J.I. – “Believe Me” (Official Video)

Lyrics :

Believe Me
Yea I need you to believe me please forgive if they deceive me yea let me talk my
Before you last inside my shoes you gotta live my life before you look death in the eyes you
gotta risk ya life
Before you get closer to God you gotta live ya
life
Own up to the consequence or pay a different price
When I speak to for, he be like I can’t lie this kid is nice
Just a couple years ago I was looking at my nighas like
We gon make it out the hood I’m not gon lie I did it twice
Intoxicated I was
putting up with shit I didn’t like
Anything to numb myself and make my dumb ass feel alright
If niggas act fly, we gon put em on a different flight
As I walk through the valley, I see shadows in the alley
Glad my grandma in Miami cause I ain’t going b
ack to Cali
Cause I don’t wanna lose my life I know I gamble with it I’m just tryna do shit right
Don’t let niggas in ya circle they just gon get used to the hype
Everything I do is bulletproof can’t let them shoot me like dice
Fucking round, I coulda p
robably overdosed a couple times
I was trynna put my circle on top like the number nine
Outta every phone number niggas always seem to remember mine
Yea let me talk my
Where I’m from the summers cold and the winters hot collect heat from the stove, and we
cook crack in the dinner pot
I ain’t never have to cook it but my mother did
I made a vow to not tell a soul what my brothers did
You move ya mother out the hood don’t tell em where ya mother live
Once evil creeps up on that soul you told prepare for o
ther shit
I only show love and give out trust under one condition that you hold it down but now a
days nighas be snitching
I’m sorry if I treat you different
Yea
But I need you to believe me
Please forgive if they deceive me
