And if it were up to me I'd go far away
This is what happens when they turn off the lights
And right then you realize they're not all friends
I bought that house for mom, I saw my folks happy
Because the street teaches you're wrong if you don't share
And if it were up to me I'd run from these places
From this dirty life, from these brick houses
But if I stay here it's to erase my memories
And prove that dreams can come true
My pockets are pregnant, kids in the hood wear my name
Everybody knows what I do, nobody cares how
The face of the building I lived in faces West
The mold was bigger than my TV
He vanished on my street while we were running away
You get it, I turned this sh*t into poetry
These days loyalty's become so fragile
Truth is absurd in a world full of chatter
I wrote a prayer that came true this year
I killed the scene, you can roll out the yellow tape
When things go bad I fill my soul with alcohol
This microphone's therapy because I talk to it
This is what happens when they turn off the lights
And right then you realize they're not all friends
I bought that house, mom, I saw my folks happy
Because the street teaches you're wrong if you don't share
And if it were up to me I'd run from these places
From this dirty life, from these brick houses
But if I stay here it's to erase my memories
And prove that dreams can come true
I'm with mine, I'm with mine, dawg
This villa used to be a room
I'm with mine, I'm with mine, dawg
This cash won't change us
If there's a God I just hope He's benign
Because I sold my friends, because I served the block
If there's a God I hope He forgives me for everything
Breaking somebody's heart can make an adult cry
I hope to beat the case, to beat my enemies
To blink my eyelids even when they're thin
And for these scars to become invisible
Hate is really tangible, the feelings I've got are hybrid
Thinking of you hurts me, that's why I dirty the drinks
It's a side effect, a side effect of the verb to live
The worst thing, bro, somebody can do
Is make another person numb
Not hurting me is impossible
This is what happens when they turn off the lights
And right then you realize they're not all friends
I bought that house, mom, I saw my folks happy
Because the street teaches you're wrong if you don't share
And if it were up to me I'd run from these places
From this dirty life, from these brick houses
But if I stay here it's to erase my memories
And prove that dreams can come true
I'm with mine, I'm with mine, dawg
This villa used to be a room
I'm with mine, I'm with mine, dawg
This cash won't change us
I'm with mine, I'm with mine, dawg
I'm with mine, I'm with mine, dawg
These demons split us
Everyone's got theirs and we trade them like diseases
And we reflect onto others what we are
Friends turn into enemies
Feelings turn into irreversible secrets
We're slaves to convenience while we try to fight it
I'm sorry to everyone I've hurt
