No harm no foul


When I wake up 

Look in the mirror 

All I see is myself & I 

So in the end that’s all I got 

How can i compete with you 

When you don’t compare to me 

I don’t see no challenges 

I don’t see no competition 

It’s me vs me 

So how  I’m gonna lose 

People lie just hide behide a mask 

People leave your side 

People make up rumors & what they assume 

People promise to be there for you 

People say they got your back 

But when shit got real I had nobody to call 

What you know bout sleeping in them parks 

Falling down on my knees praying I make it out 

Saying I can’t go on like this no more 

I just wanted to make everybody proud 

Cause me to drown myself 

I end up forgetting about me

I forgot how to take care of me 

I forgot about my health  

Putting other needs before minds 

Losing apartments to help those 

Who couldn’t help themselves 

Even doe yall shitted on me 

I pray yall find peace within yourself 

No harm no foul 

Can’t hate you when all this pain made me stronger 

So thank you bitch 

Now I’m rich 

Now I got a story to tell
