Calling Out 2 You (Intro) - J.I the Prince of N.Y

I know shit was picture perfect, but it didn’t fit the timeframe

I took advantage of my talent when my time came

Right now I’m driving through this boulevard of shame

I’ll get back to you when I don’t feel this pain

Catch me swervin' in my lane

Blow a couple M’s on a new Bugatti

I’m insane, walk around with my head high like who gone try me?

Gotta keep a low profile 'cause everything I do get leaked

I got stoned with Rosetta, I’m tryna teach her how I speak

If you bringing up my flaws, don’t televise 'em to the streets

I was selling books and CDs on my block, so I could eat

I kept it 100, then I spent that on my piece

And until I’m six feet under, I’ma do it for the streets

I did shit you may never do in your lifetime

If she play her role I may let her carry my lifeline

I know life’s a bitch but I fell in love with a better one

Put her in her Birk' now it’s time for me to go get her one

Yeah, don’t put no blame on me, 'cause I can’t take no more

Yeah, I put this weight on me when I walked out that door

Yeah, and I can’t help that I’m so selfish, I’m ashamed

And I can’t help that I get caught up in my ways

And I can’t help that I be fuckin' on ya bestie

And I move way too clean to get caught up in something messy

I know right now you feel alone but it’s okay 'cause you was better on your own

Pick you up when you’re falling down

Can you pick it up when I’m calling out to you, to you, to you?

I still pick you up when you’re falling down

Can you pick it up when I’m calling out to you, to you, to you?

We ain’t never have no hope, so we always took a risk

Rock bottom hit hard, but I took it like a pimp

I took everything I had, and put it on a wish

Took all the time you wasted, and put it on my wrist

Gotta hold my heart with gloves on

If I spot a opp I’ll make him strip and put these slugs on

nigga, this is pain, I ain’t tryna make no love song

She feeling pain, so she don’t wanna hear no love songs

Feel like I got this weight on my shoulders and it’s holding me down

My hand glued to my pistol, I might just air out a crowd

Just sent a prayer to my lost ones, I hope that they proud

If you ain’t give up on me then, why you gon' give up on me now?

Top dog, I got VVS’s on my leash

Get you knocked off, just to earn respect inside these streets

It’s a cold world but let me show you how my heart beat

To understand this lane you gotta sit inside this car seat

I’m still tryna figure out what changed you

niggas mad 'cause I let my dick hang longer than my chains do

Step inside my world to fully comprehend what pain do

You accepted all my flaws just to show the world they painful

Pick you up when you’re falling down

Can you pick it up when I’m calling out to you, to you, to you?

I still pick you up when you’re falling down

Can you pick it up when I’m calling out to you, to you, to you?

High off my pride like a perc' but I can’t swallow it, nigga

I stood out the way but paved it for a lot of you niggas

Put the spotlight on my children 'cause I’m proud of you niggas

Might just let ya on a track so I could body you niggas

There’s too much levels I could stoop to

My dog got laced now he don’t move the way he used to

I wanna hug 'em and tell 'em I love 'em but I’m ashamed

It’s hard to handle the fact my brother might not be the same

And this for all the niggas who supported me

This for all the engineers I paid when they recorded me

This for all the labels who looked down and closed they door on me

I went platinum in the trenches when these niggas had no loyalty

A year later, we only getting started

She listen to all my songs but still ask me why I’m heartless

Tried to stab me in my back, but I still had ya shit regardless

On this intro I reflected on my pain and went retarded
