​the stakes lyrics

[Intro: Sewerperson & James Gandolfini]
Everybody involved knows the stakes
(JabariOnTheBeat)
It's pain

[Chorus]
Papers all over the floor, messages stuck in the door
You can't behave anymore, so I can't be here anymore
Take my ass back to the pound, I can't be roamin' around
I thought you really had loved me, thought you was holdin' it down
But no, yeah
I get too stuck in these sounds, especially with no one around
That's when the realest come out, oh, you know
Really I can't see the crowd, really it's me and this loud
Even when I go underground, I'll try to bust out the mound

[Verse]
I just rolled up with some purple, and I lit this blunt in the house (Yeah)
I got some sh*t on my mind, but can't let it get to my mouth
I know it's a tale old as time, it shouldn't be a reason to pout
Hit my line with production, you know this sh*t bound to come out (Yeah)
He gettin' flamed like a torch without a reasonable doubt
Frankly, I keep my sh*t settle, but you went and brought this sh*t out of me (Uh)
Spittin' out injuries, that sh*t made me some enemies
I hate gettin' dirty in this, especially when you a friend to me (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Papers all over the floor, messages stuck in the door
You can't behave anymore, so I can't be here anymore
Take my ass back to the pound, I can't be roamin' around
I thought you really had loved me, thought you was holdin' it down (Holding it down)
But no, yeah
I get too stuck in these sounds, especially with no one around
That's when the realest come out, oh, you know (Know)
Really I can't see the crowd, really it's me and this loud
Even when I go underground, I'll try to bust out the—

[Bridge: Sewerperson & James Gandolfini]
f*ck it 'cause it won't change sh*t
Don't try to call me back
There's a reason that it bounce back 'fore it start buzzin' (For real)
(It's not going through)
But don't try to hit me back
That treason sh*t formed my end of discussion, for real
Don't change sh*t
We're soldiers, soldiers don't go to Hell
(Uh, I promise you that, yeah)
It's war, soldiers that kill other soldiers
Everybody involved knows the stakes

[Chorus]
Papers all over the floor, messages stuck in the door
You can't behave anymore, so I can't be here anymore
Take my ass back to the pound, I can't be roamin' around
I thought you really had loved me, thought you was holdin' it down
But no, yeah
I get too stuck in these sounds, especially with no one around
That's when the realest come out, oh, you know (Yeah)
Really I can't see the crowd, really it's me and this loud
Even when I go underground, I'll try to bust out the mound, uh
[Outro]
(Really I can't see the crowd, really it's me and this loud)
(Even when I go on the ground, I'll try to bust out the mound)
