lyin' if you last here, boy
You livin' proof, lost so many of mine last year, boy
Don't be no fool, you can crash here, boy
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Things ain't as hard
If I didn't take care of my son and my daughters
If I didn't say hold on to the funds 'til tomorrow
If I didn't say I ain't worried 'bout no comma
'Bout a light bill, or the water
Or the rent been due, I gotta want it
Oh, Derez De'Shon, oh
[Outro]
Hope you don't mind
If I take a little of your time and talk to you for a second
Don't be no fool, you can crash here, boy
