[Lyric] “Asphalt” (King Lo)

They looking at me like it’s my fault
I had my back up on the asphalt
And they ain’t give me what I asked for
I had to take it had to kick
A couple back doors
I’m tryna change my life
What you think I rap for
I got the world on my shoulders
And they mad sore
I got the ball I’m bout to
Score without the backboard
I’m standing up I’m taking charge
I got the backbone

Back against the wall now I’m forced
To make these decisions I been
Stuck inside my head and I cannot
Escape the prison when I’m going
Through my thoughts all my memories
Like a prism i’m just thankful
That I’m free cause I could of been
In the system I lost niggas to the streets
Yea a lot of them fell victim swear
It almost made me sick but I never
Would show the symptoms
Hung around the OG’s and they
Gave me a lot of wisdom some
Teach you to lay a brick and some
Teach you to build a kingdom
If you mess up one time they gonna
Try to restrict your freedom and
The way they living now they
Just join them if they can’t beat them
Swear I lost a lot of friends cause
I didn’t know how to treat
But now I’m growing up and
I’m dealing with all my demons
They looking at me like it’s my fault
I had my back up on the asphalt
And they ain’t give me what I asked for
I had to take it had to kick
A couple back doors
I’m tryna change my life
What you think I rap for
I got the world on my shoulders
And they mad sore
I got the ball I’m bout to
Score without the backboard
I’m standing up I’m taking charge
I got the backbone

Jumping to conclusions decisions
Based of illusions don’t know what
You think you proving this game
We gonna end up losing I’m loyal
But don’t abuse it be careful about
What your choosing together we
Like a fusion there isn’t a better union
We make mistakes cuz we human
Ain’t perfect an it’s been proven
Heart crumbled now it’s in ruins
An I don’t know what I’m doin now
But I can’t stand still I got to
Move around
There ain’t a Safe side
In my little town
If I let them get a chance
They’ll put me in the ground
So I’m a take my shot
An i’m a make it count
Had to let go of the weight
Before It made me drown
Don’t try to claim me as ya friend
If you gon bring me down
They looking at me like it’s my fault
I had my back up on the asphalt
And they ain’t give me what I asked for
I had to take it had to kick
A couple back doors
I’m tryna change my life
What you think I rap for
I got the world on my shoulders
And they mad sore
I got the ball I’m bout to
Score without the backboard
I’m standing up I’m taking charge
I got the backbone
