Elvinthedon A Bitter Portrait Lyrics:
I got a story to tell I need a minute
Wishing that my anecdote end we drink a pinot
Cuz all these moments that I'm drinking my soreness I gotta feel it
Hoping when a man with a cape will pay a visit
Shit! A nigga down, I'm more than a flow
Things motherfuckers gon be saying when you on the low
Thinking that they solid but they stripping up your aura
Sneaking dissing, Competitions
Leaving you with just a heavy blow

I read between the lines I saw the favors and the settlement
When they wrong you got no choice, you hol' on to your sentiments
Thinking you're part of a ménage, my soul in tenement
What the fuck is you? You're needed when you got the element

They always say "You gotta head out!" You are the enemy
All I did was put myself first and that's a felony
I listen to the melody playing, I heard the elegy
The streets can't be your therapy
Gotta pay all the penalties, save me I need me help

Lord I come crying
Oh me I need likkle favor
Shutting down, I'm down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears
Tell Mama imma survive
(vive)
Boy did I got a lil braver
Shutting down, I'm down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears

(Cough)

Young fellow been having a chief part of everything
Your lil win get him to shredding
Duct my energy I'm living off low shedding
Granting many apologies red in me like a melon
Assumed they know who I am that's why family always relent me

I know you just need me to follow
Couple niggas in the bunker always feeling hollow
Trifle fat niggas in the corner also thinking shallow
Always on my neck, I don't know what you want
Give me a break Nigga!

Lord I come crying
Oh me I need likkle favor
Shutting down, I'm down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears
Tell Mama imma survive
(vive)
Your boy did I got a lil braver
Shutting down, I'm down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears

I just needed me to be a whole
Once upon a time I got a goal
But now I found a hole
I'm dug in with a hoe
My soul a joke
I'm feeling better that certain atrocities will be a hoax

Looking at me now before I bloat
One day little man will be afloat
And I know my journey will be flying up the pole
Taking up a stroll
Facing out my role
Right before the mole will be out of control
So big man in heaven

Lord I come crying
Oh me I need likkle favor
Shutting down, I'm down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears
Tell Mama imma survive
(vive)
Your boy did I got a lil braver
Shutting down, I'm down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears

Lord I come crying
Need likkle favor
Down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen this gangster's tears
Tell Mama imma survive
Boy did I got a lil braver
Down on my knees
I got a plea, please listen to this gangster's tears
