poison to get well

LBC on the track

Old pics,

old posts,

yeah, I know that dude You

still talk like him when you

speak on my mood You see

that mugshot,

you don't see my rent due

You see them dumb fights,

you don't see my breakthrough I

wore that version like a name

on a chain Heavy on my

chest, smell like county and pain

Had to drink that poison,

let it burn in my veins

So I could spit it back

out as a lesson,

not shame They see the man

I was,

not the man I am Judge

a chapter,

never read the plan I wear

my past like a scar,

it still swell Sometimes you gotta

drink the poison to get well

Had to bow my head down

just to excel Talk soft,

move sharp,

yeah, I learned myself I'm not

proud of everything I did,

oh well Sometimes you gotta drink

the poison to get well

I remember hand-me-downs,

hustle in a handshake Lyin' to

my mama,

school trip,

that was landscape Pocket full of

small bills,

heart full of big fears Prayin'

they don't pull up,

lights in the rear mirror Now

I talk numbers on the phone

that's legit But I still see

that kid every time I make

a flip If I never hit

the bottom,

I would never have grown Had

to humble my pride just to

sit on this throne They see

the man I was,

not the man I am Judge

a chapter,

never read the plan I wear

my past like a scar,

it still swell Sometimes you gotta

drink the poison to get well

Had to bow my head down

just to excel Talk soft,

move sharp,

yeah, I learned myself I'm not

proud of everything I did,

oh well Sometimes you gotta drink

the poison to get well You

want the glow,

not the ground Want the peace,

skip the time Want the fruit,

not the root How I crawled

through the grime If I bleed

in this rhyme,

just know it's part of the

heal Every bruise that I hide

made this hope into real They

see the man I was,

not the man I am Judge

a chapter,

never read the plan I wear

my past like a scar,

it still swell Sometimes you gotta

drink the poison to get well

Had to bow my head down

just to excel Talk soft,

move sharp,

yeah, I learned myself I'm not

proud of everything I did,

oh well Sometimes you gotta drink

the poison to get well
