"Ville Mentality"

How long can I survive with this mentality?

How long can I survive with this mentality?

Trials and tribulations I'm facing

In this age of information, I hate this shit

'Cause niggas hit my phone when they want some shit

Bitches hit my phone when they want some dick

Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear

Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear

Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear

Damn it, won't be long 'fore I disappear

You call it runnin', I call it escapin'

Start a new life in a foreign location

Similar to my niggas duckin' cases

Can't take the possible time that he faces

How long can I survive with this mentality?

How long can I survive with this mentality?

My dad, he died, he got shot 'cause his friend set him up

And I didn't go to his funeral

And sometimes when I'm in my room

I get mad at my momma when she been mean to me

When she say, when she say, "Clean up", I say

Nigga play me, never, give up my chain, never

Give up my pride, never, show 'em my pain, never

Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never

Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never

Nigga play me, never, give up my chain, never

Give up my pride, never, show 'em my pain, never

Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never

Dirt on my name, never, dirt on my name, never

How long can I survive with this mentality?

How long can I survive with this mentality?

I get mad, I slam my door and go in my room

And then, I get mad and I say, "I wish my dad was here"
