Lyrics Venting While Im Perking - Mike Mike

Nobody knows the risks I take
Mike, Mike, you be goin' crazy
I hate when my efforts go unnoticed
And I feel underappreciated and undervalued
You don't know how hard I'm tryin
Fannie 808

You don't know how hard I try
To be a better person
But lately it ain't working
I even quit the dope game for a minute and started working
They said the streets ain't worth it Death
That's the only thing that's certain
You don't know how hard I try
To make it all worth it
I started from the bottom, I'm emerging
The streets turned me into a whole different person
Let me vent to you while I'm perking

Fire headies was waitin' on me in the alley for me to serve em
I get the money, go right to the mall and start splurging
Cover up every insecurity that I got with a purchase
Patchin' up my flaws on the outside, I appear perfect
I just wanna be who they wanna be
When I walk in the room, people notice me
All the hard work it took, they ain't noticing
People so judgmental and don't know a thing
They don't know a thing
Don't know about them high speeds
We know we gon' get away, so we don't throw a thing
I got anything you think you need, just give my phone a ring
Bet I can compensate you, if you got the paper
Phone always ringin', but I don't hold no conversation
I should've been a receptionist or an operator
Tell me what you tryna get and the route you takin
And I'll be there in a jiffy, it's crazy in my city
Got a ride with the blicky
My biggest fear is runnin' and still dyin' like Ricky
Or dyin' like Nipsey
They say real is rare to find, we dyin' out quickly
Can't wait till I catch shhhhh I'm dyin' just to kill em
whole city ridin', strikers shit, we used to ride pillies
I remember wearin' pennies, now I put my feet in Fendi's
I grinded hard for this shit
Late nights, 2 a.m., cold and dark as a bitch
I was ridin' in that fin, out here sharkin' and shit
Need a press for them grams to get it hard as I can
You gotta move like a shark to outsmart all the pigs
To get to where I'm at, it was hard than a bitch

You don't know how hard I try
To be a better person
But lately it ain't working
I even quit the dope game for a minute and started working
They said the streets ain't worth it, Death
That's the only thing that's certain
You don't know how hard I tried
To make it all worth it
I started from the bottom, I'm emergin
The streets turned me into a whole different person
Let me vent to you while I'm perking
