Sky Priority

Mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
And when it come out, we're goin' coppin' together
Go and get you some help
(FJ on the beat, ho)


Oh, it hurt me to my heart the way our love ended
I blame you, you the reason I don't trust bitches
My heart so cold, I done been crossed, I don't trust niggas
He say my name, he get knocked off just like that one nigga
Yeah, yeah (Mook got the keys jumpin')
Okay, and that's how it be (Yeah)
I ain't been gettin' no sleep, I been runnin' the streets
I ain't been home in two weeks, I been lookin' for peace
In California on the beach, I'm low key in a Jeep
Yeah, I'm just tryna' catch a better vibe (Okay)
'Cause I get lost in my thoughts and I cry
Keep my mouth closed, it be too much on my mind
Don't nobody care, I won't dare waste my time (FJ on the beat, ho)
Too much pain in my body, I need surgery
Won't put cocaine in his body, he take Perkys
I had a dream 'bout Kareem and it hurt me
Sometimes I sit and think about Ray like, "Was it worth it?"
I heard he had plans on leavin' his brains on the ceilin' (Yeah)
He had a talk with his pops and it healed him
He said, "You'll go out like a coward if you end it
You came too far, you can't look back, you got to finish"
Yeah


On the road doin' shows all alone
In another nigga's city livin' wrong
Pray to God I can make it back home
Even if I don't, it won't be long (FJ on the beat, ho)
Yeah, I'll fly high with my God
Soul been broke in half, I got too many scars
Put my trust in 'em and they broke my heart
Death's gotta be easy 'cause life is harder, yeah, yeah


Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay
(You know, that's why I'll say it, you know)
(But, you know, nigga ain't on no re-up, I'ma just thug it)
Death's gotta be easy 'cause life is hard -
Death's gotta be easy 'cause life is harder, yeah, yeah


On the road doin' shows all alone, uh
In another nigga's city livin' wrong
Pray to God I can make it back home
Even if I don't, it won't be long (FJ on the beat, ho)
Yeah, I'll fly high with my God
Soul been broke in half, I got too many scars
Put my trust in 'em and they broke my heart
Death's gotta be easy 'cause life is harder, yeah, yeah
I'll fly high with my God (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Soul been broke in half I got too many scars (Okay)
Put my trust in em' and they broke my heart
(Death's gotta be easy 'cause life is hard -)
Death's gotta be easy 'cause life is harder, uh, yeah

Dark Conversations

Fire that shit up, TnT
Um, Reuel, stop playing
He havin', mmm-mmm
He havin'


He havin' conversations in the dark, yeah, yeah
It's just me, myself, and my heart, uh
My heart said, "Under any circumstance or for any reason
Lay down your guard again and I'ma stop beatin'
Please, friend, I cannot take it no more"


Four in the mornin', while they sleepin', I'm wide awake
Thinkin' about the problems I faced, make my heart race
I done put my trust in so many, they all traded lanes
I don't know where I should start but it's time for a change
During the day, I'm Rod Wave, but I feel like Cobain
Do I wanna deal with the pain that tomorrow brings?
Might grab a gun, blow out his brain, he been feelin' strange
But then he think 'bout Reginae and think about Charmaine
So many smiles, so many hugs, but I still feel alone
Cut down the lights, cut off his phone, and get in his zone
Lost in his thoughts, he's in a vault, but his mind, it roams
And he'll give his heart to anyone who will call it home
And he's been like that for so long, since a small child
He'd be okay until he sober, then his thoughts pile
They be on social sites ridin', clownin' a nigga
Then he remember he's up two, three hundred thousand on niggas (Krrah)


He havin' conversations in the dark, yeah, yeah
It's just me, myself, and my heart
My heart said, "Under any circumstance or for any reason
Lay down your guard again and I'ma stop beatin'
Please, friend, I cannot take it no more"

Close Enough To Hurt

In this life I've been scarred
So I walk around here with my guard up
And they quick to say Lil Nunny trippin'
I think about my past and get in my feelings
I think about the people who deserve me
I think about the ones who didn't deserve me (okay)
Think about the ones who did me dirty (okay)
I won't let you close enough to hurt me

And I been staying to myself, I been moving lowkey
'Cause I don't know you and nigga you don't know me
I don't need no new homeboys, nigga I'm straight
You can keep yo handshakes, these niggas snakes
I'll play it safe
Sometimes I wish baker understand (okay)
That I am not yo average man (okay)
Ain't insecure, I'm just hurting, trying to find out is you worth it
Opening up make me worry and new faces make me nervous
Like where these niggas was when we was slidin' in my Acura
Now they wanna pop up because them Rs in the back of us
And we be state to state, promoters always got them racks for us
New niggas come 'round and I disappear like Perry the Platypus

In this life I've been scarred,
So I walk around here with my guard up
And they quick to say Lil Nunny trippin'
I think about my past and get in my feelings
I think about the people who deserve me
I think about the ones who didn't deserve me (okay)
Think about the ones who did me dirty (okay)
I won't let you close enough to hurt me (okay)

Green Light

Mmm
Ayo, Nashi, you go crazy
Yeah, yeah


Okay, green light, uh, pistol in the party don't seem right
Lil' bro off that molly, can't think right
It's about to be a f*ckin' green light
I get in my feelings off that Hen, dawg
I'm gon' be this way until the end, dawg
I got too much on my mind and I cannot get it off
Gon' be a homicide before Nuni take the loss


The good die young (Green light), they be the first ones to leave
Ace told me keep my strap but now he restin' in peace
If I ever catch the nigga who killed him out on the street
I'ma tie him to my truck and drive that nigga to the beach, brr
Ayy, tell a nigga, "Rest in peace", uh, tryna blind a nigga
F*ck it, jump in the bucket, let's go find these niggas
All I need is a half a ounce of weed, my brand new AR-15
I'm gon' make a nigga bleed


Ayy, tell him leave it in the street
We gon' put it in they life, turn this block with that Glock
He jumped the gate and left his bike
Niggas get knocked out they socks when they get hit with that pipe
Woadie jumped out with that chop, then introduced them to that green light


Okay, green light, uh, pistol in the party don't seem right
Lil' bro off that molly, can't think right
It's about to be a f*ckin' green light
I get in my feelings off that Hen, dawg
I'm gon' be this way until the end, dawg
I got too much on my mind and I cannot get it off
Gon' be a homicide before Nuni take the loss
Green light

She had to tell the world we had a
You know what I'm sayin', with the, uh
(Tyler Javeon)
Mmh

You know what I'm sayin', you a fan, bitch
Ayy, of all these, man, I'm dolo, thug life
Uh, yeah, uh

[Chorus]
And I don't want no more love, I feel it's poison
Late at night I can't sleep 'cause I hear voices
Tellin' me I'm too deep, quit tryna force it (Uh, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Got too much stuck on my chest, can't get it off of me
I put my demons to rest but they been stalking me
Lord knows I tried my best, I gave it all of me (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

[Verse]
Late at night, I been roaming, I ain't getting no sleep (Woah)
It's hard to stay focused when that pain running deep
Been alone my whole life, but you helped me forget
Then you made me remember my heart cold as December
Learning to love myself, I been alone every weekend
They say he's out of breath 'cause he's been runnin' from demons
You left, I needed help, you were someone that I believed in
People change like the seasons, I'm asking what's the reason?
Then I been thuggin' dolo, lay in my bed and cut off my phone
I smoke that dope alone, me and others don't get along
You can peep the pain in my face but I hide it deep in these songs
I learned to keep my mouth closed 'cause don't nobody know what's wrong
Got me addicted to love, and then you left 'round the same time
Sorry I can't make time, been living on space time
I heard through the grapevine she told you we FaceTimed
That shit got a block, tell that bitch to kick rocks, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
And I don't want no more love, I feel it's poison
Late at night I can't sleep 'cause I hear voices
Tellin' me I'm too deep, quit tryna force it (Uh, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Got too much stuck on my chest, can't get it off of me
I put my demons to rest but they been stalking me
Lord knows I tried my best, I gave it all of me (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
And I don't want no more love, I feel it's poison
Late at night I can't sleep 'cause I hear voices
Tellin' me I'm too deep, quit tryna force it (Uh, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Got too much stuck on my chest, can't get it off of me
I put my demons to rest but they been stalking me
Lord knows I tried my best, I gave it all of me (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

[Outro]
Yeah, dawg, woah

Cuban Links

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, that's probably Tago
Pipe that shit up, TnT
Tre made this beat

Let's talk 'bout hard times, real bottom boy survivor
Way before the jewelry, the groupie hoes, and designer
Back when I was tryna find a way for all my partners
Rema hit the window, popped the door for me and Lijah
'Member wakin' up with no destination
But I had some dedication, couldn't use my education
'Cause no nine dollars could help me face what I was facing
My light bill due, envelope blue, that mean you behind on payments
Rap slowed down and I was low on cash
Fresh out of high school, kicked out the house for living fast
Went and got a spot, then got a job, 'cause pops was on my ass
Then that's when pops had went to jail so it didn't last
Hit the block with Brock 'cause I was tryna pay my bills
Like f*ck a rap career, let's touch these streets and make a mil'
Fast forward, like Rod Wave, tell me how you feel
When I think about my past, that shit give me chills, uh

Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Because He finally made a way
I been runnin' up that paper, mama
And before I let 'em come and take it, mama
I'ma die in these Cuban links
I'm gon' die in these Cuban links (bangers again)
Die in these Cuban links (right now today, let's go)
Die in these Cuban links (yes, Lord)

All my life it been a struggle
You on and fall off, you find out who really love you
Playin' in the storm drain, came out the gutter
Good relationships, I admit I had a couple
Making love to the money, me and bae lil' couple
Yola cooked down to the oil in it, don't switch around
I need everything when it lock in the pot, yeah
Grab it off the top, let it dry, work the clock, yeah
Finally up in rank, movin' blocks, holdin' sham, yeah
Havin' my lil' way, ghetto pussy used to act funny
Now I'm hittin' her hard from the back, she throw it back for me
And when I went to jail, shawty left, turned her back on me
Flexin' on they ass, pants sag with them racks on 'em

Wake up in the morning, hit my knees, and I pray
Because He finally made a way
I been runnin' up that paper, mama
And before I let 'em come and take it, mama
I'ma die in these Cuban links
I'm gon' die in these Cuban links
Die in these Cuban links
Die in these Cuban links

Soldier Life

Ace Lex on the beat
Thug life, bitch ass

[Chorus]
Didn't ask to be alive, but I'm livin'
Will I die in the streets? Maybe I'll go to prison, yeah
Everybody got a time, I feel it coming
Met death at sixteen, since then I ain't stopped running, I promise
This the life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah
Life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah
Didn't ask to be alive, but I'm livin'
Will I die in the streets? Maybe I'll go to prison, yeah
Everybody got they time, I feel it coming
Met death at sixteen, since then I ain't stopped running, I promise
This the life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah
Life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah

[Verse]
It's hard to maintain this soldier life mentality
It would be a tragedy, them white folks come and hassle me
Throw me down and wrestle me just to put on handcuffs
Try me with resisting when they told me throw my hands up
For tryna get my bands up to feed the fam
They want me nine to five working as a pizza man
Instead I'm nine to five serving, going gram for gram
'Cause 'fore you know it, the bills gonna be due again
They look at us as hooligans but they don't understand the hand that I was dealt
All the dreams that I watched melt, all the pain that I done felt
All the storms that I survived and all the rain that I done felt
Look me in my eyes, you'll see I got no choice but to grind

[Chorus]
Didn't ask to be alive, but I'm livin'
Will I die in the streets? Maybe I'll go to prison, yeah
Everybody got a time, I feel it coming
Met death at sixteen, since then I ain't stopped running, I promise
This the life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah
Life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah
Didn't ask to be alive, but I'm livin'
Will I die in the streets? Maybe I'll go to prison, yeah
Everybody got they time, I feel it coming
Met death at sixteen, since then I ain't stopped running, I promise
This the life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah
Life of a soldier
Life of a soldier, yeah, rrah

[Outro]
Ace Lex on the beat
Yeah, yeah

Counted Steps

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, that's probably Tago
Tahj Money
Pipe that shit up, TnT
I remember, shit, bitch, I felt so stuck, bro
You feel me?
Niggas still get to the shit, you know, life comes with up and downs
You know what I'm sayin', but
From where I was at, you know, I hit my... (Even when your back against the)
Now I see


Even when your back against the wall
Phone keep ringing, but no one you can call
Just know it's gon' get rough, it's gon' be tough
Just when you had enough, you can't give up
You gotta tell yourself
Forget about the pain you felt
Every move is a counted step
I know you got a little more left

Sometimes I sit and wonder will it change?
It be hard not to go under tryna maintain
Then I be feeling like they fold, don't work both ways
'Cause they can call but I can't call no one for a thing
Remember when they told me we was gon' see better days
A week later Danger died, and now I'm full of pain
Remember when they told me that we finally made it through the rain
A month later, phone ring, and now Bang out in the grave
Bitch, it's crazy, it be tearing me apart
I be feeling like it's no one there to talk
And I be feeling like it's no one I can call
It be so much on my mind but I cannot get it off
But that money make me happy, I'm so thankful for my team
'Cause now we state-to-state, I finally get to live my dream
So even though you're broke and in your past is full of pain
You gotta keep moving towards better days

Even when your back against the wall
Phone keep ringing, but no one you can call
Just know it's gon' get rough, it's gon' be tough
Just when you had enough, you can't give up
You gotta tell yourself
Forget about the pain you felt
Every move easy, count each step
I know you gotta live one out
Even when your back against the wall
Phone keep ringing, but no one you can call
Just know it's gon' get rough, it's gon' be tough
Just when you had enough, you can't give up
You gotta tell yourself
Forget about the pain you felt
Every move is a counted step
I know you got a little more left

Titanic

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, that's probably Tago
Goddamn, BJ with another one

[Rod Wave]
Say when love comes around naturally
You'll miss it, my friend, if you blink
Now you're just a memory
Tried to tell you, but now you just remember me
I was tryna let you know, yeah, uh
I was tryna let you know, yeah
I was tryna let you know, woah
I was tryna let you know
'Fore I let you go, woah, yeah

[Rod Wave]
I was tryna hold on, hold on to ease the pain
But why hold on if I wasn't ready to change?
And now you're just a memory
Don't mistake my cries for cries of sympathy
I was just so young, so young, didn't know the difference
Mama said, "Don't make excuses, son, 'cause that'll never fix it"
Mama said, "Just take your losses, son, and then grow with it"
Mama said, "Just next time you get this far, do it different"
And I tried to do it different when I fell in love
But sittin' waitin' on karma had me scared enough
Like this time, no, next time, it'll be fair enough
In the inside, I'm tearing up

[Rod Wave & Kevin Gates]
Say when love comes around naturally
You'll miss it, my friend, if you blink
Now you're just a memory
Tried to tell you, but now you just remember me
I was tryna let you know, yeah, uh
I was tryna let you know, yeah
I was tryna let you know, woah
I was tryna let you know
'Fore I let you go, woah (Luca Brasi), yeah

[Kevin Gates]
I still think about you, 'cause I was your first
First real one that ever was
Hurt still come when not on drugs
Love to see you smile, got you a purse from out the dirt
And the work still come from out the slums
You from my turf, I'm the first real one you ever loved
And I been lookin' for you inside somebody else
It been so hard to find
Room full of crowded people, I feel lost sometimes
Know you in a relationship, but still, I gotta call sometimes
I was just thinking about you, I tapped your line, you crossed my mind

[Rod Wave]
Say when love comes around naturally
You'll miss it, my friend, if you blink
Now you're just a memory
Tried to tell you, but now you just remember me
I was tryna let you know, yeah, uh
I was tryna let you know, yeah
I was tryna let you know, woah
I was tryna let you know
'Fore I let you go, woah, yeah

Way before this rappin', a nigga ain't never play with me

Abandoned

AceLex got a full one

He's been abandoned his whole life (Oh yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side
He's been broken, traumatized

Yeah, yeah, uh (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
Uh, okay


I can remember, gotta remember way back when
Since a small small kid, I didn't ever have no friends
'Member daddy went to prison, Uncle Derek took me in
Then Uncle Derek went to prison, that's when my troubles began
Mama went off and found her some happiness, she got married
Missin' my daddy badly, I turned my back on the family
And that left me looking for love in all the wrong places
Now my heart that was so full of love is full of hate
Everybody that I invested trust turned to be snakes
Everybody that I invested trust turned to be fake
I know you're frustrated, you want me to open more
But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal a broken soul


He's been abandoned his whole life (Oh yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side
He's been broken, traumatized


Uh-huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg
Uh


Now here's a toxic trait that I have
I beg for distance when I'm mad, but bein' distant, we won't last
And if it's best for you, then go be free
But if you plan on comin' back, then baby, you shouldn't leave
'Cause by the time that you get back, I'll be gone
Too scared of bein' alone, and where I lay my hat's my home
And I know that you're frustrated, you want me to open more
But it takes a strong, strong heart to heal my broken soul


Broken soul
Broken, soul, yeah
Bring the hook back right there


He's been abandoned his whole life (Woah, woah, his whole life, his whole life, yeah)
If loving me is hard, I apologize (Yeah, yeah, yeah, woah)
If I push you away, promise you'll stay by my side (Push you away, yeah, if I push you away)
He's been broken, traumatized (He's been traumatized, traumatized)


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah-yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg, (Woah, woah, woah, woah) yeah-yeah-yeah, dawg

Chip On My Shoulder

Mmm, mmm

Remember, I was a small child, we would play
That was way before the drama I endured, and the pain
Mama had already told me there'll be days when it rains
But lately, it's been crazy hurricanes
And this life we live is strange, I've been lost since I was young
'Member pops had went to prison, that's when we was low on funds
Mama said I have this chip on my shoulder, that's forever
Seen them close the casket on Deja, we grew up together
Then X told me play it safe, three days later he was murdered
Got me on my knees, I'm askin' God what's my purpose
I pray that before I leave I leave my heart in these verses
'Til then I'll lay in this bed and repeat thoughts in my head

Mama told me when it rains, it be pourin'
Mama told me it would rain, but it's stormin'
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
Mama told me when it rains, it be pourin'
Mama told me it would rain, but it's stormin'
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
I got this chip on my shoulder forever


Mmm, mmm
I got this chip on my shoulder forever
I got this chip on my shoulder forever and ever

Heart on Ice (Remix)

[Rod Wave]
SpeakerBangerz
Look, uh, look

[Rod Wave]
Heart been broke so many times I don't know what to believe (Yeah, yeah)
Mama say it's my fault, it's my fault, I wear my heart on my sleeve (Yeah, yeah)
Think it's best I put my heart on ice, heart on ice 'cause I can't breathe
I'ma put my heart on ice, heart on ice, it's gettin' the best of me

[Rod Wave]
While in the cell with Lil' Hakeem, after I slapped him I had told him
"I don't know how you get down with them clowns, but I'm a soldier"
No one could understand, I had way too much aggression (Brrt)
That built over the years from my abandoned adolescence
See I done been lied to, backstabbed, and heartbroken
I wanted to cry but I was too afraid to open
Prayin' one day I'd find a peace of mind by the ocean
I spent all my time committing crimes to get closer
While at my nana house I play the couch, starin' at the ceiling
Tryin' not to get in my feelings
Thinkin' of a way I can make these millions
Maybe that'll take this pain away and clear up all these rainy days, yeah

[Rod Wave]
Heart been broke so many times I don't know what to believe (Know what to believe, yeah)
Mama say it's my fault, it's my fault, I wear my heart on my sleeve (My fault, it's my fault)
Think it's best I put my heart on ice, heart on ice 'cause I can't breathe (I can't breathe, I can't breathe)
I'ma put my heart on ice, heart on ice, it's gettin' the best of me (The best of me)

Stabbed in my back so much, got residency at the trauma unit (Yeah)
Growin' up, ain't had no guidance, so I had to let my mama do it (Yeah, yeah)
If something happen to me, just know my brothers ain't do it, just know the opps'll do it (Facts)
But them chances right now so slim 'cause the opps into it
Lost my granny, ain't understand
I reminisce 'bout a hundred grand
Came from nothing, they don't understand
Put ketchup on Wonder Bread (Yeah)
Summertime in Miami, had the top down
Can't do that shit in Chi-Town 'cause shots gon' be fired around (Bah, bah, bah)
That Chance song was cool, but I can't slide around
This shit so fake and so snake that they'll kill you for a half a pound (Yeah, yeah)
That's why I'm always around my bitch 'cause she turned me out
I was in that water with them sharks and I damn near drowned

Heart been broke so many times I don't know what to believe
Mama say it's my fault, it's my fault, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Think it's best I put my heart on ice, heart on ice 'cause I can't breathe
I'ma put my heart on ice, heart on ice, it's gettin' the best of me
