I go to the hood, they tell me don't come back I'm starting a riot again
They coming around they bringing them drugs I'm starting to get high again
I fell on my back I was tryna get up but I had to go try it again
I cheated on you and now it's my confession, I'm sorry I'm mad again
He in a cell when I say sorry it's his pride again
This lawyer money steady stacking up so his appeal won't get denied again
Why Lil Durk can't do shows in Chiraq? 'Cause he'll start riots again
I know who sell phones and iPads they tryna get by again

Just keep Chicago in your prayer
Talk to the kids and you don't gotta pay us
I know that you thinking I probably don't care
I'm willing to change, can I talk to the mayor?
They go off my past, they don't treat me fair
Radio didn't play my songs on the air
I tried to go pop but the lane wasn't there
I change my music, they still didn't care

I made the news, I visit schools
They still deny me for my show, I'm confused
I'm tryna talk to the alderman, I'm tryna talk to the mayor
I'm tryna talk to the chief of police but they don't wanna hear it, they scared

All of my niggas savage, most of my niggas valid
Know a couple niggas ratted most of mine kept it silent
Little cuz fighting for murder, told 'em chill out gotta keep faith 'til the trial end
Half my city divided, if they can't get no money, they sliding
That's why all the young niggas wildin'
That's why they started them riots again
Police ain't doing nothing about it
Violate our rights, tryna whack us again
It was life or death for my best friends
I don't want Glocks all FN's
I told the youngins, "Be better than me"
If I don't try and help 'em I'm less of a man
I can show you how to manage your money 'cause I took a lesser advance
You in a position to be rich forever but what about the rest of your friends?
Know I changed 'cause I said things that I won't say again
Got to embrace the streets so kids can come out and play again
