    [Outro]

    62

    (Stop, stop, stop, stop…)

    63

    Have you seen me? I’m doing so good

    64

    Every time we meet: "Oh, I’m so sorry"

    [Sample]

    68

    "You know, I kept it real

    69

    It ain’t too many real people out here

    70

    And people be on some weak bitch-ass shit all day long

    71

    Industry people… regular people…

  19. 72

    And then when you keep it real with people, they cross the line, take your kindness for weakness and that’s weak."
