lyrics

(Hook 1)

It's okay I see life different than you
You ain't looking with the lens that I depicted it through
I hope opinions that I have aren’t too offensive to you
The tension got thicker, and the temperature grew
I know some haters who were doubting, I remember a few
I bet when you look back, you regret it was you
Before you start to judge, try to step in my shoes
Stop fronting like we ever was cool, we never was cool

(Verse 1)

The sun's out, thank God for the warm embrace
Scatter brained, my head's running out of storage space
My spot reserved for the greats
My jobs starts early in the morning, that’s better than working corners late
Actions speak louder than words, can’t reward a snake
I cut off the head of the serpent, cook it, who want a plate
Caution tape, surrounded my house, I got shot inside
I don’t even know how they got inside, thought I locked the door
Never let my heart fill up with hate, that’s how you rot inside
Eye for an eye will go forever if you count the score
Saw fifty grand in cash before I ever got employed
All the times I’ve enjoyed, all the lives I’ve destroyed
Always been strong minded, never been a pushover
Used to watch 'em cook coca, he told me look closer
They got my back, like the hood's supposed to
I don’t care for jokers
Bitch I built the culture, Pat Riley-Erik spoelstra

(Hook 2)

It's okay, I see life different than you
You ain't looking with the lens that I depicted it through
I hope opinions that I have aren’t too offensive to you
The tension got thicker, and the temperature grew
I know some haters who were doubting, I remember a few
I bet when you look back, you regret it was you
Before you start to judge, try to step in my shoes
Stop fronting like we ever was cool, we never was cool

(Bridge)

Take a deep breath, hold up, take a deep breath
Brody got a death wish, he can meet death
Take a deep breath, hold up, take a deep breath
Brody got a death wish
Take a deep breath, hold up, take a deep breath
Brody got a death wish, he can meet death

(Hook 3)

It's okay, I see life different than you
You ain't looking with the lens that I depicted it through
I hope opinions that I have aren’t too offensive to you
The tension got thicker, and the temperature grew
I know some haters who were doubting, I remember a few
I bet when you look back, you regret it was you
Before you start to judge, try to step in my shoes
Stop fronting like we ever was cool, we never was cool
