    Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
    He wanted love, but he only made more pain
    Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
    He wanted love, but he only made more pain

    Picture my soul climbin' out of infinite holes
    Where niggas die over pride and live for the dough
    If I survive, then I strive to hit with the flow
    Hopin' these waves will pave, but the ripples is slow
    And I'm conflicted with no digits to show
    But fantasies of frivolous hoes grippin' this pole
    The temperature's low
    But you know that ain't stoppin' lil nigga for slidin', like the tires on the whip in the snow
    This is for sure, I'm tip-toein' around the abyss with sticks blowin'
    Piss poor with intentions to glimpse
    The wrist glowin', face, tits, for rent, owing
    Fist clenched when niggas diss, but since knowin'
    Lives expire when niggas pride gets higher than the vocal range inside, but rise vocal chain, uh
    My road to fame is right with spikes and broken lanes, and tolls I can't afford but I won't complain
    I know the more I gotta struggle is the more I gain
    Post-traumatic-stress on an immature brain
    Leaves another corpse, young pup playin' war games
    Now he's handcuffed, old lady sayin': Poor thing
    Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
    He wanted love, but he only made more pain
    Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
    He wanted love, but he only made more pain

    You wanna talk shit?
    You wanna run your mouth?
    You want some gangsta's front yo motherfuckin' house?
    We'll set this bitch off, yeah, set this bitch off
    We'll set this bitch off, set this bitch off
    You wanna–

    Here go a song that gives a shit off, put my stunt on
    This nigga back home been talkin' slick, and I done heard him
    You get your name goin', niggas like that gon' throw they dirt on
    You make you some calls, niggas gon' act like you ain't earn 'em
    He talk like he live, but I remember him from high school
    Man, deep down inside know he a bitch, I wanna hurt him
    I know that's my pride, I carry it just like a burden
    When egos is flarin', beware that's when they close the curtain (put your hands up)
    It's when they close the curtain (put your motherfu–)
    It's when they close the curtain (you pull out a gun, nigga? Yo, chill, chill, chill-chill-chill-chill)
    It's when they close the curtain (you pull out a gun, nigga? Yo, chill, chill, chill, chill)
    It's when they close the curtain (you gon' shoot me? No, no, no)

    Don't pull out no pistol, run me my fade
    Come get your issue, no one gets sprayed
    Win or you lose, live to fight another day
    And if I take an L, I won't feel no way

    Plenty nights a nigga didn't eat, punk bitch
    Rent owed, damn near was on the street, punk bitch
    Weren't no Western Unions, so you were not needed, punk bitch
    All of a sudden, I'm buzzin', oh, now it's beef, punk bitch
    Gonna pop off, get fucked by your mystique, punk bitch
    I knew you way before you was actin' street, punk bitch
    Started rollin' with niggas that's packin' heat, punk bitch
    You more like me than them niggas, you still a geek, punk bitch
    You can't hide it with tattoos on your physique, punk bitch
    And that lingo you added, that how you speak, punk bitch?
    And you grew up with both your parents to teach, punk bitch
    So how the fuck all of the sudden, you turnin' G? Punk bitch
    You a slave to the peer pressure, you're weak, punk bitch
    You ain't claimin' no real section, your street weren't lit
    Man, your shit look like mine, with hella tree trunks, bitch
    Move to Forest Hill Drive, and it was peace for a bit
    Till domestic turned violent, then a key just switched
    In the back of my mind, I gotta be somethin', bitch
    That's when I started rhymin' and makin' beats, son o' bitch
    Way before you was lyin' 'bout touchin' keys, son o' bitch
    Heard you say I ain't real, that's your belief, huh? Bitch
    Well, look, I'm back in the 'Ville, so we can see, punk bitch
    Gonna shoot me the fade when we meet, punk bitch
    And don't be bringin' no hammers, nah, don't cheat, punk bitch
    Nah, don't cheat, punk bitch
    Tryna lean on that shit, nigga, I want my fuckin' head up ('cause I've been through lots of things)
    Punk bitch (real)
    Punk bitch, huh

    Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
    He wanted love, but he only made more pain
    Poor thing, young pup's playin' war games
    He wanted love, but he only made more pain

    Don't pull out no pistol, run me my fade
    Come get your issue, no one gets sprayed
    Win or you lose, get to fight another day
    And if I take an L, I won't feel no way
    'Cause I've been through lots of things

    Hey, what's up? Hey what's up
    Hey, what's up?
    Yo, what's good?
    Hey
    Hey, what's up? What's up, how you been?
    Nah, fuck
    Your call has been forwarded to voicemail
    The person you're trying to reach–
    Fuck
