Pieces

[Intro: 50 Cent]

Adrenaline pumpin', heart pacer racing, altercations, we lit

Blood drip stain the ground, boy get down, you hit

Same hood, different day, same whip, different clip

Lettin' off, somehow we end up in the same shit

[Verse 1: Tory Lanez]

And she don't fuck with niggas 'cause niggas is the reason

She got herself inside of this situation in the first place

Brooklyn murder lathers a birth place

Facin' the city, quotin' Biggie on all of the worst days

I used to take the train with her so none of these lames give her the danger

Livin' from where she was at was a plain picture

I used to paint pictures on how we could gain riches together

Instead of listen, she just kinda blew me off

Paid it no mind, but it kind of just threw me off

I guess I figured out, everybody wants riches and the cars

But she just wanted a better family because her parents divorced

Early, her papa, he was taken by the force

Mother on crack and she never had time to bathe her

'Stead she gave her to her uncle, her brother played the saviour

Until the day he started datin' this chick

That had put him up on mad pills and fuckin' up mad bills

She told me that one night he had got so fucked up

He fell asleep on his sofa, then woke up a new persona

And walked inside of her room and told her remove her clothing

And forcefully started chokin' her and tellin' her not to move

Before she could even finish, she rolled out in tears and did it

Told me that for years, this night was a repetition, a feelin', a fear

That she couldn't seem exit or quit it, the feeling was there

Started talkin' lower and she told me come here

She said she had to make choices

So she got involved with niggas that make noise with them thangs, you feel

Ran off in her uncle's spot with the stainless steel

Put the burner to his face with this aim to kill

And said, she don't fuck with niggas, 'cause niggas is the reason

She got herself inside of this situation in the first place

Figured this intimidation was the worst case

She sat back and blew six in that boy face

[Interlude]

*gun shots*

Shot, him, dead

[Chorus: Tory Lanez]

I want you, my dear

No, I won't leave you lonely

You hold your head up high

I won't let go 'cause I can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

[Verse 2: Tory Lanez]

He don't fuck with niggas 'cause niggas is the reason

He got himself inside of this situation in the first place

He had no father figure

He told me that his papa got shot in the face

And he can't wait to find out who his killer

He dedicated his life and now wants to know who had a motive to kill his only father

He felt, it had to be somebody close

It couldn't be somebody far away that didn't know 'im

But take this pardon

When he was younger, he used to roll with his cousin

The woman that used to show him the ropes

She used to tell him, don't ever let no nigga or woman touch her

And if somebody do, then all they would hear is the baka baka baka baka

One day, he was on the block rollin'

Then, this crack fiend woman came up to him and told him

That she was his mother, man, that shit had him frozen

He ain't want to believe her 'til she said, "Boy, you got a birthmark above your scrotum

A scar up on your eye, came from when you was four, from when you fell off in the road"

At that point, he looked at her face and he froze

She told him hold on, it's something she gotta show him

She says to him, "I was gon' wait until you got older

But something was on my mind, was pressin', I had to show you

The whole block know me and the whole block know you

The whole block been knew this story, but they ain't told you"

His mom says to him, "I hope you know your pap was a good man

But he just had some nonsense to him

Huh, well, one night, he's fucked up on the pills

I'm tryna tell him stop, but everything I'm sayin' fails

You see, your lil' cousin in Brooklyn, where we would leave ya, uh

I know she love you, but the story's more deeper

Uh, you see, your father used to be a creeper

He used to fuck her, used to touch her, used to beat her

Used to leave her so confused she would lace her coke and reefer

Wait, I know you wanna interrupt but this get deeper

You've been livin' this mission, you tryna figure out who's the nigga

Or the perpetrator of killin' your pops, nigga

When your cousin is the reason, he got shot nigga

She put six shots in him out the Glock, nigga"

His anger was dwellin' all on his mind

He didn't know what to do, he started grippin' his 9

And uh, before he knew, he aimed it up at his mom

And uh, *gun shots* he shot her right in his spine

He said, "This is why, my life has been full of lies

Don't nobody care for me, fuck it, what's the use in tryin'?

This Glock on my side, if I put it to my mind

I know that I'ma die, but in Heaven, I'd be alive"

[Bridge: 50 Cent]

Adrenaline pumpin', heart pacer racing, altercations, we lit

Blood drip stain the ground, boy get down, you hit

Same hood, different day, same whip, different clip

Lettin' off, somehow we end up in the same shit

[Verse 3: 50 Cent]

Stunt, get jumped on, slashed or dumped-ons

Same block you pump on is the spot you get slumped on

Tory told me the story, it sounded a little crazy

A little Nas, a little 2Pac, Brenda's havin' a baby

How much pressure can you take 'fore you snap or break?

Love turn to hate? Fuck shit or fake

Your next move may raise the murder rate

From average to savage, to semi-automatics

It's tragic how the static'll have us goin' at it

[Chorus: Tory Lanez]

I want you, my dear

No, I won't leave you lonely

You hold your head up high

I won't let go 'cause I can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely

Can't leave you lonely
