  • This concrete is too cold, to be walking on it
    Or else walking on it with no shoes on (no shoes on)
    Don't wanna struggle, oh no
    Don't want it to become a habit

    I've been living in the gutter with no shoes on
    Let me get up out of here
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody

    My momma need a crib
    Son needs some Jordan's
    This some bull shit, cause I can't afford them
    Pairs listening
    And the band recording
    Trying to dodge the pen
    Hoping I survive the morning
    Shit is getting hot
    Man I'm talking scourging
    Watching bodies drop
    Trying to make a fortune
    Dancing with no top
    Trying to skip my fork and
    Wanna own the block
    Then you gotta put your work in
    Cause

    This concrete is too cold, to be walking on it
    Or else walking on it with no shoes on (no shoes on)
    Don't wanna struggle, oh no
    Don't want it to become a habit

    I've been living in the gutter with no shoes on
    Let me get up out of here
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody

    [?] instead of calling
    Dreaming out the sale, tell me wake up in the morning
    Magic warp, always disappears
    Smoked and my eyes blurred
    But my vision clear
    Hot head, but this concrete cold
    Titanium bitch I never follow
    Never judge a nigga before you judge yourself
    You ain't got to help me
    Nigga help yourself
    They got me up in here
    I don't know what they're talking
    Well tell them I'm the mob
    I don't own them
    I'll take the sugar sharks
    They can't breathe out the water
    I'll tear your ass apart and put you out of order

    This concrete is too cold, to be walking on it
    Or else walking on it with no shoes on (no shoes on)
    Don't wanna struggle, oh no
    Don't want it to become a habit
    I've been living in the gutter with no shoes on
    Let me get up out of here
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody
    Before I hurt somebody
    Or I have to hurt somebody Writer/s: ALIAUME THIAM, ARDEN ALTINO, FRENCH MONTANA, JERRY DUPLESSIS, KASEEM DEAN
