"I mean the reason they call him 'Crazy Joe'
He goes off once in a while uhh
But he's the type of guy you can
Go to and you can talk to, you know?
'Uhh Joey
Look these guys are doin' somethin' they
Have no reason to be doin', I mean
What's goin' off with it?'
Joey, he'd go out there and
He'd talk to 'em and
If they don't listen, suddenly
Joe will go crazy, you know?"

Hold up
What's life like now? Shots of the expresso
'Cause gettin' star bucks been
The basic manifesto i'm up early mornin'
Breakin' fast through the thresholds
(uh huh) they tell I'ma wear myself out
But that's the dress code
Unlock the swag and nigga let's go
We securin' bags, you niggas insecure and mad
One hundred thirty on the dash
That's if my nigga Lex drove
Keep the heater stashed if we
Gotta leave some flesh cold
Usually we positive
Just tryna stay blessed though
I'd rather to be safe
Never know what to expect yo
In the streets, we livin'
In, niggas invidious, serious
And 'cause of this, inside
Of me, kept hidden, it's hideous
(uh) and that's ugly truth
I'm speakin' for my troubled youth
To whom I try to give a mental
Boost when I'm in the booth
Been through the struggle
Made it out and I'm the livin' proof
I took the pain like I pull
It from my wisdom tooth (nigga)

"We're still surviving
You know we took our bruises and we gave
Out bruises but we survived, we
Here, we got this
Which I think is out of sight"

First me and Robi break up
Now every day I wake up
With more bullshit as I arrive to the pulpit
Pro Era apostle
(preach) , nigga droppin' gospels
Chucky be a reverend, Psalm 47
God is the king of all on earth
But after him know that the Era is first
(know that)
Say it's all about knowin' your worth
Thank Christ for savin' my life today
Know I have the right of way
I'm blessed to see a brighter day (blessed)
Keep me away from the ruthless
You can teach a man a lesson
But don't make him feel stupid
Put me on, don't put me down, my G
We all out here just tryna be
Fine lines between egos and insecurities
You ain't less of a man if you don't squeeze
You not necessarily a man if you do
Chalk it up to human nature
'cause it's just what men do
Self-destruct with no fucks
Or love to give up i'm Chuck, Strangers

"And like I see a whole new future opening up
For me and like I really don't want to
Do all the things I've done over the years
Before i really don't want to do them
Again but, like if I do
Them, like in the past
I don't go around bragging 'I done
This, I done that, ' to myself so nobody
Knows about it and when nobody knows
Word don't get out and you don't get busted"
