Not That Deep

People love to over dramatize everything but it's not that deep Acting like they're big time gangsters, but they're not that street Running their mouths but they were the ones who lost the beef It's best for them to stay quiet, but they think they've got to speak I'm tired of the fake gangsta image I don't know how to take the gimmick Because you've never had a fight never mind held a weapon I've been to war and back and hurt myself from depression I put my battles out there because I've got the scars to prove it You talk about buying guns, but you can't buy the heart to use it Acting tough on social media, but no one can find you Because in person you only act tough with 10 guys behind you I'm trying to help you see clearly, but your own stupidity must blind you I don't hear you You don't mean what you say, why would I fear you? I've battled my own demons and depression and came out as the winner You talk like you're hard to try and make yourself seem bigger Here, let me help you out and make your life a little easier Just so you know, the police have social media They can see your posts, so stop with the fake image and posting fake guns Snitching in yourself, just shows you're a fake one Never claimed to be a gangsta because I'm not But I fought depression without a loss So I've earned my name Learn the game When it's your turn to change You have to take it Never been the type to dress up who I am, I'd rather let them see me naked I'm tired of all these fake gangstas who have never been on the street You think you're Scarface, but we all can see through you, and it's really not that deep
