  • I don't understand why you blame me
    Take me as I am, it's the same me
    Yeah
    Senseless sight to see
    Yeah
    Senseless sight to see
    Ayy

    Feelin' young but they treat me like the OG
    And they want the tea on me, I swear these bitches nosy
    Said he put some money on my head, I guess we gon' see
    I won't put no money on his head, my niggas owe me
    I gotta be single for a while, you can't control me
    Uno, dos, tres, in a race, they can't hold me
    And I show my face in a case so you know it's me
    Imitation isn't flattery, it's just annoyin' me
    And I'm too about it
    And the dirt that they threw on my name
    Turned to soil and I grew up out it
    Time for y'all to figure out what y'all gon' do about it
    Big wheels keep rollin', rollin'

    I'm outside, twenty-nine, G5, seaside
    I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
    But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
    If I ever heard one and I'm still here
    Outside, frontline, Southside
    I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
    Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

    Look, don't invite me over if you throw another pity party
    Lookin' back, it's hard to tell you where I started
    I don't know who love me, but I know that it ain't everybody
    I can never love her, she a busy body
    Baby, if you want me, can't be turnin' up with everybody, nah
    Can't be fuckin' on just anybody, yeah
    I got feelings for you, that's the thing about it, yeah
    You know that it's somethin' when I sing about it, yeah
    Mama used to be on disability but gave me this ability
    And now she walkin' with her head high and her back straight
    I don't think you feelin' me, I'm out here
    Bein' everything they said I wouldn't be or couldn't be
    I don't know what happened to them guys that said they would be
    I still see you at the top and they misunderstood me
    I hold no resentment in my heart, that's that maturity
    And we don't keep on us anymore, it's with security

    I'm outside (yeah), twenty-nine (yeah), G5, seaside
    I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
    But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
    If I ever heard one and I'm still here
    Outside, frontline, Southside (Southside)
    I've been losin' friends and findin' peace
    Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

    I don't understand why you blame me
    Take me as I am, it's the same me (I'm trying)
    Senseless sight to see (outside)
    Senseless sight to see

    Rollin' Hidden Hills, it ain't no safety
    Ridin', engine revvin'
    Got a real loyalty, gotta get my release
    Spread your legs, downtown, said, I'm goin' out to eat
    You can hear them raw sounds when I rock, I make you sleep (oh, oh)
    I'ma roll on 'em 'fore I ever let 'em roll on me
    Split this one down the middle, wake up in a harmony (sick)
    Worry, sick, I'm sick of worryin' (sick, sick)
    It's just a worryin', I'd rather bury them
    I'm talkin' fake friends and skeletons (yeah)
    Early mornin' shoulder rubs, the lawyers, I done sell a bean (it's lit)
    I'm never settlin' in, this shit get darker than my melanin (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
    At the crib all by myself, this shit been cavin' in
    Scrollin' through my call log, by emojis, how I'm savin' 'em
    Del Mar, that's the beach where my ho was but I favorite them
    That butterfly emoji hold me down and all my babies them (yeah)
    Back with demon face, won't push away, he got the K on him
    I broke bread instead of watchin' niggas break down (break it)
    And saved a couple bitches too like I'm from Cape Town
    Know their position, you know ass up with the face down (let's go)
    I'm never content, two mil' a event, I get it frequent
    I'm make an expense, to me it's just sense
    I'm droppin' the top, no tint for the whip
    I'm droppin' the top, this bitch tryna spend
    She droppin' the top, she back again
    Fuck her 'cause she at the crib again, company (yeah, yeah)
    I let it slide when I really shoulda slid (ooh, ooh)
    After all the shit I did
    Look at how they repayin' me back (oh, oh-oh, oh)
    Now follow my lead
    Tell me what type of payment is that? (Oh, oh-oh), I put that on my kid
    And my trust, yeah, it is what it is (oh, oh)

    And I'm outside (ah-ah, ah-ah), twenty-nine, G5 (ah-ah, ah-ah), seaside
    I've been losin' friends and findin' peace (ah-ah, ah)
    But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
    If I ever heard one and I'm still here
    Outside, frontline, Southside (Southside)
    I've been losin' friends and findin' peace (oh, oh)
    Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

    I don't understand why you blame me
    Just take me as I am, it's the same me
    Senseless sight to see
    Senseless sight to see
    Up on a mountain (up on a mountain)
    Search through the valley (search through the valley)
    You hear me calling (you hear me calling)
    Won't you come find me? (Won't you come find me?)
    Please don't forsake me (please don't forsake me)
    All of a sudden (all of a sudden)
    My heart is breaking (breaking)
    I feel it coming, I, I Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
