[Intro]
Swade on the track
[Verse 1: Canon]
It's like twenty-four hours rollin'
I can hear the sirens goin'
Insecure, my brothers notice
I'm just tryin' not to show it
West side, family from it
Chi-town, live with it
Peace up, A-Town, moved down south with it
Nothin' came free, but it's fair, told me
We just hopin' for approval, you may never love me
Your friends ain't a promise, already got a team
But if I push you away then it's shame on me
No that's shame on us
Why we don't trust
And if God ain't admonished
You never see my love
And I know rejection be hurtin'
When you peep to my frustration
Ration and rotation
Dealin' with no patience
Wanna understand why that ain't mixin' with me
They told me, "Canon, be Canon", can't be no realer than me
They want a man with the heart of a saint, but ran from the streets
I'm just tryin' to figure out who rockin' with me just for me
Don't try to come for my head, I carry more than my name
I live with my own perspective, we may not think on the same
But that's okay and we know this, but you don't gotta run from it
I'm gon' love you regardless so you ain't got no love for me
And I know
[Chorus: Aaron Cole]
Yeah, been tryna know my part for a while
But you ain't gone get me off my route (Yeah)
And I'ma stand tall and I'ma trust God
And I'ma get this money 'til I fall ('Til I fall, yeah)
'Cause they ain't gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)
They ain't gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)
They ain't gotta love me no way (Yup)
No way (No way), no way (No way)
[Verse 2: Tony Tillman]
They tell me it's a cold world, I guess that's why my feet froze
Might be a little paranoid if the truth can be told (Okay)
Lock up the door to my heart (Okay), nowdays I use a peephole (Okay)
I know what's lurkin' outside, I seen the wolf in sheep clothes (I seen the wolf in sheep clothes)
Look on through the fake friend circles so you can keep those
No comfort dissin' the man, nah I don't believe that he rose (Don't believe that he rose)
They tell you, "Play the game with all, don't let 'em hurt you", D. Rose (Uh)
But boy, they'll do you foul and they won't even give you free throws (Free throws)
So I just stick to the script, don't even need a b-roll (Nah)
Just need my fam and my click, I'm stickin' to the G code (Code)
Don't need permission to ball (Nah), no validation from y'all (Nah)
Some dudes pretend to be tall when they just really Skee-Los
But I ain't stressin' on somethin', I done learned to embrace rejection (True)
No sweat if you don't like me, I still hope you see a blessin'
Whole world could be against me long as God for me
Don't really need acceptance from ya long as God love me
And I know
[Chorus: Aaron Cole]
Yeah, been tryna know my part for a while
But you ain't gone get me off my route (Yeah)
And I'ma stand tall and I'ma trust God
And I'ma get this money 'til I fall ('Til I fall, yeah)
'Cause they ain't gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)
They ain't gotta love me no way (Ain't gotta love me, no)
They ain't gotta love me no way (Yup)
No way (No way), no way (No way)
'Cause they ain't gotta love me no way
They ain't gotta love me no way
They ain't gotta love me no way
No way
