Lyrics 7-7 Freestyle - Salam

I grabbed the mic and then remembered I forgot how to cook
Life ain't been the same since a brotha been shook
Sometimes it's hard to thug it out but I wish that I could
But there's no such things as halfway crooks

Look

Same kid, makin' his life like this
Who'd a thought I'd roll the dice like this
Ain't been the same since Little Tikes and light up kicks
Now I gotta pray to even have a night like this

It's different
Everything's changed and rearranged
Thought I'd be the difference, Boy Wonder, shame
I used to want the girls, the money, and fame
I still do ain't a thing changed

It's hard to stay humble
I done stayed me through the pain and the struggle
I picked myself up by the belt I never buckled
Hard to make it make sense when all you do is hustle

Hustle for a better me
Easy to lose thoughts but futile when it's a memory
Tryna suffocate the pain with all the melodies
Hard to see your friend be your enemy
Too many snakes are fillin' in for me

The baggage held it
Too many baguettes on my necklace I been feelin' selfish
Too many people on my back that I can't feel helpless
Too many stabbed me in my back and there's no need to help it
You still jealous?

Fake love, the same stuff that takes from the cats that hate love
Can't trust nobody with the motto to take love
My M.O. been forgotten for fake thugs
Covered for the people they take from

Watch your back is what they sayin', the same stuff
Been watchin' me for years but I can't get it to shake up
Feel it in my chest so I've been sleepin' with fake drugs
Tryna ease the pain from the memories I came from

For real

Easy when you leave for the streets
Hard-headed makin' sense with the beat
Tryna make it better with my heart on my sleeve
I don't need another lesson with no measure to keep

Yeah

And I been feelin' like a wishin' well
Throwin' pennies just for good luck
Letting go of everything I'm feelin' that I should love
Cuz' I been on the road for a while
That I been feelin' at the same time lost and in love

And I been feelin' at the same time stuck in the mud
And I been hangin' with the Man up above
And I been searchin' for a better me
Nothin' I'll never be
Release the pain with a melody

For real
