If I Told You
[Pre-Hook]
Got something to tell you, I'll try to stay positive,
Oh I, oh I,
Know that they want me to get to the fall again,
Oh I, oh I,
Fuck all that, I'm just focused on rap,
Making magic is the passion,
As a matter of fact,
Grab a toast,
Listen close,
With both eyes peeled till you healed,
Oh I, oh I, oh I.

[Hook]
If I told you all the shit that I had locked up in my mind,
Would you wanna listen,
If I told you all the shit that I was gonna put you through,
Would you wanna listen,
If I told you music's all I'm really living for, just tell me,
Would you wanna listen,
No I can't help it, I can't shake it, I can't break it,
I'm just asking if you'd wanna listen.

[Verse 1]
Honestly, I have been crying,
The time I spent,
Way out my mind,
It's been crazy to think that I'm feeling like this,
I just wanna fly again,
Back home where I feel that I'll be fine again,
Rolling stone on the lost road,
It's dark but imma fly alone,
My city ain't need me so I said I'm leaving,
I left and I found out I didn't need Cincy,
But damn man, why it have to go like that,
Man, why they acting cold like that,
I've sounded like Weezy,
I've sounded like Drizzy,
They wanted the real me,
They words were deceiving,
Man, what they want from a real nigga,
To save these beats and just kill figures,
Bet if I get big, then they'll hop on board,
Like "I was here the whole time T,
I just got bored",
Oh my bad, I ain't notice you there,
Last time that I did, you had your nose in the air,
Like you was stuck half way through flipping your hair,
Or something,
Must be that you thought I would care or something,
Worst behavior from the best known,
Always talking shit that's less shown,
Golden voice with a blessed tone,
Hope my chances never get blown.

[Pre Hook]
Got something to tell you, I'll try to stay positive,
Oh I, oh I,
Know that they want me to get to the fall again,
Oh I, oh I,
Fuck all that, I'm just focused on rap,
Making magic is the passion,
As a matter of fact,
Grab a toast,
Listen close,
With both eyes peeled till you healed,
Oh I, oh I, oh I.

[Hook 2]
If I told you all the shit that I had locked up in my mind,
I know you wouldn't listen,
If I told you all the shit that I was gonna put you through,
I know you wouldn't listen,
If I told you music's all I'm really living for, just saying,
You wouldn't listen,
No I can't help it, I can't shake it, I can't break it,
I'm just saying, that you wouldn't listen.

[Verse 2]
Everything's changing so slowly,
The old me,
Been lonely,
He told me I wouldn't be shit,
But I guess I ain't know me,
Forreal,
I'm not so reliant on pills,
The pain, man it never got killed,
I'm not saying this for a deal,
Though it would help,
But still,
But still,
Where the fuck Do I lose I myself to no return,
When the bad gets worse and worse and worse and worse,
And worse, but first, rehearse this curse adversed since birth,
Immersed in verse and verse and verse and verse,
And verse, Till hearse or worse,
But what's worse is the feeling it'll never be reversed,
Disburse my dispersion,
Submerged in subversion,
No aspersions in my excursions,
It's certain I need a diversion,
It's worth it,
For certain.

[Outro]
Tell me what you gon' do,
If I told you that ahead of time.
