2 Official - Can I Be Honest

She asked me how I'm doing to be honest I really was going through it
Depression was trying to conquer head to head I must pursue it
Hundred million thoughts versus me ain't no substitution
I gotta get through it, gotta paddle, gotta canoe it
Oh, I'm good I'm doing great, how are you? I hope the same
Pop a smile, squint my eyes, give 'em laughs that's the game
If it ain't one problem it's another problem loaded up
To tell the truth I broke down I almost folded up
Poppin' pills to fight the pain I let nobody see that part of me
Visits to the doctor say it's fuckin' up my arteries
The devil, he must leaned into his punches broke the guard of me
That wasn't the end of me that's just the start of me come follow me
One, two, three, who counted me out? Bitch I'm gonna make you swallow me
I put that on the heart of me I'm serving you the harder me
I saw no other option so I jumped into the streets
You gon' starve or you gon' eat? Thoughts to self let's start a feast
I find a play and loop my action like I put it on repeat
I pray every nigga make it out who gets it out the streets
Snatch and runs 'cause we didn't have it, got it, put me on my feet
That ain't the brightest thing to do but being broke is what it beat
I used to roll up on the sneak behind them doors I'm getting geek'ed
My shirt off so it won't wreak when I approach in public
Balled up in the corner throwing up a nigga feeling weak
Lost for air I couldn't speak this ain't the half this is just the peak

Can I be honest, I was going through it
Can I be honest, can I be honest?
Can I be honest, I was going through it
Can I be honest, can I be honest?

Reflect on myself in the mirror take the shades off so I can see clear
Out of body type experience it feels like I'm not even here
In my vision I'm seeing a zombie it's a blur, smear
I experienced so much in my lifetime that's the reason I don't got a fear
I wasn't running from the truth I just rather clock in in the booth
I gotta protect my energy if you're against it then you are an enemy
Every time you come around you be telling me something it's about drama
Baby this ain't a theater I rather focus on me getting greater
And if not that it's a favor, I'm ducking I'm gon' see you later
Insufficient on your risk taking I step out on faith I'm braver
For years I been in the same hood I'm trying to switch up the neighbors
How do you plan on making a change? Hustle, work, and labor
Mold the game to what I want it to be I'm a shaper
You can't escape her, on my mind blueberry paper
Humble beginnings wasn't having I was looking bad
It influenced me to become a taker for real

Can I be honest, I was going through it
Can I be honest, can I be honest?
Can I be honest, I was going through it
Can I be honest, can I be honest?
