Leo 11 - Novocain Lyrics

Oh my God
Oh my God

I been down so long I don't need no Novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same

Uhn, aye
Don't know what to say
It feel like my life is running away
As the time pass and my dreams fade
And I write about pain all over again
God, help me
Lord knows this ain't healthy
Why life feel like hell, B
Know I pray to God can you tell me
When they finally hear this flow
Will they think that kid Leo dope
Or will they think that I'm blowing smoke
Cuz I'm never as good as I always hoped
I ain't like these other niggas
Rapping bout Uzis and pulling triggers
F*cking women so my head bigger
Fake a life that I ain't living
Nah, truth is Imma lonely nigga
Just have a dream and some hunger nigga
Mad low since summer nigga
Of '99 came from mother figure
Years later left with father figure
The two I just mentioned are not together
They decided it was for the better
Don't know if it would've mattered either
So the kid and his dad in MD
Mother alone in ATL
And so was born the two cities
That would inspire the stories Leo would tell
They would bring other things
Like anguish and tears and heartbreak and pain
That lasted 'till the child was a man
And muffled cries that were all in vain

I been down so long I don't need no Novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same
I been down so long I don't need no novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same

God, god
No one home to listen in
Know my Dad is still signed to Uncle Sam
Who had him up in Afghanistan
Risking his life shooting Taliban
Back home no one here boy
Only had like 4 friends that was real boy
Dealing with this I was just a boy
They don't understand why my smiles was
Replaced with frowns
Happiness no longer found
Having thoughts of being underground
When I bring it up I'm a f*cking clown
Damn, lemme chill
That's a different story that'll be revealed
If I ever make it to Dreamville
Where happiness found and my dreams live
Y'all don't know
This darkness shading my glow
Got no shine to my name
Boy low like I'm in grave
6 feet
Shit deep
Like this real shit that I speak
Boy I been gone
But I pray that y'all can see

I been down so long I don't need no Novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same
I been down so long I don't need no Novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same

Uhn, aye
I feel it coming
My time is near after frantically running
For years
These tears
Been running this race I'm switching gears
I'm going home
770
To north Atlanta I go
Shit, it's been a long road
It's been a long road
Don't count me out
Cuz I'm on my way
To a better place
To a brighter day
Been 11 years that I been gone
From part 3 to part 1
I been feeling so out of place
I been feeling so ill
I been feeling unappreciated
Been losing my sense of real
Feel out of body
Feel wasted
Like I got no purpose
I hate it
Always knew I was capable
For bigger things then I'm hated for
Fam acting disappointed
Dad say he ashamed
He can't seem to understand
Why his only son never came
To be
What he wanted to see
That great doctor with a PhD
4.0 from ivy league
Only way to make him happy
Sorry dad but that's not me
Always did my best to try to please
But I lost myself and I did worse
When I let you down man it hurt, but

I been down so long I don't need no Novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same
I been down so long I don't need no Novocain
All the shit I been through got me numb to all the pain
Got me feeling like all of my sacrifice in vain
Got me feeling like I ain't gon' never be the same

Be the same
Damn, damn y'all don't know the pain
Shit, God please don't be in vain
Damn, yea oh my God, aye
Aye oh my God, aye
