Alone / EA6 - Sped Up Songtext
von 6LACK

I know that but being around, in that atmosphere and seeing how people move
You know seeing how, how they make records, you know what kind of record they make
I′m just like, I don't want this shit for myself
And I don′t ever want niggas to try to pull me into that
'Cause I've been tugged a couple times like, "Ayy, do this shit man, do that"
But I′m like man, I don′t want, I don't want that for me, man
And if I keep tellin′ y'all I don′t want that shit for me

And y'all keep, you know, tryna nudge and push
I understand y′all got your vision and y'all got your formula
But that shit don't work for me, man, I′m not gonna conform
Like, I′m not settling for that shit
'Cause if I do it once and it pop, I′ma have to keep doing that shit over and over again
You can't build no fanbase like that
You, you become, you become, you become a fuckin′ song instead of a person
That shit, I'm not, I′m not tryna be that, man

Mmm, migraines from overthinking, I'm tryna let go
Let go of my past, man, that shit been tryna creep up, up
Contemplating on if I'm really as strong as I thought, bitch, I might be
Quick to pull me down but as much as I′ve seen, I can′t fall, it's unlikely


Shit get a little twisted up
I put my troubles in a dirty then I mix it up
I′m 'bout to change my number like I haven′t switched enough
This is home and you ain't Zone 6 enough

Gone
I′m from East Atlanta Zone
If you ain't from it, take your ass home
I let my heart talk, keep my mental strong
Speak the whole truth 'til my money long

Half of them don′t even know your name
I don′t want that, I want people to know who the fuck I am
I want people to know what I stand for
I want people to be personal and know
"This is 6LACK, this is what he believe in"

What we need to talk about
Get gone, get gone, yeah-yeah
Got the past whispering in my ear
He flaw, she flaw, what's wrong?
I got troubles, and they won′t leave me alone

It seems like e'rybody got something to say
E′rybody got a look they tryna get off of their face
E'rybody got an opinion and I don′t want one
Tryna tell me a better way to do some shit that you ain't ever done


Sips drink in the booth
Black down to my shoes
Kick shit with my troops
Kicking shit, Ryu
You not with the shit why you
Front for those who don't matter
When they not thinking about you?

If I learned anything, it would probably be to listen more than I talk
And don′t brag about what I got, just multiply what I brought
I never dwell on a loss
Never give a nigga sauce
He might run off with it all, he might run off with it all
He might run off with, he might run off with it all

Get gone get gone, yeah-yeah
Got the past whispering in my ear
He flaw, she flaw, what′s wrong?
I got troubles, and they won't leave me alone
Get gone, get gone, get-
Got the past whispering in my ear
He flaw, she flaw, what′s wrong
I got troubles, and they won't leave me alone

Like I′m more of myself than I've ever been
Which is something that you really gotta come to face with sometimes
′Cause, I thought I was, you know, fully myself 24-7
But nope, like right now is how I'm supposed to feel all the time
It's how I′m supposed to be all the time
It′s how I'm supposed to think all the time
Now I know going out of this, I know leaving this
That will follow me

It doesn′t, you know, end with this, you know
I gotta take it and I, I live with it every day
I see the people around me and
I feel so much
I wanna put it in words
Try figure out where to go with it, but I just feel so much
I know they don't even feel as much as I feel

But that′s alright, that's alright
We have two different purposes
Clearly my purpose is some shit that′s way fucking bigger than me
Then it gets completely quiet when I'm at the beach
I know I'm one person but I kinda feel like this ripple effect is gonna impact a lot of people
I feel God talking
And when he talks everything else is silent

Summer 2011
Almost lost my faith in God
Same time I never prayed so hard
Took control of my life so I wouldn′t have to take no job
Press play I couldn′t take no pause
I'm from east Atlanta 6, they don′t play that shit
In East Atlanta 6, you better make that lick
Or they be at your front door with that gun doe
Know them niggas Nick Cannon with the fucking drum roll

East side 'til a nigga die
Beast mode ′til a nigga cry
Sensei make a nigga fly
Shit hard but you gotta try
If I can do it, you can do it too
Time to be a better guy

I found the answer ridin' down Candler
I′m late for court 'cause traffic on Moreland
I'm trying to preach to y′all what′s important
So hard for me to ignore ignorance

I don't know why I feel it′s my place
I know you see the pain in my face
I call the shots and move at my pace
But I understand it's all a big race
I understand you want that big face
They offering and hey
It′s hard for me to say
That I wouldn't bite the bait they threw me
Be cautious where you play
It′s darkness in the A

Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A
Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A
Be cautious where you play, there′s darkness in the A
Be cautious where you play, there′s darkness in the A

A-Town stomp on the old me
Used to ride through the hood with the slow creep
People gon' love what they don′t need
I remember what the OG's told me
You better shine bright when the lights down
Less talk, more show, nigga, pipe down
′Cause words ain't shit but your thoughts out loud
And thoughts are the opposite of showin′ niggas how

Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A
Be cautious where you play, there's darkness in the A
Be cautious where you play, there′s darkness in the A
Be cautious where you play, there′s darkness in the A
