I've been fighting my demons
Been fighting my demons
Man I wish I was dreaming, please tell me the reason 
That you had to do it, now I'm going through it 
You not lyin' then prove it, but you couldn't do it
So I had to shoot it, I ain't f*ck with the way you was movin' 
I'm on 295 and I'm cruising, bouta snap in this bitch bouta lose it

Caught me poppin' a bean now I'm zooted, got me feeling like why did I do this 
She fucked the gang, she a crew bitch
Shawty got ass and it's tooted, up
Stay off the shits ain't no lean in my cup
I got some shooters that stay in the cut, know where to find me not hiding wassup
Back to the demons I'm talkin' bout, they came around back at my mama house 
Don't f*ck with the way my life started out, I ain't have a room I was on the couch
And I didn't even have my father 'round, no men around it's just women now
I deal with the tempers like simmer down, go stay with friends to get out the house
Fast forward a few years I'm that nigga now, I'm leading the band I control the sound
My DOP bruhs lemme hear you loud, get this weight off my chest, drop a couple pounds
I'm going hard to make mama proud, she doubted me cause I be smoking loud
I said mama that shit kinda legal now, the road I am on you ain't lead me down
 
(Aye, aye)

I lost my nigga it's sickening, ugh
I admit that shit hit different, ugh 
The music I'm dropping you hearing it, ugh
I end ya shit like a period, ugh
Wiping my eyes, caught a tear in it 
My eyes red like ya heart, I put fear in it 
I'm on the edge like a pier and shit
Now I hope that my message is clear bitch

I've been fighting my demons
I've been fighting my demons
I wish I was dreaming
Please tell me the reason, that you had to do it
Now I'm going through it
You not lying then prove it, but you couldn't do it
So I had to shoot it
I ain't f*ck with the way you was moving 
Bouta snap in this bitch bouta lose it 

Not talking suicide, know this shit do or die
Gotta be patient can't rush ya way through it 
Few bands and you blew it, not real and I knew it
One peek at you (pikachu) and you electrocuted 
The current contender b, current like energy
Where I am at, couple years I'm not finna be
Temperature rising, I know that you feel the heat
Cappin' if you say that you don't be feeling me
I got the remedy, won't share the recipe
I cannot fail cause success is my destiny
I'm at the show and majestyyy right next to me
I'm being nice and now shawty be sexting me 

Heh
Lil bitch 
It's Fortunate
SNOW team, captain 

SNOW team bring that heat, talking K2 that's spicy 
Lil shawty she bad when she mad she get fiesty 
I got the juice like I'm sippin on Hi-c, all of my niggas with me so don't try me
Just call me Fortunate, diamonds be blinding
We coming fast, we got that perfect timing 
I got the will to inspire, not working for hire
These niggas is tired 
Aye 

Been fighting my demons (aye)
I be fighting my demons 
I wish I was dreaming 
Please tell me the reason, that you had to do it
Now I'm going through it
You not lying then prove it, but you couldn't do it 
So I had to shoot
I ain't f*ck with the way you was moving, I'm on 295 and I'm cruising 

(aye) 

Fighting my demons
Wish I was dreaming
Please tell me the reason, that you had to do it
