J.I the Prince of N.Y - Calling Out 2 You (Intro)

Yeah
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh
Yeah

I know shit was picture perfect
But it didn't fit the time frame
I took advantage of my talent when my time came
Right now I'm drivin' through this boulevard of shame
I'll get back to you when I don't feel this pain
Catch me swervin' in my lane
Blow a couple M's on the new Bugatti, I'm insane
Walk around with my head high like gon' try me
Gotta keep a low profile 'cause everything I do get leaked
I got stoned with Rosetta, I'm tryna teach her how I speak
If you bringin' up my flaws, don't televise 'em to the streets
I was sellin' books and CD's on my block so I could eat (yeah)
I kept it a hunnid then I spent that on my piece (yeah)
And until I'm six feet under, I'ma do it for the streets (yeah, uh)
I did shit you may never do in your lifetime (uh-huh)
If she play her role, I may let her carry my lifeline (oh)
I know life's a bitch but I fell in love with a better one
Put her in her Birk' now it's time for me to go get her one
Yeah, don't put no blame on me 'cause I can't take no more
Yeah, I put this weight on me when I walked out that door
Yeah, and I can't help that I'm so selfish, I'm ashamed
And I can't help that I get caught up in my ways
And I can't help that I be fuckin' on your bestie
And I move way too clean and get caught up in somethin' messy
I know right you feel alone but it's okay 'cause you was better on your own

Pick you up when you're fallin' down
Can you pick it up when I'm callin' out
To you, to you, to you
I'm still pullin' you up when you're fallin' down
Can you pick it up when I'm callin' out
To you, to you, to you

We ain't never had no hope, so we always took a risk
Rock bottom hit hard, but I took it like a pimp
I took everything I had and put it on a wish
Took all the time you wasted and put it on my wrist
Gotta hold my heart with gloves on
If I spot a opp, I make 'em strip and put these slugs on
Nigga this is pain, I ain't tryna make no love songs
She feelin' pain so she don't wanna hear no love song
Feel like I've got this weight on my shoulders and it's holdin' me down
My hand glued to my pistol, I might just air out the crowd
Just sent a prayer to my lost ones, I hope that they proud
You ain't give up on me then, why you gon' give up on me now?
Top dawg, I've got VVS's on my leash
Get you knocked off, just to earn respect inside these streets
It's a cold world but let me show how my heart beat
To understand this lane you gotta sit inside this car seat (oh)
I'm still tryna figure out what changed you
Niggas mad 'cause I let my dick hang longer than my chains do
Step inside my world to fully comprehend what pain do
You accepted all my flaws just to show the world they painful (no, oh)

Pick you up when you're fallin' down
Can you pick it up when I'm callin' out
To you, to you, to you
I'm still pullin' you up when you're fallin' down
Can you pick it up when I'm callin' out
To you, to you, to you

High off my pride like a Perc' but I can't swallow it, nigga
I stood out the way but paved it for a lot of you niggas
Put the spotlight on my children 'cause I'm proud of you niggas
Might just let ya on a track so I could body you niggas (oh)
It's too much levels I could stoop to
My dawg got laced now he don't move the way he used to
I wanna hug 'em and tell 'em I love 'em but I'm ashamed
It's hard to handle the fact my brother might not be the same (might not be the same)
And this for all the niggas who supported me
This for all the engineers I paid when they recorded me
This for all the labels who looked down and closed their door on me
I went platinum in the trenches when these niggas had no loyalty (oh)
Year later and we only gettin' started
She listen to all my songs but still ask me why I'm heartless
Tried to stab me in my back but I still had your shit regardless (oh)
On this intro I reflected on my pain and went retarded
