Lookin' In Lyrics

Feel like the days is getting shorter even though it ain't winter

Shit getting colder seems like niggas falling like timber

I remember days when niggas smoked a blunt to keep warm

In desert storms under the bleachers where some niggas was winners

They considered us losers cause the route we was choosin'

Was fast money flip a pack get it tonight and we move it

Less than 24 hours hit the plug keep that shit moving

And even though we was just selling tree the shit was still ruthless

Cause niggas follow your movements

They see you tryna get to it while they don't do shit so they plotting to get you hit

Basic high school shit

But on the outside looking in I see the life that I was living and feel stupid

I was life's student

I ain't learn shit from my teachers, but I learned everything I needed from boot kicks

From TPD when jumping off a fence in hot pursuit

Still couldn't catch me I hit the jets and told 'em suck a dick

On the outside looking in

Wish I woulda did some shit differently

If I knew that this music shit was meant for me

On the outside looking in

I could've put some niggas on game

Showed 'em a different way to make it out the rain

On the outside looking in

If I never moved the second time I did

I probably wouldn't be around to see a wife and a kid

On the outside looking in

Still on the outside looking in but it's later down the line

Tryna get my niggas out that city running out of time

I can't hear about another nigga that I fuck with dyin'

Stopped talking about it earlier it's hard to without cryin'

Tired of seeing headlines with my niggas names inside

Whether they doing time or they the victims of the crime

For being in the wrong place wrong time

And not changing they mind about that deal 'fore they decided to slide

I never been good at keeping up when I relocate

Flaw of my own I hope the lord help me fix it one day

Got some friends I'm never gon' see again

And I ain't message 'em cause I thought I could come back and parlay

But that ain't how life works when niggas tryna make it out the right way

And still tryna get quick pay

The same night that my nigga walked the stage

He lost his life over an ounce to a nigga in eighth grade

Wish I woulda did some shit differently

If I knew that this music shit was meant for me

On the outside looking in

I could've put some niggas on game

Showed 'em a different way to make it out the rain

On the outside looking in

If I never moved the second time I did

I probably wouldn't be around to see a wife and a kid

On the outside looking in

On the outside looking in
