[Verse 1 - Fils]
J'avais le coeur sur la main mais l'estomac dans les talons
J'aimerais acquérir la sagesse et la foi de mon daron
On finis par détester ceux qu'on a beaucoup aimé
Ecrire des phases et des punchlines pour faire un beau couplet mec
Des fois je me parle a moi meme, pour être sur que quelqu'un m'écoute
Si je vous gêne c'est la même, je vous prie d'aller vous faire foutre
Ne pas vivre dans le doute, c'est ce que je me répétais
A l'époque où j'avais pas de sous, maintenant je suis à l'aise
On a pas la même vie, on pas la même mort
Difficile faire de la trap, sur cette instru hardcore
J't'ai niqué 5 fois, mais t'en veux encore
J'ai besoin d'haineux comment faire quand t'as pas de renforts ?
C'est ma première sur le beat, donc negro je vais doucement
Je viens de prendre 15 piges, mais t'inquiète j'ai du talent
Vu qu'j'suis le frère de HMF, tu voulais que je te fasse danser
Mais moi je suis pas la pour vous ambiancer
[Hook - Lil Yann]
J’voulais juste faire un peu de bon son
J’voulais ressembler à mon daron
Mais les préjugés m’ont buté ( x2 )
Homie j’suis dans la ville
J’écris un couplet
Je raconte un peu tout ce que j’ai vécu
On rigole en temps de paix
Ma vie serait meilleur si j’l’avais bien conçu
Je veux m’évader (x6)
[Verse 2 - Ya Minko]
I learned one thing, then I learned two things
And somehow I felt like I knew something
So I went running, then ran out of options
& then out of options, I learned how to keep going
Survival of the fittest means your skills gon keep you alive
Barely made money, good people sheltered me at night
Power to the people, watch the tide change as we rise
Love you from the bottom of my heart, that's the hardest type
Hit rock bottom, then I started wearing denim
& the same jeans I got here with, the ones I'm rocking
Remember my dear mother got'em at the flea market
She said keep my words with you, I still got'em the pocket
it's tears in my eye socket when I think of time wasted
Wasted, cooling with junkies with low wisdom
They started losing they teeth, & I started losing patience
This ain't how I wanna live, this cannot be how you do this
Gotta do this like I know it's better ways, I was clueless
Ignorance is not victimless crime, I'm here to prove it
You cannot win if you're weak in the mind, I'm meditating
Know when I finally end up doing what I said, that's how I did it
Tell my brother do not live as I did
That shit could kill you...
[Hook - Lil Yann]

[Outro - Collin PRay]
See how we raise?
That's the way we was brought up.
It ain't nothing changed...
Our lives just done caught up
(x4)
Lyrics
Sick & tired of being tired...
Shoutout Kendrick
[Verse 1 - Ya Minko]
Tired of being a mess
Tired of lies. Tired of being so late
Tired of looking at people, and feeling they better, cause deep down a nigga ashamed...
Tired of trynna be tough
Tired of trynna be different, for Social Media attention, I'm gone...
Tired of time on my phone
Tired of being alone...
When I’m in public, with thousand of souls all complaining, they tired of living below... The average
I'm hoping that someday we'll finally do better, I’m too far away from my home
La Migra won't leave me alone. They want me gone
I love my brothers the most. Y'all took'em all from our coasts...
They ain't want Visas. Why y'all ain't leave them alone?!
[Verse 2 - Ya Minko]
Damn...
Tired of pain
Tired of times we complain
Tired of feeling the same...
Tired of looking for someone to blame, when the fingers are pointing within
Tired of seeing my brothers that go through the motion, get lost and end up in the Penn...
My nigga if people told you you was nothing from birth
On God, I'm feeling your pain
I carry your tears in my chest
It’s hurting my soul
Tired of being my worst...
Tired of words from the family
They told me no music I shut off, and went on my own
Tired of hearing back home
The stories of mothers sacrificing greatness for men
Who barely even take to time to appreciate what you did
I cry with the pen...
[Bridge - Ya Minko]
I know, you feel something
I know, you feel something
I know, you feel something
I know, you feel something
Hope the pain triggers something
I hope it changes something
I know you feel something
Cause we all tire the same
& it’s...
[Verse 3 - Ya Minko]
Crazy how we all been treating women like garbage
Still they won't do us the same...
They could call us who we are
We’re criminals
Y'all mad cause they call us trash
After raping and beating occurred?
All cause we all insecure?
After we call'em all bitches for fun?
Burden them with kids, then dip while they raise'em alone?
The fuck are you on?
Man something is wrong
& don’t you tell me keep it down...
[Verse 4 - Ya Minko]
How you hate racism, glorify hatred, and sexism?
Why you hate loving so much?
How you don't see that the bigger picture's only ever getting smaller, when you don't carry your own?
Why you shoot me with a gun, like they did Trayvon
I look like Trayvon, & you look like my son...
I look like I'm tired, of writing these songs
It looks like I can't do this stuff on my own
I'm tired of trynna make us get along
& try to do right I just wanna do wrong
Tell'em I'm sorry, and hope they don't take me to trial
I'm hoping they give me security
Tell'em I'm mentally ill, I ain't mean to shoot people in churches
Tell'em it's cool if I'm racist, as long as I'm keeping my free speech...
Tell'em get back on they boats, and go back where they came from
Though they ain't had iPhones...
So they might go lost cause we took'em
They can't go back in the morning...
Make sure no more of them make it in...
Even if we gotta...
(Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!)
[Outro - Ya Minko]
Tired of living & tired of trynna fit in
And tired of feeling I'm hunted
I'm tired of feeling defeated I make you this promise
I'm tired but I will not rest till I win
