True Feelings - TJ Porter

They say I’m only gonna scratch the surface

This song I know that I gotta do it, I’ma show my true feelings

I’ma give 'em what they wanna hear, what y’all wanna hear now?

I’ma put my business in the air, I don’t really care now

I really don’t care now, let’s talk about all this shit

All of this music, all of this G shit

My whole life and my so-called bitch

This isn’t fair, I been goin' under pressure when I’m anywhere

I used to be scared, But now it’s time to just open up and let you hear

I was playin' ball 'fore I started with the music

Then I had jumped in the trap

Basketball wasn’t bringin' money in

So I had to go and sell out them packs, no cap

I’m only talkin' 'bout weed, no, I ain’t talkin' 'bout crack

I was just runnin' 'round the streets with my niggas

I don’t care if you my brother, we don’t tolerate rats

One of my dogs told, if you in it

And you in it and you snitchin'

I ain’t with it (Nah), on my life, I ain’t snitchin' (Nah)

Chic' got hit, I was fifteen

Sometimes I feel like it was 'cause of me

Was supposed to meet him at 3:15

Come get me 'fore my birthday, he was tellin' me

Twenty minutes later, on the big screen, why you had to go?

Why you cross that street goin' to the opp side just to bag a ho?

Shit fucked up, I was traumatized when I had to go bag my bro

Now you see how I feel when it come to the situation with Chico

When I think about it, I don’t go get it, I’m there for music

They say I’m only gonna scratch the surface

This song I know that I gotta do it, I’ma show my true feelings

I’ma give 'em what they wanna hear, what y’all wanna hear now?

I’ma put my business in the air, I don’t really care now

I really don’t care now, let’s talk about all this shit

All of this music, all of this G shit

My whole life and my so-called bitch

This isn’t fair, I been goin' under pressure when I’m anywhere

I used to be scared, But now it’s time to just open up and let you hear

I was in a shelter with my mom, bro and sister

When my mom met a mister, I would cry when he would kiss her

I ain’t know what they love was like, I know I miss my pops

Every time I argue with mom I would tell him to come get me

But the nigga would always flop

I had to get dropped in the precinct every weekend

Just for a parent swap

'Cause my mom and dad couldn’t be 'round each other

If there wasn’t no cops

Man, I was in a precinct, nigga, that’s no cap

Let’s talk about my bitch, I always thought she kept it real

She was here before the music, the money, the fame

Before I had got me a deal

We started arguin', she said she’d leave my sons

You see how emotions is spilled?

Ever since then I just been wonderin'

Was this even real?

Now I let it all out, nigga, you in or you out?

This what you wanted to hear

Now you see how I feel, nigga, you see how I feel

This shit ain’t lettin' me heal

When I think about it, I don’t go get it, I’m there for music

They say I’m only gonna scratch the surface

This song I know that I gotta do it, I’ma show my true feelings

I’ma give 'em what they wanna hear, what y’all wanna hear now?

I’ma put my business in the air, I don’t really care now

I really don’t care now, let’s talk about all this shit

All of this music, all of this G shit

My whole life and my so-called bitch

This isn’t fair, I been goin' under pressure when I’m anywhere

I used to be scared, But now it’s time to just open up and let you hear
