Stay Safe - Lou The Human

Fiends at the door

They all want more, yeah, yeah

And I got the cure

Na nana nana, yeah, yeah

And all of the things I’ve seen

And all of my friends turned fiends

It’s all that I know (Yeah)

It’s all that I know, yeah

I tried everything I could

There’s still this pain inside my heart that I don’t ever show

Where I’m from we just roll it up, lately I been showing up

Wasted to industry events, mobbin' but I’m still alone

I think the road’s the only place that I feel at home

Been ducking calls, gettin' tired of trusting y’all

Lost a couple homies but honestly fuck 'em all

'Cause if I wasn’t doing this shit you’d probably never call

And the phone’d stop ringing if I ever do drop the ball, yeah

I’m lion-hearted, the lighter they got the fire started

Remember meetings, they told me I’d never find a market

Like I was marketing somethin'

Like I do this shit to find endorsements or a sponsor or somethin'

Like I wasn’t turnin' down deals when they was offering money

Like I wasn’t treatin' cars like my fuckin' apartment or somethin'

I went to war for this moment, this shit is movin' now

Damn, my life a movie now

My plane ain’t even take off yet

They tryna shoot me down, yeah

Fiends at the door

They all want more, yeah, yeah

And I got the cure

Na nana nana, yeah, yeah

And all of the things I’ve seen

And all of my friends turned fiends

It’s all that I know

It’s all that I know, yeah

Couple thousand feet up

Our promise was so distant now

I go missing now

Another time again

You say, «Stay safe», but I can’t make promises

You say, «Stay safe», but I can’t make promises (Yeah)

No-oh-oh-oh-oh

Fuck your lil' shots, dawg, you can save that

Bullets couldn’t phase Rack

I be tryna' quit but they tell me I might save rap, yeah

But will rap save me?

Can money change me?

Phase me?

When it’s all bright will the lights fade me?

Yeah

Broken heart, genius-minded, the new breed of Shaolin

Think shit was simpler when the mission was just leave the island

When my friends had new drugs and I would geek and try 'em

Paranoid that West Brighton’ll be the streets I die in

They all tell me that it’s love but now it feel different

I’m not a meal ticket, I’m hungry, bitch I’m still itchin'

And my last girl had my heart but she just let it bleed

What’s worse is if I don’t hit you first, I bet we’d never speak, yeah

I used to sell weed to inhale and eat, yeah

Ducking cops, ducking opps, ducking felonies, yeah

Ducking calls from muhfuckas tryna sell me dreams, yeah

Sell me Percs, Xans, Addys, coke, sell me lean, yeah

Now I’m addicted to the high I hope it never leaves, yeah

Rolling memories, smoke 'em and forget a piece, yeah

Half the island trappin' shit just to get us things

The other half be ODin' off the heroin

And I’m in the middle of the this, tryna' get poppin' off rap

Where they be poppin' pistols and shit

Always getting kicked out, ain’t really know where I was livin' and shit

But fuck that, man, I was meant for this shit

'Til my death, I’m gon' rep in this bitch

In paradise alone stoned is what I have been on

I been the future, I’m just hopin' my timin' is on

Making decisions with my heart 'cause my mind has been gone

Shit, sometimes I think my heart has a mind of it’s own, yeah

Having a hard time finding a home

But everywhere I go I been finding a clone, yeah

Think I’m in love but the timing is wrong

Found some bands, lost my mind, I don’t mind it at all

Been home sick but it’s sick 'cause I don’t know where home is

If home is where the heart is, I’m heartless so I guess I’m homeless

Still I’m focused as ever, I can’t let 'em distract me

My mind’s a loaded Beretta, I’m reloading forever

A lot of shit be fuckin' with me I keep it inside

Like how people switch up when you thought you was always down

We grew up by the same street signs from where they be geekin to die

Shots could just creep in your ride, homie, so keep this in mind

That I ain’t in this for a check or the fame or the wealth

This like the only thing that stop me from hangin' myself

And I don’t even need a crew, I just hang with myself

They ain’t want me to eat but I turn tables myself

This is my life, bitch, ever single statement is real

They told me this shit just a dream, now I’m makin' it real

And I can’t front I been contemplating taking a pill

'Cause Painkiller Paradise is what made me this ill
