This time around I'll never get bit

  This time around you're making me sick

  'Cause you really can't control me

  Listen, I've got problems of my own
  Flashin' cameras, taps on my phone
  Even in my home I ain't safe as I should be
  Things always missin'
  Maybe it could be my friends
  They ain't friends if they robbin' me
  Stoppin' me from makin' a profit, see
  Apology shallow like the ocean
  I guess I'll resort to gun totin'
  If I was dead broke and smokin'
  I'd probably be by my lonesome
  I'm a killer nigga I ain't jokin'
  Endo smoke got me choked and I'm hopin'
  The fool comes slippin'
  So I could blow'em open
  This time around
  I changed up my flow
  Got rid of the rocks
  Got Pitts by the door
  I've raised other peoples to watch my back
  Stay away from strangers
  So I won't slack
  And I know my nigga Mike like that
  Baby
