Big Sean Guard Your Heart (feat. Anderson .paak, Earlly Mac & Wale)
I'm broken in pieces, down to the soul
I know the whole world can feel it
I know that they can see it (Oh)
Oh, I hate to admit that I need ya
I need you, I need you next to me
You said that you would ride for me
And I hear you but right now
I need to feel you right next to me
'Cause this is all I got, prove that you got me
(Oh yeah) Oh yeah, yeah (Broken in pieces)
'Cause this is all I got, prove that you got me
Yeah
So if you say, "nigga", then I'ma say, "Is that a Ritz?" Mmm, ooh
50 niggas deep (Deep), 100 niggas step
Million Man march (Mmm), cracker don't you start (Yeah)
Hold yo head, guard yo heart, hold yo head (Uh)
nigga, get yo bread, light yo spark, strike yo mark, life don't stop
So hold yo head, guard yo heart, hold yo head (Yeah)
Conflicted in this free based world of give and take (Take)
'Cause I always rather give than to be the one sayin' thanks (Whoa)
Conflicted like bein' signed to Ye and managed by Jay
Conflicted like bein' cool with Pusha and Drake (Damn)
Conflicted like reppin' a city where I hardly stay (Stay)
Or knowin' that you wrong but its too hard to say
Hold yo head (Hold yo head), guard yo heart (Guard yo heart)
In my life those were the hardest parts (Yeah)
So many dark times I wish I caught a spark
Or learned not seein' eye to eye could be fixed with a heart to heart (God)
So many lost, I feel lost, got me feelin' like a real nigga Holocaust
Got me mournin' while its dark (Dark)
Life will eat you alive, we know how to be a meal
Shit, rather than see a mill to make it out you need a skill (Yeah)
Thought I was past my past but let's be clear (Clear)
Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear (Swerve)
Regrettin' everything in life is my only fear (My only fear)
And you know what they say about not conquerin' fears (What?)
If you don't then they'll always be near
As that reminder in your ear, shit that I ain't tryna hear (Nah)
Hold yo head (Hold yo head), guard yo heart (Guard yo heart)
In my life those were the hardest parts (Swerve)
Oh, you mistake me for fallin' down for fallin' off (Whoa)
Or mistake me bein' soft for speakin' from the heart
I guess life hasn't taught you as much as you thought
Instead of pickin' up yo missin' pieces, you pick me apart
Boy, hold yo head but guard yo heart
Got tired of white silence so the riots started
And the robbers robbed, you wylin' 'cause yo product gone
We mad that Eric Garner, Breonna, Gianna father gone (Yeah)
Alot of trauma, we tired, exhausted
Ermias the prophet said it'd be a marathon, look
Seen all my dawgs, shown me God was watchin'
Pandemic slowin' 'em down, they fastin', Ramadan
The land of fifty stars on Hollywood marchin'
White friends don't got us, I promise you I block 'em (Straight up)
I'ma count my bread, I defied the odds
And f..ck the Saint quarterback 'cause he ain't Saint Laurent
Boy, from here on out we on Pyer Moss
If we leave Reebok, we still bringin' pumps in all the broads
I motivate (I motivate), I don't divide (I don't divide)
The 45 a coward for practicin' otherwise
A burnt nation, said it's under God
Now gone throw the towel in, I'm by my brother's side
Yo niggas be yo niggas when you level up
You see that yo niggas and brothers different when luck is up
So I trust nothin', this industry's somethin'
My biggest rival is my mind protectin' my thoughts as well as my heart
It's 50 niggas deep (Deep), 100 niggas step
Million Man march (Mmm), cracker don't you start
Hold yo head, guard yo heart, hold yo head (Uh)
nigga, get yo bread, light yo spark, strike yo mark, life don't stop
So hold yo head, guard yo heart, hold yo head (Yeah)
