Lloyd Banks Traumatized
[Verse 1]
Yo
Have you ever had somebody you loved and they didn't love you back?
Gotta learn how to walk away, ain't too much that can come from that
It's f..cked up, 'cause I feel like I get more flowers than hugs from rap
And that ain't even where it should be, keep me a duffel pack
I'm leaving soon, hope I can save a life before I do
You grievin' too? Feels like the more I get, the more I lose
You listen, you'll hear the sound of me dropping all these jеwels
Them cold hours, the day that you find out you'rе being used
You're reaching milestones and they don't see them through
Got so used to talking down, they can't even receive the news
I can tell you're in pain cause it's bleeding through
Rich or poor, there's no difference between the two
When I need a push, I think of the terrible shit that they said
If you ever wanna know who will leave you for dead, play dead
Me and my people share bonds, open wounds from the same lead They turn on you, they ain't fed, brand new paint with the paint rack
[Hook]
If you can sit up, then get up, don't ever stop believing
If you get cut, don't give up, you gotta keep on dreaming
You'll regret it if you don't try, you can win if you're breathing
Niggas dying to get the name known, all for the wrong reasons
I've seen so much for so long, it left me traumatized
The game killed who I was, it's been a homicide
Baby, I am who I am, I won't apologize
I'm finished, shit is all over, there's nothing finalized
[Verse 2]
I had to drain all these feelings, my heart was swelling
Nobody knows what I'm thinking cause I don't tell 'em
Overs and unders, we're winning, my rivals betting
You under pressure, her laws and survival setting
I done made so many dumb mistakes, but I don't regret 'em
Slipping may be who I am today, another lesson
People do anything for some money, no second guessing
Especially if they're down, shit's dangerous in recessions
There's opportunities there, you just looking out of the wrong lens
Weaknesses don't have status, nobody checks on their strong friends
The road was tough to get here, but now we stretching the long bends
This one means eighteen tapes now and they all tens
You better live, every grave is created equal
You could lose yourself along the way trying to be there for people
Long as I'm with the most high, I don't fear no evil
As time goes by, they just come around when they need you
[Hook]
If you can sit up, then get up, don't ever stop believing
If you get cut, don't give up, you gotta keep on dreaming
You'll regret it if you don't try, you can win if you're breathing
Niggas dying to get the name known, all for the wrong reasons
I've seen so much for so long, it left me traumatized
The game killed who I was, it's been a homicide
Baby, I am who I am, I won't apologize
I'm finished, shit is all over, there's nothing finalized
